Tor Hill Golf Course
About this course
Tor Hill Golf Course occupies rolling terrain on the northern edge of Regina, designed by Stanley Thompson and opened in the early 1930s during his most prolific period. Thompson, Canada's most celebrated Golden Age architect, routed the course over natural glacial moraine that provides unusual elevation change for the Saskatchewan prairie. The property's name derives from the prominent hills that define the landscape, and Thompson used these contours to create strategic interest and variety across the layout. The East and North nines combine to form one of the primary eighteen-hole configurations at the facility. Thompson's routing takes advantage of the property's topography, with holes playing through stands of mature trees and across open meadowland. The design reflects his characteristic attention to natural drainage patterns and his preference for greens that relate closely to their surrounding landforms. Several holes feature elevated tees or greens that offer views across the Regina plains. Tor Hill serves as a municipal facility, making Thompson's design accessible to a broad range of golfers in the Regina area. The course has undergone various maintenance and restoration efforts over the decades to preserve the original design intent while adapting to modern playing standards. The layout remains a representative example of Thompson's work on the prairies, where he created strategic golf on relatively modest terrain through careful use of natural features and thoughtful green complexes.

Getting there
The journey to Tor Hill Golf Course begins at Regina International Airport, a compact prairie hub just fifteen minutes north of the city center. From there, the drive east unfolds across the flat, open expanse of southern Saskatchewan - wide skies, grain elevators punctuating the horizon, and the kind of unbroken sightlines that make distance feel both intimate and infinite. Within twenty minutes, the landscape begins to roll ever so slightly as you approach the club, where Tor Hill rises with quiet distinction from the surrounding farmland, its modest elevation a welcome interruption in a region defined by its levelness.
