I golf Vulcan quite a bit. Only 9 as the back 9 sucks.

My favourite course is Fernie, but my parents say the courses around Kimberley are even better

Lloyd G&CC didn't go last year, year before 40 rounds, missed the previous year, 56 rounds the year before.
Apparently this is the year to go again.
I am hoping I have forgotten all my bad habits.
Drumheller would be my favorite so far, too damn hot to play whak-you-know-what in Hawaii. Maybe when I am old.

Jamie,
I've golfed The Ranch, The Links, Northern Bear and Coal Creek (3X). Coal Creek by far has been the best yet. Another couple weeks and I will have my VIP card paid for.

This is soooo true. If you have the time Kimberley is a great trip with so many great courses in one area. We went this spring before everything was open here and loved it.
Shadow Mountain
Wildstone
Bootleg Gap
Trickle Creek
Kimberley G&CC
ST. Eugene
All within about 35 mins of each other and very reasonable prices compared to what you pay to play some of the goat tracks in AB.

Wildstone has a Sunday skins game for $60 includes 18, cart, skins pot and supper.

Check me if I'm wrong, Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they'll lock me up and throw away the key.


Sorry, had to do it!

So they will close all the hiking/walking trails for weeks because someone saw a griz, but the golf course stays open?

People pay to use the course, not to hike/walk

Our 20th annual "Hundred Holes of Hell" tournament at Waterton Golf Course was relocated to Picture Butte. Last year. We'll be going back to Waterton this year. The fairways weren't touched but the landscape around the fairways will be a lot different. Looking forward to it. Love that course.
