Course Highlights
The contrasting layout — a tight, tree-lined front nine paired with a links-style back nine — consistently draws praise from visiting golfers. Exceptionally friendly staff and impressive course conditions make this Southern Alberta gem a strong value for the drive.

Vulcan Golf & Country Club sits on the outskirts of the town. The layout sprawls across gently rolling terrain accented with stands of mature trees. The course measures to just over 6,300 yards from the back tees. It's gentle enough for beginners but also great for more advanced players who are looking for a casual round that can be played in less than four hours. The golf course starts with a gentle front nine with water only coming into play twice. Don't be lulled into a sense of comfort though, the course becomes progressively more difficult, culminating with the signature 18th hole. Water appears again on six holes on Vulcan's back nine, including on the final par-3 hole. Water borders the entire left side and there are also a slew of bunkers protecting the large green.

Very windy but had a 3 hour round

Weather was not good but had a good round. Grass on front nine is cut pretty short, not sure why. Grass on back nine still great.

Front nine very slow

As per usual, got behind a 4 some of older gentlemen. Very, very slow. Would not let anyone through, by the end of the first 9, backed up about 4 groups. Took a par on 10, and just went past them. Never saw another golfer for the back nine, it was wonderful. Have to do something about these older golfers letting people through

Pretty slow

Just can't seem to get through a round without waiting at each tee box. This time, man and his grandson. Front nine, no one in front of them, no one behind us, and nope, wouldn't let us play through? Then on the back nine, there was all sorts of groups in front of us??? Maybe they sent people off the back nine?

Good weather, good course

Pace was better than the last 3 rounds. First 5 holes were awesome, then hit a wall. Course was just busy, there were groups in front of us, no break. Beautiful day so no problem.

Layout

Great layout with the front 9 as traditional and the back 9 as links. Very tricky if it's windy as the fairways are undulating and sloped. Fast, sloped and firm makes things interesting.

The only reason for not giving an excellent is poor signage from 9 green to the 10th. Got lost!!

Pretty slow

I'm sure the starter didn't know this but there was a 5 some in front of us. Guess what, they were pretty slow! Had a marshal go by, had to see that they were a 5 some, and did absolutely nothing. Got past them at 9 but they continued behind us.

Slow again

Staff is great, couldn't be better. But this is the second game in a row that the back nine took forever to complete. Last round it was a 4-some that would not let anyone past them (we are a twosome). Today, a 2 some was so slow, ended up 4 groups behind them. They need a marshal to address this.
