Moonlake Golf & Country Club

The Heather Course at Moonlake Golf & Country Club represents a collaboration between Canadian architects Les Furber and Jim Eremko, situated in the prairie landscape surrounding Saskatoon. The design works with the natural Saskatchewan terrain, incorporating native grasses and the region's characteristic open vistas. The routing takes advantage of available elevation changes and natural drainage patterns typical of the area's topography. Furber, known for his work across Western Canada, brought experience in designing courses suited to prairie conditions and the region's climate. The Heather Course reflects an approach that balances playability with strategic interest, using the landscape's features rather than imposing heavily manufactured elements. The course serves the Saskatoon golf community as part of Moonlake's multi-course facility. The layout incorporates the native heather and fescue grasses that give the course its name, creating visual definition and playing challenges around fairways and greens. Wind, a constant factor in Saskatchewan golf, influences club selection and strategy throughout the round. The course provides views across the surrounding prairie landscape, characteristic of golf in this part of Canada. Moonlake functions as a private club serving Saskatoon and the surrounding region, offering members access to multiple courses and facilities. The Heather Course contributes to the club's reputation within Saskatchewan's golf community, providing a design that reflects both the local landscape and contemporary Canadian course architecture.
