Long Creek Golf & Country Club

Long Creek Golf & Country Club gives couples a Saskatchewan wedding surrounded by the kind of open landscape that seems to make the sky feel bigger.

Set near Avonlea, the course winds through a scenic valley with rolling terrain, native trees and creek ravines, creating a setting that feels wonderfully removed from city life.

Weddings are part of the club's event program, alongside tournaments and corporate gatherings.

That means couples can build the celebration around a property already accustomed to hosting groups, food and special occasions rather than hoping a golf course might make an exception.

The grounds provide an easy backdrop for photographs throughout the day. Fairways, trees and the surrounding valley give couples space to step away from the celebration for a few quiet moments without leaving the property.

Then everyone can gather again for dinner and the evening.

There is something especially beautiful about a prairie wedding as daylight begins to stretch toward sunset. The formal photographs are finished, conversation grows louder around the tables and the landscape outside seems to soften by the minute.

Long Creek is a strong choice for couples who want a traditional celebration with the relaxed feeling of being somewhere surrounded by open space.
