I played Aberdeen Country Club on 6-1-10, as part of a tournament.
Aberdeen Country Club is not too tough, but there are plenty of challenges (note the water comment from the earlier rater). Conditions when I played were not good, especially on the greens, which were lumpy and bumpy with MANY semi-bare spots. We routinely saw putts change direction every few inches along the way to the vicinity of the hole. Course is well-marked, so no excuse for the wrong club...although the sea level air is much heavier than I, for one, am accustomed to. Take at least one extra club on almost every shot.
Aberdeen is a nice neighborhood course, but not one that I'd put on the top of my list for a golf trip to a resort area. Staff is very nice, and most helpful.
If you are vacationing in MB, and need a down day, you might try this course.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area
