I asked repeatedly that my meal was gluten free and I was told yes each time and had eyes rolled at me. I trusted it and unfortunately, broke out into hives within 10 mins. Definitely not gluten free. Thank goodness, I do not have life threatening condition but it was still a bummer. When I mentioned it to the banquet manager, I was brushed off and told that I must have eaten off of someone else's meal! Really, like I did not know exactly what I had eaten. Would not ever trust a wedding meal there again. The venue was pretty though, especially with nice bistro ceiling lighting all around room and the wood beams.

I got to play this little gem of a course for the first time yesterday. At first, when I came into…read morethe modest looking proshop and picked up the scorecard I was a wee bit disappointed to see the yardage at roughly 5000 yards. Now, I'm no long hitter by any stretch, but from where I'm from, the course yardage doesn't go lower than 6k. To add to my concerns, there was no driving range for practice or warm up. After some inner deliberation with myself I decided to give it a go, with a 'don't knock it til you try it' mantra playing in my head. Plopped the $$ for the green fee and off I went. I was very pleasantly surprised from the very first hole out how beautiful the course was laid out. There were a few slight dog legs here and there, but basically this course is a bomber's paradise; Not that I had the game that day to take advantage of it. What the course lacks in length makes up for long par 3s, water hazards and deceptively hard greens to hit. Fairways were mostly hard and well-manicured; tee boxes were fairly well maintained. That day, there were a group of what appeared like GC officials milling around looking at the course conditions-- always a good sign of the course management. I shot an 83 for a par 69, lets just leave it at that. Overall, I would DEFINITELY want to come back and play this course. Looking from the outside, this doesn't look any different from other courses I've played, but once you step on the first tee, you are sucked into its beautiful layout, and the combination of all the factors I've just mentioned, makes this course one hell of an experience. It's almost like dating a plain looking girl-- she might not look much from the outside, but as you come to know her, and spend time with her you find out: she has A LOT more to offer than you initially thought.

My son (age 46) and I (age 75) visited Aikens Lake Wilderness Lodge for the second time this past…read moreweek. This is my 33rd fishing trip to Manitoba and 18th lodge visited. We were the first group in for this season. Other than being very cold and rainy it was a great trip. Nothing has changed since our first visit in 2019. In my opinion this is the best overall lodge in Manitoba. There are so many different ways that this lodge is superior to others but let me try and highlight a few. Let's start with the booking process. Pit, the owner and General Manager, appears to sit at his computer 24 hours a day. When you contact him, you get an almost immediate response. His communication is clear and to the point. When you book you get a provisional slot hold until you make your deposit. You can send in a check or use a credit card. Once you book his wife, Julie, takes over and contacts you about any special requests you may have. If you have any special dietary requests, booze orders or the like she makes sure it happens. Next are the lodge facilities. The cabins are immaculate and appear brand new. Ours had two bedrooms each with a mini split heater and AC and a living room with a fireplace. There was also a screened in porch. A short walk to the main lodge itself which houses the dining room and "Big Mollys Bar". The bar is unusual in that it includes a happy hour before dinner where the drinks are free. At most lodges I have fished the groups tend to keep to themselves. One impact of the happy hour is that most groups become very friendly. Secret spots and lures are shared freely and you make new friends. We have already made contact we people we met at the lodge and are making plans to met again next year. On to the food. Most lodges have a fixed breakfast. At Aikens you can order whatever you want for breakfast. I had asked Julie to have some hot peppers for my omelet and they sure were hot! The shore lunches were also unique. The lodge has prepared several sites throughout the lake with picnic benches, metal roofing to protect from the rain, propane cook tops and chopped wood for the open firs. This not only keeps you dry and comfortable but dramatically reduced the food preparation and cooking time. The lunches themselves are not just the old fried fish but included different variety of batters and baked fish. Dinner at the lodge was also special every night. Julie cooked for us a few nights and she is the best chef in Canada. One night we had a pork chop that must have been 2 inched thick but was still moist and tender. Steak night riveled any steak house in Winnipeg, The staff were also exceptional. Pit, Julie and Patrick are all co-owners and unlike many other lodges are on site. This ensures that if any issues arise, they are dealt with quickly and properly, They have hired a great group of young ladies to work the dining room and cabins. They are friendly and hard working. The guides are also good. They tend to hire young men in college who work there for4 to 6 years so you always have an experienced guide who knows the lake in your group. The newer ones receive formal training from Pit and Pat and also learn from the more experienced guides. The fishing is also good. The boats are newer 18-foot Lunds powered by 60HP Yamaha motors. They have very comfortable cushioned chairs, depth finders, live wells and trolling motors. Most lodges have. 16-foot boats and 20 or 30HP engines, benches and no electronics You can really cover a lot of ground quickly with these 60 HP motors! It was very cold (low 40's) and rainy during our trip which impacted the fishing. However we still managed to catch several pike on the low 40s and had an afternoon during which we caught walleye over 22 inches for 3 hours straight. I made the "century club" by catching 4 walleyes totaling over 100 inches in the same day. We can't wait to return next year!
