Breezy Bend Golf & Country Club

In 1937,John “Jack ” S..McMahon purchased Lot 7 from the Herbert Sabine Family estate and began two decades of farming on the property with his wife Nell. He would later add part of Lot 6 (originally John Lonsdale property)and then design a golf course at 7620 Roblin Boulevard.He opened it to the public on June 2,1960,with Lieutenant-Governor Errick Willis teeing off the first ball. What was unique about the course was that it was designed and built without an architect.

McMahon read books,attended courses and figured things out as he went along.Although the intent was to keep the course public,McMahon soon realized this was not possible and the club became private.With a modern clubhouse and pro shop,it continues to operate as one of the better courses in the province.
