Deer Park Golf Course
One mile west of Yorkton on Highway 52.
Deer Park is a highly-ranked 18 hole course in the province. The course derives much of its challenge from its hilly terrain, and ample trees and bush. During the 1920s the area was a wild animal park, which was then developed into a golf course. The animal park is now gone, but deer still frequently visit the mature aspen groves which line most of the fairways. The course is 6,082 yards, par 72 for men and par 73 for women, and the slope rating is 118.
Rolling hills, plenty of bunkers, and the trees place a premium on accuracy over length. This course will challenge both experts and beginners alike. Power carts, equipment rental and lessons are available from the CPGA pro shop.
Appropriate golf attire (no tank tops; shirts must be worn) is expected. The clubhouse is non-smoking. Food service with wine, beer and liquor is available. For tee time reservations call 306-786-1711. More details and course map

The executive-nine course and adjacent campgrounds are on land that was first farmed by the Cherry family at the turn of the century.
The course was originally built as a 1,500 yard par 3 with two tee boxes per hole, but has since been expanded to three teeboxes per hole, playing 2,512 yards from the back tees. Water comes into play on five of the holes. The rough is rough and a player is rewarded for making good shots.
An old farmhouse is the clubhouse with pro shop, driving range and equipment rental available. Also on site is an 18-hole mini golf course, campground and walking trails. Credit cards are not accepted, and there is no dress code.
