Nestled between St. Boniface and St. Vital and situated along the winding Seine river, the Windsor Park Golf Course on Des Meuron Street in Winnipeg has been a favorite for golfers of all abilities since 1922 when it first opened as a nine-hole course.
In 1925, the City of Winnipeg purchased the now 18-hole course to make it the city's second municipal golf course. A new clubhouse was erected that same year at a cost of $20,000 dollars including furnishings. In 1929, a fire destroyed the original clubhouse. A new building was constructed the following year that looked almost identical to the earlier one. Today, the popular and scenic course transforms into a cross-country skiers delight in the winter.
