Ptarmigan Ridge Golf Course

Located next to Norman Wells’ Heritage Hotel, by the banks of the Mackenzie River, here is the only golfing to be found in the Sahtu. The grassy, evergreen-lined Ptarmigan Ridge course is a green oasis, and a bucket-list item to be sure for any golfers looking for an experience off-the-beaten-path. Just be careful with your swing. Ptarmigan Ridge’s modest four holes — soon to be expanded to six — should not be taken lightly. The wrong slice and your ball could sail right into the mighty Mackenzie.
