Water Valley Golf and Country Club

About
Located less than a half hour north of Cochrane, Water Valley Golf & Country Club, as its name implies, is nestled in a scenic valley tucked away among scenic hills. The woodland layout features stands of poplar and spruce trees as well as lush and abundant vegetation along the fairways, which gives them a completely secluded feel. The golf course originally opened in 1988 with only nine holes but expanded to a full 18-holes just a few years later in 1994. There have been several renovations to Water Valley Golf & C.C. since it first opened including widening of the fairways and completely rebuilt greens on three of the holes on the back nine. The new nine forms the front and wraps around the original nine holes. It has more sand and water than the original, which means you'll catch a break on the back nine.

Water Valley - Great course
Only complaint, sandwich shack and hot dog stand both closed just minutes before we reached them.
Great Rolling Hills Scenic Course
Great course layout, lots of vertical challenge, well croomed, intermediate to skilled level course. Recommended.
Love it!
This was my 3rd time playing Water Valley. I really enjoy the course. Very scenic and beautiful. It is not too difficult but the greens are really fast! A great course for the money!
I am very impressed!!
It's a very enjoyable experience to golf at this course first time! I would rate this course as one of the top 5 course in Alberta. It's really worth all the driving to pay a visit here!!
Great Canadian Course
Play 36 holes with one of my buddies who's a member at Water Valley. Incredible course!!!! First 18 holes were a scramble during a men's league event then the last 18 holes were a normal round of golf. Course conditions were some of the best I've played. Tee boxes, fairways, greens...everything was great. Everyone who works at Water Valley is extremely nice and helpful. If I lived in that part of the world I'd join in heartbeat.
Worst staff ever
Don cater to handicapped players like every other course in the Country. Marshall’s are the Most ignorant and arrogant and abusive I have ever been around.
Don’t waste your money here!
