This course is notable for hosting the annual Canadian North Midnight Golf Classic, which starts each June 21 at 11:59 PM and runs through the early-morning twilight hours. The 2009 edition began with a ceremonial tee-shot by Nashville Predators forward Jordin Tootoo, who grew up in (relatively nearby) Rankin Inlet, Nunavut.

This was originally a 9-hole course designed by Sandy Scott and John Anderson-Thomson in 1948. Arnold Enge redesigned the course for 18 holes with artificial turf greens in 2000.
