Alberta Golf Destinations

  • Edmonton

    Alberta's capital city is best known for West Edmonton Mall, the largest shopping centre in North America. At 5.3 million square feet square feet, "The Mall" -- as its simply known around these parts -- is home to more than 800 stores, about 100 restaurants and watering holes, a pair of movie theaters, two hotels, an amusement park, a waterslide park, a shooting range, a sea-lion show and an underground aquarium.

    Located on the northern bank of the North Saskatchewan River, Raven Crest Golf & Country Club sprawls across a beautiful landscape that offers stunning views. Raven Crest is part of the group of four Country Club Tour Courses. The golf course features a diverse mix of holes, ranging from narrow and tree-lined to open, links-style holes.
    Montgomery Glen Golf & Country Club is part of the Country Club Tour courses, a group of four Edmonton-area golf courses. A CCT membership lets you play on all four. Montgomery Glen has level, open fairways that give the course a seemingly mild look but don't be fooled, water, and trees were liberally incorporated into the design.
    The Sturgeon River runs alongside Sandpiper Country Club, which sits on the outskirts of Alberta. The river warns you of the challenges to come on this 18-hole layout. The golf course features water on all but one hole and they're not the only hazards you'll come across. Strategically placed bunkers lurk along many of the greensides and fairways.
  • Calgary

    Alberta's largest city is famous for the Calgary Stampede, a medley of midway rides, rodeo, country music and line-dancing, beer-drinking bashes. Ironically, the 10 days of what's called the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth each July might be the easiest time to score a tee-time in the Stampede City because everybody else has temporarily gone Wild West. In 2011, CNN listed the Stampede, which attracts 250,000 visitors a year, as one of the top five parties in the world.
