About Turner Valley Golf Club

Turner Valley Golf Club is an 18-hole public golf course in Diamond Valley, Alberta, with roots dating to 1930. Four local residents persuaded Royalite Oil Company to donate land for an initial three-hole course, which soon expanded to nine holes. The club later acquired additional land and hired Otto Anderson to design a second nine; construction was completed in 1974-75 and the original sand greens were converted to grass in 1975, creating an 18-hole course.

Les Furber subsequently carried out significant design upgrades, adding more developed green complexes, bunkering, tees and hole definition. The present course offers multiple tee options spanning roughly 4,100 to 6,800 yards and is divided into the Diamond Nine and Valley Nine. Current public green fees are C$69 for weekday 18-hole play and C$82 on weekends and holidays, with nine-hole, twilight and junior rates also offered.

The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. Designed by Otto Anderson, the course originally opened in 1930. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Pro Shop, Driving Range, Restaurant, Bar, Outdoor Patio, Club Hire.

Origins

Turner Valley's golf story is tied directly to Alberta's oil boom. In 1930 Fred Cameron, Harold McLeod, Dr George Hall and Jack Keith convinced Royalite Oil Company to provide land for the Turner Valley IOLS Golf Club. The first layout consisted of three holes with natural grass greens and tin cups.

It quickly developed into nine holes and was maintained largely by members and committee volunteers.

Did You Know?
A 2,000- to 3,000-year-old buffalo kill and processing site was identified on club property in 1996.

Development

The club was renamed Royalite Golf and Country Club in 1949 and Turner Valley Golf and Country Club in 1954. Expansion planning eventually led to the purchase of additional land and the hiring of Otto Anderson to design the second nine. Construction was completed in 1974-75, while the original nine's sand greens were converted to grass.

Les Furber subsequently became influential in upgrading the course, improving green complexes, bunkering, tees, irrigation and hole definition. A driving range opened in 1987.

Today

Turner Valley now operates an 18-hole public-access course with multiple tee options, a full-service clubhouse, pro shop, driving range and Royalite Grill.
