Elk Ridge Resort

Elk Ridge Resort sits on the edge of the boreal forest north of Prince Albert, in a part of Saskatchewan that most southern visitors only know as the gateway to Prince Albert National Park. The course occupies genuinely wild terrain — mixed spruce and poplar, rolling Canadian Shield topography, and the kind of big northern sky that reminds you how far you are from the prairies. That setting is the whole point: this is destination golf predicated on landscape, not on manicured exclusivity.

The layout plays through and alongside the forest, with tree-lined corridors demanding accuracy off the tee and natural elevation changes that are a genuine surprise to anyone expecting Saskatchewan to be flat. Wildlife sightings — elk, deer, the occasional black bear — are routine enough that the course name earns its keep. The resort itself packages golf with accommodations and outdoor recreation, drawing visitors who want the national park experience alongside their rounds.

The broader Prince Albert region has a modest but loyal golf culture, and Elk Ridge serves as its anchor property — the course you travel north specifically to play.
