mikedejong Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Has anybody played yet? I was going to try to go down to Gleneagles last weekend but I got sick and decided it wasn't a smart idea. Will it be open again this weekend? Did anyone play last week, and how was it? Some ranges are open in Edmonton now... It is getting close!

[/quote]Idk I'm in nw calgary and theres still snow on the ground but its supposed to be nice the rest of the week so Gleneagles should have a chance to get back open. Me and a few buddies tried to get out to Blue Devil but they were booked solid by the time we called for friday.

cdnrockies Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Range was open here in Canmore last week. Obviously closed now after the big snow. Here's a pic from today of the best course that never was in Alberta....maybe Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman_444 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Blue Devil and Gleneagles are both open now for the foreseeable future ... played BD and it's in good shape, for what you'd expect a March opening in Calgary to be. If you don't mind brown grass everywhere, it's fine. It at least scratches the golf itch that I've had for the last few months ... you can only hit so many balls at RCGA.

Double K Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 IMO. Stewart is on the wrong side of the valley to ever be superb. Will never have enough sun to grow great grass.

Not disagreeing with you, as I've only played it once, but I was pleasantly surprised with its shape, especially considering it was like a week after it re-opened following the flood.

Double K Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Last year it was in amazing shape. Years prior they had a hell of a time with some of the greens on the back. 14, was almost totally dead. I believe they removed some of the adjacent trees to allow for more light to get to the greens.

isaacbm Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Played TPC Fox Hollow today. Greens were awesome! Seriously. $40 Glen eagles yesterday and the greens were terrible. And where do they get off charging $99 on march 30 for that goat ranch. I honestly can't believe that place is getting the Telus Can Tour event this year. I mean, it's un-walkable and there is no driving range. Don't think I'll ever go back. Price should be under $50 for spring golf with lots of winter kill and bad greens. Heather Glen 3 days ago and the greens were good there too. Brown but smooth and no winter kill. $40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 70ish% finished when it went into bankruptcy. It is wider and more wide open than the current course but is arguably more visually stunning than anything out here. The current course was not owned by TSMV which did own the land for the new course. Really sad. Doubtful it will still become a golf course.
