First time, it was okay
One star, David wouldn’t give us a rain check. All jokes aside, it was good.
First time playing, so we weren’t sure which direction we were going. Not overly difficult but you know how it is playing a course the first time.
Greens weren’t in great shape and a little hard. Couple of tee boxes were just sand with not much grass. Fairways were in good shape.
I’ll play again if giving the opportunity.
Much better than last year
Greens were rough but improving from spring. Fairways were much better than last year. Looks like lots of improvements happening. Good to see the new owners care about the place
Cart path only should be communicated
Cart path only for no reason. Fairways were in fun condition and it was quite dry.
Excellent green condition
Although we have very dry May and June in Calgary, green conditions is excellent condition. There are brown spots in fairways and dandelion white flower in rough. However I can enjoy golf play for entire 18 holes as green is manicured maintained.
Getting Dry but Great Layout
The fairways have dried up considerably due to the hot, dry weather we have experienced since early May ... sadly none of the fairways look like the green picture that comes up in Golf Now ... the greens are still in great shape overall ... as the only 18 hole course on GN within Calgary city limits, i will definitely be playing there often this summer.
Great overall but Signage for walking golfers lacking
Overall I loved the ciourse which is in very good shape with consistent greens for speed. As a first-time Wingfield golfer and walking I found there were a number of places on the course where walking golfers who don’t tend to follow paved paths struggled to find the next hole, particularly where there were multiple tee boxes close to one another …
Overall I totally enjoyed the round including watching the planes landing close by on the Runway 9.
Very poor course
The tee boxes were horribly chewed up. The directional signage was missing where needed. The groundsmen made us wait till they were finished doing what they were doing, then let us play. Couldn't find anyone in the kitchen when we tried to get a 9th hole refreshment. The cost was far more than they offer, will not go again, and will talk lots about it. Ruined expierence.
Great value!
Greens are tough. Coarse s in good shape for the time of year.
Perfect fall course
Really enjoyed playing this course, especially with no leaves to contend with. Will definitely golf here again.
Not for the average golfer.
You need to be very accurate on this course. The links style course is very unforgiving for being off centre with your driver. Can ruin your whole day hence the average rating. Greens were nice and the course is very different from your average Calgary golf course. Bring lots of golf balls.
This course is not ready for prime time
Greens are in very good condition. The fairways need work as identified by the seeding progress, the traps are in fair shape but the Tee boxes are in poor shape.
Pleasant Surprise!
After reading reviews claiming that the course is in a rebuild and therefore not worth it, I was hesitant. I was very pleased with the course conditions considering there virtually wasn’t a course two years ago. Greens were slow but I understand they’re letting them grow out to get ‘em nice and healthy. Still played beautifully. Shot my round of the year and will definitely come back.
The grind is on at Wingfield
This course was neglected hard by the previous ownership and as I result they shamefully let the course go. This new ownership group has been pushing really hard to get things up and running. It still has a journey ahead of it remediation wise but they are making all the right moves to get the course healthy again. Good links design, fun lay out, greens are in excellent shape. I like aviation so the planes landing adds a little fun intermission to the whole once in while. At 45$ I would play this track all day.
