The Waskesiu Golf Course offers
breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Enjoy a pre or post
game meal and drinks at the historic clubhouse.
The Golf Clubhouse at Waskesiu in Prince Albert
National Park, one of the more elaborate park
examples of the "Tudor Rustic" style,
was built in 1934-35 by unemployment relief labour.
The golf clubhouse has been designated and Recognized
Heritage building because of the quality of its
design, setting and craftsmanship. It also reflects
an important stage in the development of the Waskesiu
townsite.
The setting, one of the most desirable sites
in the Waskesiu townsite area, is a prominent
rise of land offering a panoramic view of Waskesiu
Lake. It provides an appropriate and picturesque
environment, with its mature treesand carefully
tended golfing greens, for the rustic architectural
character of the clubhouse.
The building itself maintains the picturesque
quality of the site with it's massive log walls,
stone fireplace and trim, half-timbered gables,
leaded glass windows, and steeply-pitched roof
with bell-cast eaves. The double brick chimney,
rectangular north bay with plated glass windows,
and hipped roof treatment of the east facade were
modifications to the design during construction;
the building has changed relatively little since
that time.
