4540 Portage Avenue
John Blumberg was designed by renowned golf course architect C.E. 'Robbie' Robinson, and has been host to the CPGA, Manitoba Junior Golf championships and the 1998 Manitoba Open. The Emerald Course's 14th hole is probably John Blumberg's most intimidating. This 472 yard par 5 follows the river, making its entire right side a watery placement for any errant golf ball. As well, the slender green on this hole has a distinct slope towards the water, increasing the level of difficulty to the golfer. John Blumberg offers the added convenience of a roving beverage cart on the course &

FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing 9-hole and what to expect.
Players often find 9-hole technically exacting. This slope level makes it manageable compared to championship venues. The course rating of 70 reflects on scoring relative to par 34.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6000 yards. The back tees extend to 6500 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 70 and par 34, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 34 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
Stretching to 6500 yards from the back tees, it does not overwhelm length but rewards accuracy.
The course follows a traditional Parkland design philosophy. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
The combination of a slope rating of 120 and yardage reaching 6500 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
