St. Charles Custom Club Fitting

The St. Charles Performance Center is the perfect place for you to get fitted for all 14 clubs in your bag. Properly fit golf equipment
will play a significant role in the development of your swing and enhance your performance on the golf course. Utilizing the best
technology in the industry through our fitting process gives us the ability to find the best clubs for your game, without bias to a
particular brand. Fitting and instruction work together; our experience in both give you the opportunity to go through the most
comprehensive fitting program in the province.
We are fortunate to be the regional fitting center for Titleist, while additionally being the primary fitters in Winnipeg for Cobra,
Callaway, Mizuno and TaylorMade. This provides us considerably more options in shafts and heads than other club fitters, making
our program the most comprehensive fitting program of any Club on the prairies. Your entire bag can be fit, from driver to wedges.
Putter fitting is as important as fitting the other 13 clubs in your bag...and we do that as well. St. Charles is one of three EDEL putter
fitters in Canada. The EDEL system uses various putter styles and offset types to find the putter that you aim best. We measure loft,
head weight, shaft flex and counterbalancing to optimize speed control. Optimizing aim and speed control will result in more putts
dropping in the hole. Edel provides our members with a tour level putter fitting experience!

To book a fitting or for more information please contact any of your professional staff.

Junior Golf Program

O ur junior program is designed to provide all ages and skill levels the opportunity to learn and enjoy the game of golf now and
for a lifetime. Juniors can start in our instruction programs as early as age 5 and become members at age 9. We truly believe
that golf can become one of a child’s primary sports. It is a sport that challenges them athletically, while providing an environment
nurturing life skills such as honesty, integrity, responsibility, confidence and sportsmanship.
Our instruction program provides an avenue for beginning players to take their early footsteps into the game and extends all the way
to players who have competitive ambitions locally, provincially and nationally. Our golf events provide our juniors the opportunity
to play in individual and team competitions, while also providing fun events where score is the last thing that matters! In fact, if you
participate in all of our scheduled golf events you will have played over 40 games of golf without ever booking a tee time!
The junior program is an important component to the family atmosphere at St. Charles. We want all of our members to feel welcome
to bring their children to the club and learn the game of golf. Golf is one of the only sports where you can play with your children
and not just watch your children play. Please feel welcome to contact any of our professional staff for more information on our

Family Tee program

As part of our Junior Program, St. Charles is proud to offer a Family Tee program to our membership. The Family Tee program is
designed to encourage our members to introduce their children to the game of golf. This program provides a golf course set up based
on how far our young golfers can hit a golf ball. The course has BLUE and GOLD tees (plates) set into the fairway much like our
150 yard markers. Juniors starting at age 5 and up to age 12 should play these tees based on their skill level.
As part of this program, children of members aged 5 to 8 are now able to use the practice facilities and golf course when
accompanied by their parent. We ask that parents please observe the practice facility and golf course access restrictions as listed

Reciprocal Privileges

St. Charles Country Club is pleased to announce an outstanding membership benefit which will provide Club members with the
ability to golf at a number of private country clubs across Canada without the necessity of a green fee.

In the past, an unofficial reciprocal play agreement existed among the private golf clubs of Canada, whereby, a tee time could usually
be set up with the payment of a green fee. This practice will continue for the vast majority of Clubs.

The following Clubs have agreed to, on a limited basis, provide golfing members of St. Charles Country Club with a tee time on a
complimentary basis – as will St. Charles provide for their members. The intent of these agreements is to permit full active golf
members in good standing to have full playing and clubhouse privileges at the reciprocal club, subject to the respective host club’s
local Rules, Regulations, Dress Code, Policies and Procedures. Guests are permitted with a green fee.
