Gilbert Plains Golf Course Flooded | Winnipeg News

Description

Gilbert Plains Country Club is closed for the season after catastrophic flooding—over eight inches of rain turned the course into a river, submerging the clubhouse and forcing staff to fish golf carts out of the water. With a $100K insurance deductible to cover and tournaments lost, the club’s future hangs in the balance. But the community’s rallying cry is loud: neighbors are offering discounted greens, locals are donating, and a 50/50 raffle has already raised $16K. Staff—many young folks seeking summer jobs—are still employed as they rebuild toward reopening by May 1st. It’s a story of devastation, grit, and hope.
