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.

if not for the long drive from Calgary, great course,

front 9 great layout, tough to walk due to tees box setup long but carting was good. Back 9 newer with not much for hazards and not complaining. 40 bucks including cart was good bang for your dollar compared to Calgary city courses that charge over 80. Over an hour drive from Calgary makes a difference as well. On a Saturday we finished the course in less than 3 hours but it wasn't too busy.

Greens quite slow

Pace of play was pretty good because 2 foursomes let us play through, very thoughtful. On the negative side, by 15 we caught up to a 5 some and they made us wait. Why they would let a 5 some out is beyond me? The fairways still have winter kill but not as bad as 2 weeks ago, so they are making progress. Greens are terribly slow and sooner or later that must be addressed.

Decent course for the monry

Front 9 was scenic and more challenging. Back 9 is very new and in development. For the price, it was worth a couple rounds.

Winter has been tough on this course

Lots of winter kill on the fairways and some on the greens. I'm assuming they haven't cut the greens yet because they were slower than slow. They are working on the course right now so hopefully it comes back but right now a little rough.

Walked

Nice course, greens and fairways were a little touchy as they had a bad winter. Positive that they will improve and it will be a beautiful course to play. There is a few holes on the back nine that were a little far apart for myself who was walking but my partner had a cart so I just hopped on and got a ride.

2 courses in one

This course makes you pay attention on the front nine it's the original 9 with mature trees were the back let you let it out as it doesn't have many trees as of yet so we found it a fun course with 2 separate 9 's would recommend to all give it a try the staff is very friendly & the prices are decent.

So windy!

Course was in good shape, and went around under 3 hours, so pace was excellent. However, very windy (and thus probably why we only encountered one other couple who let us play through right away).

Greens have been fixed

Last time we played this course, greens were quite slow. Not this time, they've fixed them and they are in good shape (with exception of #9 which was slower than the rest). Went around with no delays, great round.

Beam Me Up

A nice 18 hole track with mature trees on the front nine with tight fairways for the most part. Back nine is a typical housing development but you never feel crowded by the homes. Good fun for sure . . . .

Greens quite slow

Course was being watered and it needed it, but overall pretty good shape. Greens were very slow, need to be sped up.
