Course Map

The landing area on the shortest par 4 on the course is heavily treed. Big hitters will want to be wary of the course's 2nd bunker which guards the front of the green. This is a true birdie hole as the green will easily receive a well placed second shot with a wedge. The middle pin position yields a large number of birdies.

The first of the new holes, the 5th presents a terrific challenge. The second-longest par 4 on the course requires a good drive that avoids the trees at the corner of the dogleg on the right. A mid-iron into this large but accepting green played to the middle of the green gives you a decent shot at birdie or par to any of the 4 pin positions.

A lateral hazard along the right hand side of the hole, woods to the left and a hazard running across the width of the fairway requires an accurate drive. Take about one more club that normal into this green as it is more up hill than it looks.

Only the big hitters can hope to reach the longest hole on the course in two. A drive to the middle or right of the fairway gives you a good look down the fairway to the green. An approach shot to the middle of the green is really the right play no matter where the pin placement is. Attacking the pin, particularly on the middle left is sure to leave you with a chip and a putt for a par. Don't forget to stop in the clubhouse for a snack and a bevie on your way to the 10th tee.

The signature hole of the Yellowknife Golf Course features a beautifull vista overlooking Long Lake. The elevated back tee makes this hole play a bit shorter than the distance on the card. However, the wind direction and speed can vary dramtically making club selection critical.

Take time to catch your breath after the steep walk up the hill from the 12th green. The second shortest par 4 on the course provides a definite birdie opportunity. However, with OB on the left and trouble on the right, including another view of "the Pit", accuracy of the tee is critical to making a good score.

This is a tough par 4 by anyone's standard. Although it is straight and has ample fairway, it is very long and the green is tough to hold and to putt on. Par is a very good score here and could win a skin.

Big hitters can bomb it off the tee and cut the corner on the left. Most of us will need a well placed tee shot in the middle of the fairway just short of the pond about 230 out. From there you will have a mid to short iron into a firm green. It always seems closer than it is when standing in the fairway so think about hitting a 1/2 club extra to get to a green that is well protected on all sides by bush. This hole can often decide a tight match.
