Golf at Katepwa Beach, Saskatchewan Feb 20, 2006 - Linknet Travel News - After spending a few days at the Moose Mountain region of Saskatchewan, we headed towards Regina to stay the last two days in the Qu'Appelle Valley near the Katepwa Beach Golf Club.== Earn up to 75% of PPC Advertising Revenue == To reach the course you drive up the hill past a camp ground and RV park. It has a little par 3 course with lots of families and kids enjoying the golfing experience. Drive a bit further and there is the clubhouse, perched on the hill overlooking the valley where you can see the course spread out before you.  Hole #1, par 5 - 532 yards from the back tees Built on more than 100 acres of land, Katepwa is only a 9 hole course, but doesn't feel like it. The holes have enough variety and tee positions that they don't seem repetitive at all. In fact I found myself wanting to get back to a couple of the more challenging holes to give them another crack. The middle holes are higher, built on the upper areas of the valley. This makes them more exposed to the elements, and offers great views of Katepwa Lake. The 5th hole is a short but tough par three with an uphill tee shot and a vista that conjures up the Saskatchewan motto "Land of the Living Skies."  Hole #3, par 3, 182 yards from the blacks Number 7 is another great par 3 - 212 yards -- which I almost managed to birdie the first time around. According to the card, it can also be played as a par 4.  Hole #8, par 4 - 445 from the blues, 474 from the blacks It is followed up by a challenging par 4 - 474 from the back tees. From the elevated tee you can play your biggest drive to the right side of the fairway and have a shot at running it up with a long iron or 3 wood. This course is a real gem. If you're ever in the Regina area, and don't mind driving an hour or so, it is worth a visit. The Course: 9 holes, 3233 yards Green Fees: for 18 holes Directions: District of Katepwa, east of Regina, 306-332-6645 website: http://golfkatepwa.com The Weekend Golfer
