Nice course

Nice par 3 course. A number of holes require carries over water that can be challenging for beginner golfers

Course designed to help keep balls in play

Course Rough sloped inward to direct errant balls back towards fairways. Makes course very forgiving for weekend warriors who may not be as accurate on all shots. Would definitely recommend

Good course for a beginner except for some forced carries over water

My wife is a beginner golfer and she found the forced carries over water daunting. Also that there was no 9 hole option for play. She was done by about the 13 th hole so she just walked the rest of the way in.
I found it great for practicing my short game Would have rated it as a 5 except for those few issues for the beginner golfer.
Would play it again

Nice course

Tee boxes were nice. Greens were very consistent. Fairways were good. But the greens were hard and dry so with the windy conditions it was hard to get approach shots to stick.

Great course. But gale force winds made it tough

The course conditions were great and the staff were friendlye but the extremely windy conditions made the course very difficult to play. It is located in the middle of the desert so no wind breaks around to buffer the 40-50 mph wind gusts we experienced. I would like to play this course again under better weather conditions.

Good weather
Used cart

Beautiful setting

Very country club feel. used to be private, nice fairways and greens. excellent service staff. Only problem I had was that they sloped all the fairways towards the water hazards. No way to stop a slightly errant shot from rolling in because the fairways were cut short all the way down to the water. Excellent deal through golf now

Great value for the money

Got a Golf Now Hot Deal for this course which included cart which is why we booked it. A real gem along the Alberta Foothills. Course is fairly tight with lots of trees lining the fairways so bring your straight ball before your long ball. We had lightning and rain the day we played and the course marshal came around several times to make sure everyone was OK. If you live in NW Calgary, well worth the drive. A long way for us in the South though.

Tons of mosquitos

The course is located around lots of sloughs with standing water, and they have a ton of mosquitos right now which made it almost impossible to putt on the greens because you would get swarmed. Not sure if they sprayed to reduce the hatchings. The course itself is pretty straight forward. Except that there was a lack of cart paths between some holes. (#9 not well marked). Didn't like the layout of certain holes, in particular the 18th. Would have liked more of a groomed bailout zone before the hazard, especially when the wind made carrying the hazard difficult.
