About Elbow Springs Golf Club

Elbow Springs Golf Club is a semi-private 27-hole facility west of Calgary, Alberta. Its golf is divided among three nine-hole courses: Mountain View, Elbow and Springs. Because players combine different nines into an 18-hole round, the property does not have one meaningful course-wide yardage, rating or slope.

The Mountain View/Elbow combination, for example, measures 6,863 yards from the Black tees, while Mountain View/Springs measures 6,790 yards. The club describes Mountain View as the original opening nine, with relatively generous driving areas and water affecting three holes. The facility occupies the Elbow River Valley and includes practice areas, a clubhouse and lounge.

The course is a 27-hole parkland golf course. Designed by Ron Ehlert, the course originally opened in 1995. It is semi-private, welcoming both members and visitors. On-site facilities include Practice Facilities, Clubhouse, Lounge, Restaurant.

Origins

Elbow Springs developed as a multi-nine golf facility in the Elbow River Valley west of Calgary. Published course records date the facility to 1995 and credit Ron Ehlert as architect.

Did You Know?
Mountain View was constructed as the property's original opening nine.

Design Philosophy

The three-nine format gives the property multiple 18-hole combinations rather than one fixed championship routing. The club describes Mountain View as the original opening nine and characterizes it as comparatively forgiving from the tee while still incorporating risk-reward decisions. Water comes into play on three holes of that nine.

Development

The completed facility comprises Mountain View, Elbow and Springs, giving Elbow Springs 27 holes and allowing different pairings to be used for an 18-hole round.

Today

Elbow Springs operates as a semi-private club: memberships are offered, while non-members can also reserve tee times. The golf operation is supported by practice facilities and a clubhouse and lounge.
