Two Championship Courses, One Premier Golf Club
Country Hills Golf Club is proud to offer members access to not just one, but two 18-hole championship golf courses. Both The Ridge and The Talons are professionally designed, well-maintained, and cater to various skill levels, offering a complete golfing experience in NW Calgary. While each course upholds the club's high standards, their layouts and play styles offer very different experiences.
The Ridge Golf Course: Strategy and Scenery in Perfect Balance
Set against the sandstone ridges of northwest Calgary, The Ridge course is known for its rolling fairways, elevation changes, and breathtaking prairie views. This course favours golfers who appreciate a more traditional parkland design. Strategic placement is key here, rewarding smart decision-making over raw power.
The Ridge is ideal for golfers looking to fine-tune their course management skills. The layout challenges players to use every club in their bag and rewards thoughtful shot planning. It’s a favourite among those who enjoy walking the course and soaking in the natural surroundings.
The Talons Golf Course: Precision and Power Meet Natural Beauty
Designed with a modern, tournament-style flair, The Talons course is more demanding off the tee and favours players with strong driving ability. Carved through a rugged ravine landscape, it features five natural ponds and the winding West Nose Creek, providing water hazards on multiple holes.
The Talons is known for its risk-reward opportunities and dramatic shot-making potential. It’s a go-to choice for experienced players looking for a thrilling challenge and those preparing for tournament play. With its sharp contours and fast greens, this course tests both precision and mental focus.
Which Course Is Right for Your Game?
While both The Ridge and The Talons are championship-level, your ideal choice depends on your playing style and what you want to get out of your round. If you enjoy methodical play and strategic challenges, The Ridge may be your best fit. If you thrive under pressure and enjoy testing your skills in a more aggressive setting, The Talons offers that edge.
Country Hills Golf Club members often enjoy alternating between the two courses to keep their game sharp and their experience fresh.
