Some Summer days in Estevan are spent at the golf course. There are a couple courses on the south outskirts of town that fill most local golfers fixes. I like to golf at both courses depending on what I am trying to work on. Hidden Valley Golf Course is great for my short game while TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club helps with my long drives. Hidden Valley has a great family atmosphere and has a mini golf course that the kids love. TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club has a great kids program with instructors that are great with kids. TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club recently opened their new back 9 in 2013 and are
expecting the back nine to be in even better shape with more growth for 2014 season. Hidden Valley has lots of cart rentals available. I love keeping track of my score on their electronic score cards. I can even email them to myself or my competitor to let them know how I played. I usually grab a bite to eat after my game and TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club has a great clubhouse that has some really great food and service. Try their breakfast or their sweet potatoe fries. Both courses host tournaments throughout the season. So if you are planning on hosting a tournament, just talk to their staff! “Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle.” -Unknown

Every year my family and I go camping. The kids talk all year long about our camping adventures. How lucky are we that we don`t have to travel far to create memories! Estevan has a few picks depending on where you want to camp and how you camp. If you are in town working and want a seasonal site, Hidden Valley, Woodlawn Regional Park Souris and Super 6 are all great places to choose. If you are looking
for a family hotspot you might want to choose the Woodlawn Boundary site as it has onsite ammenities that will keep your family busy! Most of the sites have full sewer and water hookup. Both Woodlawn Sites have tenting areas. Woodlawn Souris opens its doors again for the first time this year as it has undergone a major overhaul since the flood of 2011. Our local campgrounds are always busy, so make reservations to confirm your spot.

Tobogganing Feel like a kid again speeding down a snow covered hill and making the long trek back up it. We have a few hills that are known for great tobogganing that many people get use of on beautiful winter days. A well known hill is the “Westview Hill” located on the 1700 block of 1st Street. There is a “ramp” half way down the hill that adds even more distance and speed. The Valley in Pleasantdale area is another great hill. Shorter than Westview but steeper and an easier climb. There are different spots that you can get to the Valley. The north part of Cundall Drive is a good starting place.
Outdoor Ice Rinks The outdoor skating season is weather dependant but usually runs from mid December to early March.
Snowshoeing / Cross Country Skiing on Souris River
Grab your skating gear and head to the outdoor rink. Each outdoor rink is maintained by different community organizations, local volunteers and the City.
Snowshoeing and Cross Country Skiing are fast growing sports that are growing in our area. The Souris River is a great place to try out the sport.
All Rinks are boarded and have hockey nets and shovels to clear snow. They also have warm up shacks that have benches and washrooms.
The Souris River usually freezes over mid-December until early March, but check conditions before you go out on the ice.
