Proving the old adage "appearances can be deceiving," the Melfort Golf and Country Club is a much more difficult golf course than its level and relatively open layout would suggest.

Some of the difficulty can be attributed to an extensive water hazard playing through the centre of the course. However, most golfers experience problems with Melfort's small greens, which are hard to both hit and hold on. Their many deceptive slopes make reading your putts correctly a real challenge.
