Golf Course Review by: Billy Satterfield

Rankings:

The Takeaway: Beyond the opening and closing hole on the front nine, the outward nine is mostly corridor golf before opening up on a back nine that boasts more engaging hole designs and mountain views. Grade B

What to Expect: Founded on an old mining site, Stewart Creek boasts an impressive location with plenty of elevation changes and the Canadian Rockies providing a scenic backdrop at various times throughout the round. The course opens with a bang with a memorable downhill par four with mountains framing the left side, but then Stewart Creek plays possum for the rest of the front nine before emerging with the dramatic dropshot signature 9th hole. The back nine offers a stronger set of holes with a good mixture of lengths and features while also providing some inspiring mountain views. The elevation changes are mostly mild and trees heavily line each fairway in an effort to demand accuracy, and if you do leave the fairway, you are likely to lose your ball as the thick foliage outside the short grass is quick to eat it. Upon check-in, players are given a cart to get around the course in and can use it to navigate to the driving range and practice greens before teeing off. Overall, Stewart Creek is a solid course, particularly on the back nine, with beautiful mountain views; which is exactly what players come to see in Alberta.
