Dinosaur Trail G&CC
Some of the most enjoyable golf one can experience is often in unexpected places. And many of those places across Alberta lie in rural areas, where small towns don’t mean small layouts.

Cougar Creek Golf Resort is closer than you think, and worth the drive
By Gord Montgomery, Senior Writer, Inside Golf There are two things you should know about the Cougar Creek Golf Resort as you look to book you next tee time. First of all, it’s not all that far away from Edmonton down the Yellowhead Highway. Secondly, the weather in this part of Parkland County is often quite different from what people see in the urban areas.

The Quarry Edmonton has matured into one great track
By Gord Montgomery – Western Canada Senior Writer, Inside Golf Like a good bottle of wine, The Quarry has aged well. And it’s likely to only get better and matured with time.

Taylor Scinski who has been at The Quarry since the start as the Director of Golf noted since this gem opened, the 27-hole course has matured into an outstanding facility that the public loves. The original…

But, remodelling a golfers hangout can go further than something in the great outdoors, as shown by the Leduc Golf Club.

By Gord Montgomery – Western Canada Senior Writer, Inside Golf Considered as one of the top public golf courses when it opened back in the early 1980s, The Links at Spruce Grove has done nothing to dispel that reputation since then. In fact, it may be getting even better as it grows older. While many golfers shied away from this 18-hole layout early on because of the fear of whacking a shot, or two, into the surrounding residential neighbourhoods, the old growth fir trees that line the majority of the fairways here have largely taken that fear out of play. Of…
