Starting in 2022 the St. Charles Golf & Country Club in Winnipeg, Manitoba moved forward with an ambitious renovation project for the 27 hole facility which was completed in 2026. The third nine holes, known as the Woods Nine originally designed by notable Canadian architect Norman Woods was built in 1954.
As part of the 27 hole renovation project, the massive redesign of the Woods Nine was recently completed by Canadian Architect Riley Johns & Keith Rhebb of Rhebb Johns Golf Course Design.
The redesign features dramatic bunkering and wide fairways with strategic playability and sight lines reminicent of Norman Woods designs back in the day, as well as a large relocated irrigation storage pond.
The new irrigation system design for the Woods Nine utilizes individual sprinklers to separately water the short cut fairways and roughs as well as the green surfaces and surrounds.
The Woods Nine opened for limited member play recently and as you can see form the photos, it looks fantastic - thanks to course superintendent Braydon and his crew and the grow-in crew from Rhebb Johns Golf Design and irrigation contractor Cameron Pittner who also did a great job.
