Located in the southeast corner of Saskatchewan, Oxbow is a thriving and progressive community.
It is located on the Bakken Play, one of the richest oil finds. Oil, agriculture and manufacturing are key contributors to their economy. There are so many reasons why people want to visit the Oxbow area, one of them 小蓝视频 the Moose Creek Golf Course.
Moose Creek Golf Course is a beautiful grass green, nine-hole golf course located at Moose Creek Regional Park.
They plan to be 'up and running' next week after the snow.
"We were making some repairs to our main bridge and that鈥檚 complete now," said Richard Lamontagne, spokesperson on behalf of the club.
"Our greenskeeper reports that everything looks great. Although it鈥檚 very dry just like every other course in the area."
"We鈥檝e been manually watering," explains Lamontagne. "The moisture in this snow will green everything up."
Moose Creek has anywhere from 120 to 130 regular members in their club, although that varies from year to year.
Oxbow has such a huge park with a total of 255 campsites, so the golf course has a lot of green fee players.
"There were only 14 campsites when we built the golf course so we鈥檝e both grown together. We started fundraising for our golf course in 2001 and we opened for business in 2004."
Moose Creek is a fairly 'young' course compared to many others in the area.
Oxbow's golf club has a very good, active board to help out with everything.
"I was president at 27 when we started fundraising," says Lamontagne. "There is a group of us who have been here since Day 1 and a whole bunch of new blood just came on board. We鈥檝e got a bit of a mix of old and new and it鈥檚 going along well."
The club holds men鈥檚 night on Thursdays and ladies鈥� night on Wednesdays.
The COVID-19 rules have opened up a little bit as compared to last year.
"The sport was able to stay pretty active," says Lamontagne, who adds, "I think everyone had a pretty good year last year despite COVID."
Moose Creek Golf Club has some major tournaments in the fall, including their Oilmen鈥檚 tournament.
"We have so many campers that we like to keep our summer months open for walk-ons," explains Lamontagne. "That鈥檚 pretty important to us."
Golfing, unlike many other sports, is one that can still be played.
