Located less than a half hour north of Cochrane, Water Valley Golf & Country Club, as its name implies, is nestled in a scenic valley tucked away among scenic hills. The woodland layout features stands of poplar and spruce trees as well as lush and abundant vegetation along the fairways, which gives them a completely secluded feel. The golf course originally opened in 1988 with only nine holes but expanded to a full 18-holes just a few years later in 1994. There have been several renovations to Water Valley Golf & C.C. since it first opened including widening of the fairways and completely rebuilt greens on three of the holes on the back nine. The new nine forms the front and wraps around the original nine holes. It has more sand and water than the original, which means you'll catch a break on the back nine.

A few rough spots, marshall wasn't very friendly.....

Overall, the course was in good shape. A couple of greens were less than stellar. Booked 3 at first then booked the 4th later on through Golfnow phone support. Golfnow called the course to verify that the 4th was still available and was told it was. When we got there, they tried to tell us that they have had trouble with Golfnow and had booked someone else in with us. Anyway, they made it work and we got to go off with 4 on time. The marshall came around a couple times and didn't say a word or crack a smile or anything. The staff at my private club are way more friendly to guests than this rural course. I just don't think that they like 'big city' folks coming out to their course......

Great shape!!! FAAAAST GREENS!

The course is in amazing shape this year, green everywhere. Only complaint is that the marshal left at about 4 pm and there were a couple of slow groups and the halfway house and snack shack were all closed pretty early but we did tee off closer to 5 pm. This place is such a hidden gems and the greens are like playing on pool tables but I like fast greens! Love playing here.

Wonderful Day

I have been meaning to get out this way for a long time. And it exceeded my expectations. What a beautiul terrian to drop a golf course on. Course Management was required and one of the people I was paired with had played there before so that was a bonus.
A wonderful day.

Great course if I had been able to play.

Great course. Unfortunately got rained out on August 8th and can't contact golf now. It was a good deal but not even at the price paid when can't play. Guess better only book using golf now if no rain in forecast. Very disappointed.
