About this course

The Links at Quarry Oaks in Steinbach, Manitoba, opened in 2000 as a Les Furber design built on reclaimed quarry land approximately 50 kilometers southeast of Winnipeg. Furber, a prominent Western Canadian architect, transformed the former gravel extraction site into a golf course that incorporates the dramatic elevation changes and exposed rock faces left behind by quarrying operations. The routing takes advantage of these manufactured landforms, creating a playing experience uncommon in the typically flat prairie landscape of southern Manitoba. The course features significant elevation changes throughout, with several holes playing from elevated tees down into former quarry bowls or climbing back up ridges of exposed limestone and aggregate. Water comes into play on multiple holes, both from natural drainage patterns and quarry ponds that remained after extraction ceased. The property's industrial past gives the layout a rugged, links-style character despite its inland location, with relatively open terrain, firm conditions, and wind exposure that can significantly affect play. Quarry Oaks serves as a public facility and has become a notable destination course in Manitoba, drawing golfers interested in its unusual topography and the visual drama of playing among quarry walls and rock outcroppings. The course represents an example of adaptive reuse in golf design, where industrial sites are reclaimed for recreational purposes. The Steinbach area's Mennonite heritage and agricultural economy provide the broader community context, though the course itself focuses primarily on providing championship-length golf in a distinctive setting.

Getting there

The journey to The Links at Quarry Oaks begins at Winnipeg Richardson International Airport, a straightforward forty-minute drive southeast into the fertile farmland of Manitoba's Eastman region. The route follows the Trans-Canada Highway before peeling south toward Steinbach, a prosperous Mennonite community where grain elevators punctuate the horizon and the prairie gradually yields to modest glacial ridges. As the highway transitions to local roads, the landscape opens onto the unexpected drama of reclaimed quarry land - a striking geological shift that signals arrival at one of Manitoba's most distinctive golf settings.
