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.

Course was okay. On the back nine, housing is along the course. I hit a ball into a back yard with no fence and when I went to retrieve the ball and drop it back on the course, the person started to complain to me for getting my ball from his property. Why would you build on a golf course with no fence if you did not want people retrieving their ball. This put me in a foul mood for the rest of the game and I probably will not return because of him.

Day started off great, but rain came in at the 12th tee and we bolted for the clubhouse. The rain quit 40 minutes later and we were able to go out to the 12th tee and carry on with no problems. Had a good round - 79

Nice course.

This course is like playing 2 different courses. The front 9 is fairly flat and treed. The back 9 is a links style course. The greens are tiny on the front but this makes for a challenge. The back 9'is wide open with rolling fairways and lots of sand. My only complaint was that it was a Holliday Monday. They were fairly busy. It was hot as heck. Especially on the back 9. No beverage cart. We had a couple bottles of water and just made it. A good golf course has a cold beverage for you when you need it.

good improvements from a few years ago

Course is very good to play on. Needs bigger putting green. No chipping area. Driving range is quite far away from club house.

Great food in restaurant and great prices. Bathrooms kept very clean. Friendly staff.

Great course, bad attitude

This course has 2 distinct personalities; the old front nine is beautifully treed with attractive flower beds. The trees are in play on almost every hole. The newer back nine is a wide open prairie experience. The biggest challenges are the sand and water features, and some deep rough.
I have played this course several times, and always enjoy its challenges and the variety of skills needed to score.
The staff are a different matter. They are always abrupt, never very friendly, and even rude. This time, I had booked my tee time through GolfNow, and the reservation clearly included the use of a cart. The person in the pro shop, also a mediocre server in the restaurant/lounge, insisted that it did not, until I produced the e-mail on my phone stating so. She merely grunted, and did not apologize or acknowledge her error.
I say, eat elsewhere and take your own beverages, and make sure you bring documentation for your reservation!
