Make the day special with Mom. Come in and enjoy a great day together for a round of golf on the course and a great very special meal at River & Nine restaurant and lounge.

Zack Friesen and Santino Wiebe were first on the course for opening day yesterday, joined by Board Member and Course Operations Director, Ray Crisler. 

Not sure if either golfer got a birdie, but I am sure they enjoyed a good game.

Good times, great people!

We're here for another round!  We would like to welcome back all of our past patrons along with all the new people we will meet this year.

We are looking forward to providing you with an exceptional experience.  We have lots to do to make that happen, but please know that we are dialed in and diligently working on projects that will bring our little gem back to its former glory...... that is our promise to you

Come by the course to see some of the amazing progress so far.  

⛳ We’re Ready  -  And the Course Has Never Looked Better

After an exceptional winter, the course has come through in outstanding condition - and it shows.
Our groundskeeper and crew have invested significant time and care to ensure the entire course is in top shape. Greens are rolling true, aprons and fairways are clean and healthy, tee boxes are dialed in, and all hazards are fully playable and tidy. Every detail has been prepared with your experience in mind.

Our fleet of carts and rental equipment has also been fully serviced, polished, and ready to go - just waiting for you to hit the course.

And it doesn’t stop there.

Welcome to River & Nine - Restaurant and Lounge

The days are getting warmer, and the sun is shining a little longer each day. The snow is finally melting away, revealing the lush greenery beginning to wake beneath.

Opening day preparations are well underway.

• Our greens have already begun receiving the spring care they need to become perfectly playable for the season.
• Our sand traps are stocked with fresh material and ready for a full refresh.
• Course equipment maintenance is in progress to ensure top-quality conditions across tee boxes, fairways, aprons, and greens.
• We’ve also begun the hiring process to ensure we have a great team ready to serve you and deliver an exceptional experience.

We haven’t forgotten the Clubhouse and Pro Shop.

Significant improvements are already taking shape—and you’ll notice the difference right away. We hope you love what you see.

• We started by replacing the aged flooring to set the tone. What a difference.
• In the kitchen, we made a major investment—replacing the stove, ovens, cooktop, and deep fryer—to ensure consistently great food, from breakfast service to high-end tournament buffets. You’re going to love it.
• Interior painting is next on the list and will begin shortly, following completion of several priority items, including hiring our 2026 server team. If you haven’t applied yet, there’s still a short window—competition is already strong, so bring your best.
• We’ve also upgraded all bathroom fixtures with new toilets—small details that improve the overall experience.
• Additional enhancements are planned, including more comfortable indoor seating, coordinated with our new flooring, paint, and window treatments. The space is coming together to be more inviting, comfortable, and enjoyable than ever.
• And of course, the rebuilt outdoor deck—what a view. Come out, play a round, enjoy a great meal, and take it all in.

We’re incredibly fortunate to have outstanding sponsors and volunteers who help make everything possible—and we want to recognize and celebrate them.

• We are developing enhanced sponsor placement and visibility initiatives to ensure our partners receive strong, meaningful exposure. You’ll start to see these improvements roll out early this season.
• Course signage is being refreshed throughout.
• Last year, sponsor support helped us upgrade carts and equipment—thank you.
• We’ve also formalized a sponsorship structure that clearly demonstrates the value of each contribution and how it supports the club.
• We’re expanding partnerships across our community—with local businesses, clubs, organizations, and all levels of government.
• Our outreach is growing to attract more players and members—from youth to seniors—while supporting amateur golf, strengthening community engagement, and promoting tourism in our region.
• Interested in getting involved? We have a wide range of volunteer opportunities available—from hands-on support to ambassador roles. It’s a great way to contribute, build friendships, and enjoy a few added perks along the way. Visit our Volunteering page to learn more.

There is a tremendous amount happening behind the scenes, and we want you to know we are working hard to make the 2026 golf season the best one yet.

If you haven’t secured your membership or picked up a green fee 10-pack, stop by the clubhouse and we’ll get you set up. Be sure to check our homepage for off-season hours.

How many of you know that our Provincial Government makes highly valuable contributions to organizations all across the province in an effort to build community?

Our small non-profit organization became the conduit for our community to receive outstanding support.  The Alberta Community Facilities Enhancement Program provided funding that allowed us to execute our plan to improve our clubhouse, our golf carts, and expand access to individuals who started encountering challenges due to our aging infrastructure. 

That's just stage one.  We certainly intend to carry enhancements much further in order to improve your overall experience and to become the renewed beacon that sits at the south entrance to our town.

It's pretty incredible to think that our government takes steps to engage to this degree with community.  We are proud to be part of it.  Come in, check out what we have accomplished, and help us celebrate this wonderful program.

Due to the great success and the ever increasing size of the Pumpkin Walk, it is with great sadness that this event will be moved to the Agrena Sports Grounds in Barrhead this year. Thank you to the Co-op and all of the other businesses that have participated in this amazing event for letting us be the host of this walk for the last 10 years. We hope that your new area will allow you to continue growing and to keep making the Pumpkin Walk the success that it is. Best Wishes and Happy Halloween!

Special thanks to Shawn and Penny Stephani from Stephani Motors Ltd. Barrhead for taking these aerial photos for us. And the most amazing thing is, these were taken the Saturday afternoon following the big wind cleanup that happened Aug 24 2017

This picture shows the pile of broken branches hauled to this spot on the edge of the 4th fairway , waiting for the Town of Barrhead to come and chip up.

During this 2017-2018 winter the Town of Barrhead has been in and cleaned up all of our excess branches and leaf piles. Thanks to the Town of Barrhead for this.
