About Country Hills Golf Club 

Country Hills Golf Club is the only 36-hole facility within Calgary city limits and is only 20 minutes from downtown and less than 15 minutes from the airport. The Club is easily accessible by way of Beddington Trail, Country Hills Boulevard, and Stoney Trail. Country Hills is a private, member-owned golf club. The two courses at Country Hills provide distinct and exciting 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.
