Manitoba Organization: Minnewasta Golf Club

Located in Morden, originally a nine-hole golf course with sand greens, was built in the mid-1920s. In 1959, land was purchased to construct a new golf course with grass greens. This course officially opened in 1961. In the mid 1980s, a decision was made to make the course into 18 holes. The course that exists today opened in 1989.
