As the leaves turn and golf courses across the country begin preparing for winter, we mark the end of the “active posting season” for many Canadian golfers. Under the Golf Canada Handicapping system, an active season is the period during which scores from rounds played on regional courses may be submitted for a golfer’s Handicap Index® and officially count.

In practical terms, this means that for provinces such as Ontario and Quebec, the active posting window typically runs from about April 15 to October 31.

With that window now closing, golfers at clubs across Canada must shift their thinking. Here’s what this seasonal change means—and what to keep in mind as the clubs wind down for winter.

Why an active/inactive season matters:

The rationale behind the delineation is simple: golf courses in the off-months often play under very different conditions—frost-hardened fairways, slower greens, shorter roll-out, tree leaf fall, wet spots—that diverge significantly from the “mid-season” conditions assumed when course ratings and slope ratings were set. Allowing scores from such conditions to count would risk distorting players’ handicap indexes—either inflating or deflating them unfairly.

For that reason, rounds played on courses that are in their inactive season will still be recorded (in many cases) but won’t be included in handicap calculations. This ensures a fairer reflection of a golfer’s ability under more typical playing conditions.

What golfers should do now:

With the active posting season ending in many regions, now’s the time to make sure all your rounds played during the window are posted if you haven’t already. Since every player is responsible for submitting acceptable scores during the active season, missing a late-season round could leave your record incomplete.

If you plan to travel to warmer climates or play somewhere with a year-round active season (for example some clubs in British Columbia or in the southern U.S.), those rounds can still be submitted—provided the host course is in its active season. So even as your home club closes out, your golf doesn’t necessarily have to stop.

What changes for your game and club?

From the club’s side, this time of year often signals the winding-down phase—fewer tournaments, course maintenance ramps up, tees and greens may be adjusted for winter conditions, and the pace of play may shift. For players, the focus may turn from competitive rounds to skillrefinement: indoor putting, swing work, lessons, or planning for next season.

Also, with posted rounds now finalised for the year, your Handicap Index® heading into winter is set. That gives you a baseline to work from for next season. During the “inactive” period you might still play—it’s just that those rounds typically won’t contribute to the index, so they serve more as practice or fun rather than ranking rounds.

Looking ahead to next season

With the active season behind us, it’s a good moment for reflection: review your stats for the year, set goals for next year (e.g., stroke reduction, improved short game, more fairways hit), and perhaps identify indoor or offseason training opportunities. Many clubs open lessons, simulator access or special winter programs precisely because the outdoor competitive calendar is winding down.

In short: the close of the active posting season isn’t the end of your golfseason life—it’s just the signal that for handicapping and official scoretracking purposes, the “clock” has been paused. Use the next months wisely: maintain your swing, play off-course golf, stay “dialled” so when Spring 2026 rolls around—you’re ready to hit the ground running.

It’s been several years since two Saskatchewan student-athletes have competed in the same women’s collegiate event, until this week.

Chloe Wills and Sarah Henderson were both in the field in Caseyville, Illinois for the McKendree Bearcats Dual Gender Invitational on Oct. 20 and 21. Playing at Far Oaks Golf Club, both players put up excellent results. Wills shot 81, 77, and 79 over the 54 holes leaving her in a tie for 10^th place. Henderson also had a great showing placing tied for 14^th. She carded rounds of 81, 83, and 75.

Henderson and her Lewis teammates won the team competition at the event, the Drury Panthers and Wills were sixth overall.

It’s believed that this is the first time since 1991 that two women from Saskatchewan competed at the college level since Kathy Ziglo and Kim Brozer were in the LSU Invitational together.

Both Wills and Henderson have concluded their first fall seasons and will be off until the new year.

Yorkton’s Ella Kozak was able to conclude her first season at the University of Idaho with a trip to Hawaii. The Vandals just wrapped up the Rainbow Wahine Invitational at Hokuala Golf Club in Lihue. Kozak shot 79, 80 and 77 in three rounds finishing in 99^th place.

The Vandals were 19^th as a team.

Regina’s Adam Husli has also wrapped up his fall season at the University of Providence. The Spartans were in Lewiston, Idaho on Oct. 20 and 21 for the LC State Invite. Playing 36 holes at Lewiston Golf and Country Club, Husli shot rounds of 80 and 78 tying for 34^th overall.

