Looking for night golf in Winnipeg? You can now play all 18 holes under the lights, with tee times available until midnight.
Southside Golf Course has officially launched its new night golf experience, with all 18 holes now available for night golf. Golfers can book 9-hole or 18-hole tee times daily, with tee times available until midnight.
The new lighting project means golfers can start their round in the evening and seamlessly continue into a full round of golf under the lights.
Night Golf Is Now Available on All 18 Holes
Southside says the entire 18-hole course is now available for night golf, giving Winnipeg golfers a new option for getting out on the course after the sun goes down.
9-hole and 18-hole tee times are available daily until midnight.
The driving range is also now fully lit and remains open daily until midnight, making it possible to hit the range or play a full round well into the evening.
For anyone searching for night golf in Winnipeg, this gives golfers another way to fit a round into their schedule without having to rush to finish before sunset.
Night Golf Rules and Power Cart Requirement
Southside has introduced several policies for night golf following its testing phase.
Any tee time booked after 8 p.m. requires a mandatory power cart rental. The pro shop will assign each golfer a cart number, and golfers are asked to use the cart assigned to them.
All golfers playing during the night golf period must also check in with the starter at Hole #10. Golfers will need to present valid photo ID along with their pro shop receipt.
The starter will take a photo of the ID next to the assigned cart number. Golfers are responsible for any damage to the power cart, as covered by the waiver signed when renting the cart.
Southside says the policies are designed to help maintain a steady pace of play, reduce damage to the course and power carts, and prevent unpaid walk-ons.
Where Is Southside Golf Course Located?
Southside Golf Course is located in Grande Pointe, Manitoba, just southeast of Winnipeg. The course is approximately 20 minutes from downtown Winnipeg and only a short drive beyond the city’s southeast perimeter.
Its location outside the city makes Southside an easy option for Winnipeg golfers looking for a night golf experience without having to travel far from the city. With all 18 holes now lit up and tee times available until midnight, golfers can make the short drive out to Grande Pointe for a round well after sunset.
Watch Out for Sprinklers During Night Golf
There is one unique part of playing golf at night that players should be prepared for: sprinklers.
Southside needs to irrigate the course every day to keep the fairways and greens in good condition. The sprinklers begin turning on at around 9 p.m. and operate at different times and locations throughout the course.
The sprinklers run on a 10-minute cycle, meaning golfers may encounter sprinklers being activated while playing their round.
Golfers are asked to avoid driving their power carts through freshly watered areas whenever possible. And yes, there is a chance you could get sprayed while playing night golf.
Southside says it is looking at ways to reduce the issue in the future, but with the course being used throughout the day and night, completely eliminating the possibility of encountering an active sprinkler is difficult.
A New Way to Golf in Winnipeg
Night golf gives Winnipeg golfers a completely different way to experience the course, especially during the summer when daylight hours can make it difficult to squeeze in a round after work.
With 18 holes of night golf, 9-hole tee times, a fully lit driving range and tee times available until midnight, Southside’s new setup could become a popular option for golfers looking to play late into the evening.
Golfers are encouraged to respect the course, lighting infrastructure and power carts while enjoying the new experience.
