Edmonton Springs Golf Course

This course started out so great at the beginning of summer - but we started to see that the marshalls and older indoor staff treat the teen players so horribly. They assume all teens play and treat the course disrespectfully when it may have just been a few really bad groups that did things they maybe should not have done. The marshalls are on them so hard at times when it isn'teven justified. Yet we have been with and behind many adult and senior groups that have been loud, very slow, drunk, high, rude. Marshals said nothing. Our teen is a very respectful golfer but has been yelled at during a few different rounds for his group playing slowly even though there were groups ahead of them dictating the pace of play. He was yelled at for buying a beverage after the 9th hole before he proceeded to the back 9. They were not holding up the play. Would an adult be talked to like this? His group of players were clearly paying the price for something other young groups had done...but you cannot discriminate against all players of the same age range. Adults would not be treated like my teen's group of friends were being treated. My whole view of this course has been changed. I suggest that they course address the groups/people that caused the problems, like they would do with any adult group - and then treat all of the other players on the course with, at the very least, some respect and kindness. Disappointing.

I started golfing here last year about mid season. After seeing a bunch of negative reviews I figured id give some peace of mind to others reading. I've never recieved anything short of amazing service. From the pro shop employees, managers and so on. Always friendly and accommodating. From last year to now, the course is constantly improving the experience for the golfer. New tee locations recently as they are trying to regrow the old ones, greens are in amazing shape this season.

The heat wave hurt alot of courses for fairways etc, so that's expected unless you're spending big money on the fancier courses. Their prices are fair for what you get, especially the greens this year. Absolute 1000% improvement from last year.

I golf here pretty frequent, as they make you feel welcome and don't harass you or pass any judgement. It's a very fun challenging course after exploring many others, but I'll keep coming back here because you can get a round in pretty cheap if you go twilight etc. This course will only get better as the years go on. Every green fee goes straight back into the course.

Let's also be real, the Marshall's job is to be a character and respond to complaints etc. Any course is slow on weekends you can't escape that. Some people just love to create a fuss.

I always have an absolute blast playing here even when my game is trash. Here's some pics from my round today. I am absolutely addicted to golf this year and springs is my go to course as they've never done me wrong. ( I also live fairly close lol )

Even though it is still early in the season here the course is in much better condition than when we played it at this time last year. The tee boxes are in good condition and cut. The fairways are cut properly, but there is still lots of winter kill and some are still soggy. The greens are generally good with minimal winter damage, freshly cut and quick for this time of year. They have paved most of the cart paths. It is good to see this course getting some t.l.c. as it could be one of the best public tracks in the area if they can keep improving the conditioning,

Not sure what’s going on with the business end of things here but I was told upon arriving at the course that the contract with golf now expired.

Therefore I had to pay at the golf course and get a refund from golf now!

Might want to look into this further before booking online at this course through GN.

Every time I think I’m getting better I play this course and get taken down a few pegs. Yes there are nicer courses in the area but they have been steadily making it look better. This is one of the toughest courses in Alberta and very unforgiving. I only play it a few times a year but always enjoy the challenge. You need to hit long to avoid trouble and keep it in the fairways to have a chance of shooting well. LOTS of water, I’ve played links courses in PEI that have less water hazards.

Worst golf course in Edmonton. Tee boxes are terrible with long grass; fairways are worst. I don’t know which is better, fairways or rough. Greens are horrendous! You have a better chance of chipping than putting. A ghetto for the hackers. Shame on you!

The course was really damaged by the spring freezing, especially the greens. It took months but was back to its usual good shape by August, great now after all the rain. I love this course, am a member of Thursday men's league which is also very cheap, relaxed. This is my go to course in Edmonton.

It's mid May and you'd expect the greens to be ready. They were all brown except 1 hole. They need to make a little more effort to maintain this course. We went to other courses before today and they were ready.

The Course was in rough shape, the greens were patchy and the fairways were brown. If your a skilled golfer it can be frustrating when your putts are bouncing all over the place. Would not go back until the greens a fairways are better.

It was late in the season so this may be justifiable.

The back nine was not available due to the greens being punched. The front nine was extremely slow play as everyone was playing the front nine twice.

Played here for the first time this year. Horrible condition. Brown everywhere, fairways hard as a rock. Greens in poor shape. Will not return or recommend to others, even at $40 w/cart.

This course has been improving a little every season but still has a way to go before it can compete head on with most of the courses in the area. The greens are in the best shape I have seen but many of the fairways and tee boxes are in need of attention. The back nine is the better of the two nines. It is a challenging track that has never quite reached its potential. Even with a GolfNow deal there is better value for money elsewhere in the area. I do applaud the new ownership for their continued work on the course.

It was quite busy with people who don't know rate of play. The beer was also very warm. Friendly and good looking staff.

I've been playing Edmonton Springs since it was 9 holes but have gone away from playing it regularly the past years as it was always poorly maintained. I loved the layout but hated the conditions.
Not so this year.
Ponds and creeks have been trimmed. Tee boxes are still small and uneven but are fuller and cut short. Fairways were cut low and green for the first time in years - #1,2 and 3 are still patchy but the rest are very, very good.. The rough is lower and looks awesome with the stripe pattern they're using. As for the greens - I have never seen them this good. They are consistent and lush but fairly quick too.
It's obvious somebody is finally giving the course the attention it deserves. In my mind, #15 is one of the best par 5s in all of Edmonton. For the past couple years, you could barely see the green it had become so grown in, the tees were dead and the fairway was like pavement. It's a beauty again.
Pace of play was a little slow but I played on a discount day.
They also paved the parking lot. It's rough but it is paved.
If I could suggest one change, it would be to switch the nines. The first three holes are the only bad fairways and those holes are far too difficult for the average/beginner golfer. People would come away with a much better feeling about the place if those holes were in the middle of their round rather than the start. It would help the pace of play, too.
Anyways, I've always wanted this course to succeed, it really is a good design. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the improvements continue.
I'll be playing the Springs on a regular basis again.

Played from the blues and found some of the fairway views narrow, many of the fairways were brown, lots of water, first time playing this course. Close to the city.Now I know where the hidden water is I would definitely play it again. Not a beginners course.

Tough track with plenty of water and trees. I'm play here 5 or 6 times a year off the back tees and course, especially the greens, is in much better shape than previous years. Some of the tee boxes could do with some work to flatten them out, but they are ok. Clubhouse is a little basic. If you are a better and bogey golfer that doesn't want to pay $70 to $100+ for a challenging (good) course, then this is course is for you.

We made the mistake of playing on a Sunday and booked through golfnow. They didn't have Internet access so they had no idea who was and wasn't booked. We had to wait 15 minutes for a cart to be returned so we could start. The front nine took 3 hours. The tee boxes were in horrible shape and it was hard to find a flat one where you weren't standing in a sod crack. There was no Marshall to move things along and there was a golf cart sitting in one of the ponds. This course has really gone downhill while the prices have gone up. We will not be going back.

Good layout.Some holes very picturesque.Greens mostly are very good.Some poor fairways.Numerous second shots over water even an island green.Happy to pay discounted price.Will return after some rain.

some tight driving holes & knowing your yardages is important on some holes as well, pace of play was a little slow but for the value from GolfNow, I played 18 & got a cart for the price of a couple large range buckets, great place to work on your game.
