Breezy Bend Country Club is an 18-hole private golf course just west of the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. The course was opened in 1960 and was designed by Jack McMahon, who built the golf course on his own farm land.[1][2]
Breezy Bend Country Club has hosted the Manitoba Open, having hosted the championship in 1969, 1975, 1981, 1991, 1992, 1993, and 2025. The course is among 5 courses in the province that now host the professional tournament on a rotation.[3]
Upon its opening in 1960, Breezy Bend was initially a public golf course charging $1.50 per round, or $30 for a season pass to play at the 18-hole course. The following year, McMahon received bids to sell the rest of his property surrounding the golf course for housing development and to turn the course into a private escape for wealthy Winnipeggers just outside the city. By 1969 professional golf arrived at Breezy Bend as the club hosted its fist Manitoba Open.[4][5]
By 1972, golf course architect Geoffrey S. Cornish surveyed the course and proposed a long-range plan for the development of Breezy Bend into the general shape the course is today, with only minor renovations to holes 12 and 14 and the t boxes near the new clubhouse built in 2008.[6]
During the clubs construction and redevelopments, several Indigenous artifacts have been found on the grounds.[7]
