River Spirit Alberta

Beautiful course and scenery, wind was gusting pretty hard the day we played but it was windy everywhere. We all really enjoyed the course, staff were very friendly and a very nice view of the mountains.

River spirit review

Golf now is a great app, but you should always call the course first and see what the green fee is before booking. I booked on golf now last week to play this course, and ended up paying $15 more than what the course was charging that day. My own fault, but something to be aware of.

Nice course, confusion with golfnow booking

Had played it a few times, they have 27 holes, a nice course, went out in the evening the last two times, enjoyed it, this time had booked through golfnow, however the rate advertised by golfnow wasn't recognised for whatever reason, I don't know. there is an issue there, it should have been 25 dollars less in total for the two of us, lessened the experience but still good

First Time Playing

At Last - A Wolf Creek near Calgary !

I play over 100 rounds a year and am a single-digit handicapper. I've played Pebble, St Andrews, and the Wolf Creek courses in both Alberta and Mesquite NV. This was my first time playing this course (from the tips) and.... WAS I EVER SURPRISED ! I started on the Spirit 9 and when I stepped up to #3 I immediately thought of Lacombe Alberta's Wolf Creek Old Course. An elevated tee shot past trees down to a small dogleg...... what a beauty! After the Spirit 9, I played the Millburn 9 and was fully challenged by the tighter greens and tee shots. Again, once you get to Millburn #3 you are 'back to Wolf Old Course'. What a thoroughly enjoyable round. On the upper holes - views of the mountains; on the valley holes - challenging tee shots and must-think approach shots. It's a 40 minute drive from my place and is worth the trip. Winter is now upon us but I will be back to Spirit River next spring. T-Rex

Needed to golf

Needed to golf and I found this tee time spontaneously on golf now and desided to give it a go. The course was in very good shape except for the elevated tee box on the par 3 which could use a lot of work. The rest of the course gets 2 thumbs up I recommend you give it a try it was worth the money.

Way overpriced/horrible condition

This course used to be immaculate a few years ago, it was one of my favorites in Calgary. Now ever since the big flood a few years ago the quality of the course has drastically diminished, however the green fees have gone up.

The course is in such bad shape there is not a green that rolls true, some tee boxes are completely sand filled so it feels like you are teeing off from a bunker, the fairways are patchy.

They also do not know how to manage a course properly as we got stuck behind a group of 5, I mentioned this to the pro shop after 9 and they did nothing about it, in fact the young boy at the counter didn't undestand why I was objecting to there being a group of 5 on the course.

Avoid this course! It is a big waste of money! There are way better courses in around Calgary for the same or less money... D'arcy Ranch, Scirocco, Springbank Links to name a few.
