Associate Golf Professional: Country Hills Golf Club
About Country Hills Golf Club
Country Hills is a private, member-owned golf club and is the only 36-hole facility within Calgary city limits. The Club is 20 minutes from downtown and less than 15 minutes from the airport. The two courses at Country Hills provide distinct and remarkable golf experiences.
The Talons
The first Thomas McBroom design in Alberta features five lakes and the meandering Nose Creek, which adds beauty and intrigue to your shot-making strategies.
The Ridge
In contrast to the rugged appearance of the talons course, the Ridge course, designed by Dave Bennett, offers a more park-like setting with trees and manicured turf as the aesthetic focus. The upper nine presents panoramic views from the cliff tops. The lower nine is influenced by the rising cliffs and Nose Creek that will challenge your game to an incredible finish.
Country Hills Golf Club offers remarkable amenities in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Members find the Club to be a place of choice for both business meetings and social entertaining. Whether it is a round of golf, or dinner and drinks in our clubhouse, we provide Members and their families an extension of their own home. Our active and fun-filled social calendar encourages Members to spend time at the Club and create new relationships. Over the years, the Club has developed a true feeling of camaraderie among its Members and staff.
