The Melfort Golf & Country Club is a much more difficult golf course than its level and relatively open layout would suggest. Even though Melfort has existed since 1947, its official course record stands at only 68 - a testament to how challenging it really is. 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.
