CHARLES COUNTRY CLUB HISTORY Enthusiasm, dedication and commitment A group of 23 prominent businessmen gathered in 1904 to organize a country club outside the city of Winnipeg. In 1905, construction began on the clubhouse and a golf course, laid out by Tom Bendelow, seven miles west of the city on the banks of the Assiniboine River. Before the year ended, the club had entertained the Governor-General of Canada, Earl Grey, and one of its members, Douglas Laird, had scored the first hole-in-one. It was an auspicious beginning to what would become an outstanding institution in the sporting and social life of the community. The country club pioneered polo in Manitoba, hosting teams from Canada and the U.S. Croquet, steeple chasing, tennis, cricket and trapshooting were also popular. But golf became the preference of members. In 1919, world-famous course architect Donald Ross was brought to St. Charles to rebuild the original eighteen holes, the South Nine and the West Nine. High mounds and steep slopes around bunkers and greens distinguish St. Charles, as they do more than 100 other Rossdesigned courses. Another renowned architect, Dr. Alister MacKenzie, famous for his designs at Royal Melbourne in Australia and Cypress Point in California, was hired in 1929 to lay out the North Nine. It opened in 1931, and the MacKenzie hallmark of blending the course into the natural terrain was incorporated into St. Charles. It has been the Club’s constant desire to maintain quality, and improvements have been made through the years by noted Canadian architects Stanley Thompson, Norman Woods and Bill Robinson. The country club has attracted leading business and professional people in Winnipeg. Enthusiasm for the game of golf, a spirit of friendship, consideration for family and an appreciation for a quality private club are the attributes shared by members of St. Charles. ST.

A rich past, a vibrant present T he Past: Some of the game’s greatest players, golf immortals and distinguished world figures have trod the lush fairways of St. Charles and enjoyed its special ambience. Harry Vardon played an exhibition game at the Club as did the talented and colourful Walter Hagen. The Duke of Windsor, a life-long golf addict, played St. Charles when he was the much loved Prince of Wales. The Canadian Open, a PGA Tour stop, brought many of North America’s best to St. Charles in 1952. Thirty years later one of the first Senior Tour events was featured. This was the 1982 Peter Jackson Tournament, when the Senior Tour was in it’s infancy. Notable participants for the event were “Slammin Sammy” Snead and Moe Norman. The course record was eclipsed by Bob Goalby, during play, with a one round score of 64. The Club hosted most of the front-line tournaments played each year in Canada, starting with the Canadian Women’s Golf Championship in 1933. The Manitoba Open has been held at the Club on numerous occasions. The first international victory for a Canadian golf team happened here at the Americas Golf Cup Team Match event in 1965 as the Club hosted players from Mexico, the U.S. And Canada. The course was selected in 1992 to host the 19th du Maurier Ltd. Classic. As one of four major championships on the LPGA tour it attracted the top women professional golfers in the world. Again in 2000 St. Charles was called upon to host the A T & T Canada Senior Open. Jack Nicklaus graced this fine event by playing. 2010 saw the CN Canadian Womens Open where once again top LPGA players challenged the course. Michelle Wie emerged the victor. The Present: Several golfing groups meet virtually every day. The Club’s staff is pleased to direct new members to the organizers of these groups. ST. CHARLES COUNTRY CLUB ST.
