Saskatoon golf courses tee up for Friday opening date

City of Saskatoon recreation services manager Roxane Melnyk said on Tuesday she expects high traffic on city golf courses starting on Wednesday. Melnyk attributed the big demand for golf in part to the pandemic, calling the rising passion a "silver lining of COVID-19." – Apr 25, 2023

Saskatoon residents can get ready to reserve their tee time as Holiday Park, Wildwood, and Silverwood golf courses get ready to open up for the season.

Roxane Melnyk, the recreational service manager for the City of Saskatoon, said they are excited to open up to the public.

“Our season pass holders and the public has been asking for this for the last two weeks. We got the snow last week and we thought we’d have to delay it a little longer,” Melnyk said.

She said the sunshine over the weekend helped.

Melnyk said she expects the courses to be pretty busy over the weekend.

In 2022, the city golf courses had more than 122,000 visitors, with Melnyk saying COVID-19 brought golfing to the forefront and increased the number of recreational golfers hitting the greens.