Providence was eighth as a team.

The Southern Arkansas University (SAU) Muleriders fall season continued in Afton, Oklahoma on Oct. 20 and 21. Regina’s Luke Cote and Saskatoon product Carter Bell were at Shangri La Golf Resort playing in the MSSU Fall Invite. Cote led the team tying for 16^th. The reigning Saskatchewan amateur champ shot 75, 73, and 74 over three rounds. Bell posted scores of 78, 74, and 77, he was tied for 42^nd overall.

The Muleriders were 11^th out of 18 schools at the tournament. SAU travels to Rockwall, Texas for the DBU Classic on Oct. 27 and 28 to close their season.

Waskesiu Golf Course junior graduates Alex Swinnerton and Guillermo Salazar put on a show for the Indianna University of Pennsylvania Crimson Hawks this week. In Lebanon, Pennsylvania at the Iron Valley Golf Club on Oct. 20 and 21, Salazar was awarded second in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Championship due to darkness. After shooting rounds of 72, 73, and 74, the Calgary product competed in a six hole playoff. Neither player got an advantage and due to darkness Eli Ropietski of Pitt-Johnson was awarded the win due to retrogression.

Swinnerton moved up five spots on the leaderboard in the final round thanks to a 72 in round three. Along with his 74 and 75 in the first rounds, the Saskatoon native ended tied for fifth place.

The Crimson Hawks ended up fourth as a team concluding their fall season.

Chase Pochylko’s fall season is also over. The Nicholls State University Colonels played the LaTour Intercollegiate at LaTour Golf Club on Oct. 20 and 21. Pochylko carded rounds of 77, 78, and 79 to place 69^th.

The Colonels ‘A’ team which had Pochylko was seventh out of 15 schools at the event.

University of Regina competes in first Can-West Championship

The University of Regina golf team competed in their first USports Canada-West Championships this week at Chilliwack Golf Club.

Launched in 2023, the Cougars have competed in limited events but have built their program and expanded the roster including a women’s team. The ladies didn’t compete in Chilliwack on Oct. 20 and 21, but Micah Tangjerd (Saskatoon), Jackson Wingert (Saskatoon), Reece Kuski (Gray), Jordan Heller (Regina), and Carter Bell (Regina) were all in the field.

Tangjerd led the team placing 22^nd with rounds of 76 and 70. Kuski was 151 (73, 78) in 33rd, Wingert shot 79 and 76, good enough for 37^th, Heller was 40^th at 161 (81, 80) and Bell was 45^th at 170 (82, 88).

The Cougars were eighth overall in their Can West debut.

Another dozen players are scheduled to participate in events next week.

Dear Golf Canada Members & Clubs,

With another remarkable golf season winding down, I want to share my heartfelt thanks to our 360,000 members and more than 1,550 member clubs for making 2025 such an extraordinary year for golf in Canada.

Golf’s popularity here and around the world continues to reach new heights, including multi-year successive growth in rounds played. A record number of scores are being tracked through the Golf Canada Score Centre — a reflection of the vitality of our game and the enthusiasm of Canadian golfers. Scores posted to date are up 6% from last year’s record-setting result (11M+ scores) and up an incredible 54% over pre-pandemic levels in 2019. The sport’s continued rise in participation speaks volumes about the engaging environment presented by our member clubs and the passion of golfers who invite others to share in the game.

And the future looks even brighter. The sport is seeing a wave of new enthusiasts of all ages. Programs such as First Tee – Canada have inspired more than 200,000 young people in chapters across the country, helping to shape the next generation of golfers. The expansion of She Plays Golf is also engaging more women and girls across a series of fun and inviting festival golf experiences.  

Canadian athletes have given us plenty to cheer about on the world stage. What an outstanding year for Aphrodite Deng, the Calgary-born 15-year-old who became the first Canadian ever to win the U.S. Junior Girls Championship and then finished T20 at the CPKC Women’s Open in August. We’ve seen stellar performances by rising talents such as Sudarshan Yellamaraju – a 24-year old who just qualified for his PGA Tour card – Myles Creighton, Anna Huang and others, reflecting the talent and growing reputation of Canadian golf around the globe. Nick Taylor’s win at the 2025 Sony Open reminds us that Canadian depth on the PGA TOUR continues to impress, and of course, no player captivated us more than 14-time LPGA Tour winner Brooke Henderson, whose victory at the CPKC Women’s Open – her second victory at the event – furthers her standing as one of this country’s all-time great athletes.

