The Links at Quarry Oaks occupies a former sand and gravel quarry site on the outskirts of Steinbach, a small city in southeastern Manitoba roughly an hour from Winnipeg. Les Furber, a prominent Canadian golf course architect with numerous designs across the prairie provinces, routed the course through the reclaimed industrial landscape in the late 1990s. The quarry's excavated terrain provides dramatic elevation changes uncommon in the otherwise flat Manitoba prairie, with steep faces, deep pits, and exposed sand creating a rugged, links-style character despite the inland setting. The routing takes advantage of the quarry's natural amphitheater qualities, with holes playing across and around the excavated bowls and ridges. Exposed sand faces and native grasses frame many holes, while the property's sandy soil ensures firm conditions and good drainage. The elevation shifts produce blind or semi-blind shots and require thoughtful club selection, as distances can be deceiving across the varied topography. Several holes play along or over the quarry's most dramatic features, where steep drop-offs and sand walls come directly into play. The course serves as a public facility and has become a regional destination for golfers in southern Manitoba and nearby areas of North Dakota and Minnesota. Its quarry setting distinguishes it from most prairie courses, offering a playing experience shaped more by industrial reclamation than traditional agricultural or parkland landscapes. The sandy conditions and firm turf give the course a links-like feel that contrasts with the heavier soils typical of the region.
