Alberta Golf Courses
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Golf Courses in Alberta, Canada.
Golfing in Alberta
Golf is an activity that's fueled by not only a competitive streak but a love of nature too, so it's no wonder that Canada—with its abundant wilderness and majestic landscapes—is a prime destination for golfers both avid and amateur. And while all corners of this massive country can boast amazing golfing experiences, it's Alberta that offers the most diverse and dynamic scenery, encompassing rich prairie farmland, dramatic desserts, rolling foothills and thundering mountain ranges within its borders. With nearly 300 golf courses offering a mixture of easy beginner courses and award-winning golf challenges, it's easy to see why Alberta has been attracting golfers from around the world for decades, and its momentum continues to grow.
WHEN TO GO
Summer is Alberta's prime golfing season, with July and August typically offering the most favourable weather conditions. As Alberta covers a large land mass, specific golf season dates vary depending on the region and the course in question, but generally courses open in April or May and close in October. Rain is always a possibility but thankfully it's not quite an inevitability like it is on the coast—the Alberta summer has a tendency to be dry and sunny. Temperatures can reach as high as 35ºC (95ºF), but generally tend to hover around the mid-20s.
THE DETAILS
For avid golfers, golf tours are a great way to make sure all the details are taken care of, from accommodations to equipment to transportation to green fees. But luckily, those who want to go it alone won't have any trouble—most golf courses are located in or near major towns and cities where accommodation options are plentiful. What's more, Alberta's large golf resorts even offer on-course accommodation, not to mention world-class dining and other facilities. As for equipment, visitors are welcome to bring their own, but if that's too much to carry, rentals are almost always available.