Both the RBC Canadian Open in its first-ever visit to TPC Toronto and the CPKC Women’s Open at Mississaugua Golf and Country Club delivered incredible moments, showcasing top international fields, emerging Canadian talents and passionate Canadian golf fans. These championships, along with our national amateur competitions, are made possible through the unwavering support of our host clubs and the tireless contributions of volunteers — the true heartbeat of our sport. To those thousands of volunteers who give back to the game at their club, in the community or in support of golf championships nationwide, your wonderful contributions to the game are immeasurable.

I also want to recognize the invaluable partnership of our Provincial Golf Associations and the many national golf organizations who share in the leadership and advancement of the sport across the country. Together, we are building a stronger, more inclusive golf community. Our gratitude also extends to Golf Canada’s corporate partners along with the donors and trustees of the Golf Canada Foundation, whose generous support is elevating investment in the game and creating meaningful impact at every level. Thanks to the continued support of the membership and our multitude of partners, Golf Canada is well positioned for continued investment into the growth of the sport.

Thank you again to our members and member clubs for being the driving force behind golf’s continued success in this country. Your passion for the game and support of Golf Canada make everything we do possible.

With sincere appreciation,

Adam Daifallah
President
Golf Canada

Why fall golf is the best golf

There’s something about fall golf that feels almost poetic. The air turns crisp, the crowds thin out, and the course itself seems calmer — as if it’s exhaling after a long, hot summer. Ask seasoned golfers and many will tell you: fall is the secret sweet spot of the season. Here’s why golf in fall isn’t just good — it’s the best there is.

1. Perfect weather for pure focus

Gone are the sweltering afternoons and sunburnt shoulders. Fall brings ideal playing conditions — cool, comfortable air and lower humidity that make walking 18 holes a pleasure rather than a grind. The crisp mornings sharpen your senses, and that slight chill gives your swing an extra spark of energy. You can focus more on your game and less on battling the heat.

2. Nature’s backdrop at its best

Few sports give you a front-row seat to nature quite like golf, and fall turns every round into a moving postcard. Golden fairways, deep red maples, amber roughs — it’s sensory bliss. Even a mediocre round feels elevated when you’re surrounded by scenery worthy of a magazine cover. The early morning mist rising off the fairway? That’s the kind of thing you remember all winter.

3. Courses are quieter — and cheaper

When summer ends, many casual players pack up their clubs, which means fewer tee-time battles and more peaceful rounds. You can often find premium tee times at reduced rates, and many top courses offer fall deals before closing for winter maintenance. Fewer crowds mean less waiting, faster play and a rhythm that feels as natural as the season itself.

4. The ball just feels better

There’s something about fall air — the dense, dry feel makes solid contact even more satisfying. Sure, the ball might not travel quite as far in cooler temperatures, but that’s part of the charm. You’re forced to think, to adjust, to truly play golf. The turf tends to be softer too, giving your irons that perfect, crisp sound. Fall golf rewards feel over force, precision over power.

5. A season for reflection

Golf and reflection go hand in hand, and fall is the sport’s most introspective season. Each round feels like a quiet nod to the year behind you — a chance to appreciate progress, savour moments and close out the season on your own terms. There’s a rhythm to it: the crunch of leaves underfoot, the slower pace, the long shadows on the 17th fairway. It’s golf stripped to its essence — simple, serene and deeply satisfying.

6. The clubhouse vibe hits differently

When the last putt drops, there’s nothing better than heading inside for something warm — chilli, cider or a post-round pint by the fire. Fall golf extends beyond the course; it’s about community and comfort. The conversations last longer. The laughs come easier. It’s the part of the game that reminds you why you love it in the first place.

In the end, it’s golf at its purest

Fall golf doesn’t need fanfare or flashy tournaments. It’s about peace, precision and perspective. Whether you’re chasing one last personal best or soaking in the scenery before the frost arrives, this is golf in its most honest form — quiet, beautiful and full of heart.

So pack an extra layer, grab a hot coffee and head for the first tee. Fall is calling — and it’s playing your favourite course in perfect light.
