This luxurious private golf club in northwest Calgary is home to an 18-hole professional level course that weaves through hillsides, viewpoints, manicured fairways, lawns, and lakes. The club is set next to a planned community designed to house residents interested in living minutes away from the golf course. The club also houses The Overlook restaurant, which is often used for parties, conferences, corporate events, and weddings. The club shop and clubhouse are large, light-filled architectural marvels.
Set in a basin below the ever-expanding South Calgary suburb of McKenzie, McKenzie Meadows Golf Club runs alongside the Bow River and while those famed waters are never in play, there are plenty of ponds on the layout to feed balls. Among the few public access courses in the city, its massive layout was designed to challenge players of all levels but frustrate none of them. Warm up at the driving range or refresh at the clubhouse which is complete with pro shop and lounge.
One of the premier private golf clubs in the city, Bearspaw Country Club is a haven for any golf lover. Located in the northwestern part of the city, surrounded by a serene environment, this club is far from the chaos of the city center, and yet, not too far to make traveling hectic. Spread over 80.9 hectares (200 acres), the club boasts an 18-hole golf course, designed by Bill Newis, which has been the venue of prominent golf tournaments like the Canadian Mid-Amateur Championship.
Situated in the serene river valley of Fish Creek Park, the Blue Devil Golf Club is a lush 18-hole public golf course with plenty of rolling fairways and challenging greens, a clubhouse, and a golf shop. If the 18 holes are a bit too many for a day of playing, the course also offers the Lil' Devil 9-hole short course, a replica of the main course on a smaller scale. The club hosts several leagues for men and women, and also summer golf camps for children and their families.
Located just a few minutes south of Calgary, Heritage Pointe Golf and Country Club is ranked in the Top 25 golf courses in the country.

Players are sent out over two of the three nines, with 18 holes winding through the Pine Creek coulee and another nine built up top the 'Desert Nine'. This is Calgary's most pricey public course, but few golfers mind it as it is totally worth it.
