Clear Lake Golf Course sits within Riding Mountain National Park near the town of Onanole in southwestern Manitoba. Designed by Stanley Thompson and opened in 1933, the course was part of a broader effort during the Depression era to develop recreational facilities in Canada's national parks. Thompson, who created several celebrated courses across the country during this period, worked with the natural terrain to route holes through a landscape of rolling hills, mature forest, and the proximity to Clear Lake itself. The course occupies land that transitions between parkland and boreal forest, with elevation changes that are notable for the region. Thompson's design incorporates strategic bunkering and green complexes that require thoughtful approach play, characteristic of his work during this era. The routing takes advantage of natural clearings and wooded corridors, with several holes offering views toward the lake and surrounding wilderness. The setting within a national park means the course operates within a protected environment, maintaining much of its original character. Clear Lake functions as a public facility accessible to visitors exploring Riding Mountain National Park. The course serves both seasonal residents and tourists drawn to the area's recreational opportunities, which include hiking, wildlife viewing, and water activities on Clear Lake. The golf course represents one of the few Thompson designs in Manitoba and remains a functional example of Depression-era national park golf course development in Canada.
