In 2017, Wayne Carleton carried out a course renovation that consisted of building new tees, greens, and even re-routing of some holes. The bunkers were completely refurbished and new irrigation was installed throughout the course. It wasn’t only the course that was renovated but the clubhouse as well.

Calgary Golf And Country Club
Calgary Golf and Country Club is one of the hardest country clubs to acquire a membership. There are rumors that the waiting list is somewhere between five and twenty years. We are going to put that aside and focus purely on the quality of this golf course.
Set on 126 acres alongside the Elbow River just south of Calgary, this exclusive golf course offers eighteen holes on a tight heavily treed layout. The original fairway was designed by golf architect Tom Bendelow, however the bunker and green layout has been modified.
This is one fine establishment and if you ever get a chance to play here make sure you take it because there is no finer golf course in Calgary than this one.
