Athabasca Golf and Country Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Athabasca Golf Club originally opened as a nine-hole course in 1963 but expanded to a full 18 holes in 1995. The same designer who added the new nine, Sid Puddicombe, came back again for a $1.8 million renovation that earned it the title of being the fourth most difficult golf course in Canada. The layout is as scenic as it is challenging. The natural beauty of the Athabasca River Valley surrounds you as you play and you may even be joined by some of the many animals that call the golf course home, including fox, moose, and deer. The occasional bear has even been spotted at Athabasca Golf Club. The stretch that begins with the signature par-3 14th to the final dogleg hole is a tough set of holes that will test even the best golfers.

Nice design
It is a great layout, love all the trees, feels like you're in the mountains at times. Greens were an average speed with a few showing some scars from a rough winter I suspect.
Great Course
First time playing Athabasca. Very challenging, pace of play was good, very scenic. Would highly recommend.
Worth the Drive.....Great Course
Beautiful setting along the Athabasca river. Course is in great condition, staff are great!! Though caught in the rain, enjoyed everything about the game. Will definitely be returning. The course is not set up with GPS,.
Worth the drive
This is a scenic course along the banks of the Athabasca River. The course was in good condition, although a few of the greens are still a little spotty. There are some interesting holes and we hope to be able to return later in the season.
Course was in VG condition with the signature hole always a pleasure to play from elevated tees and super view.
The course was a pleasure to play,however,one par three was unplayable which they compensated for by playing an extra par three on the course.
