St. Boniface Golf Club is a semi-private golf course in St. Boniface neighbourhood Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The 18-hole, par 72 golf course was designed in 1931 as a nine hole course, then expanded to 18 holes in 1941. The course was built along the Seine River on land still owned by the City of Winnipeg and leased to the golf courses ownership.
History The club opened in 1931 under the presidency of Frank Eastwood. Soon after opening, the club sought to expand to 18 holes, but did not get approval from the city of Winnipeg until 1937. The back nine was opened in August of 1941, but almost immediately shut down at the onset of World War Two.
In 1946, the full course reopened and construction on a clubhouse began. The new clubhouse was opened in October of 1949 and was fully renovated in 2004.“New clubhouse for St. Boniface,” Winnipeg Free Press, 25 October 1949, page 18.“Golf club members enjoy new club house,” Winnipeg Free Press, 23 June 2004, page 67. The clubhouse contains a restaurant.
From 1980 to 1981, Two-time World Curling Champion and long time CBC broadcaster Don Duguid was elected president of the club. Don was a lifetime member of St. Boniface Golf Club.

Most recently the course is the host of the 2026 Manitoba provincial men's amateur championship.J. Alan Hackett, Manitoba Links: A Kaleidoscopic History of Golf, Winnipeg: Gold Quill Publishing, 1998

Golf course St. Boniface Golf Club is located next to the Seine River with the second half of the course winding through fairways lined by mature trees.The course has 3 sets of tees ranging from 5700 yards to 6475 yards. The club identifies the 17th hole, a par 5, as its signature hole. The Seine River runs alongside the hole, and there are bunkers.
The course is shorter by modern standards for hosting major events, but the layout remains difficult and players who wish to be successful must be skilled with their wedges and putting. During the 2026 Manitoba Men's Championship, golfers near the top of the leaderboard were not hitting drivers to avoid the large amount of hazards on the course.
