Coal Creek Golf Resort

This prairie-style course features water on holes 7, 8, 9, 12, and 13; they actually lie over the "scars" of the mine that once existed here. Likewise, the black sand used in the bunkers is remnant of Dodds Coal Mine, which once dominated this landscape. The course represents a land and environmental reclamation project, with a design by Canadian architect Grant Puddicome.

The standard walking rates are C$42 Wednesdays through Fridays, then C$54 on weekends and holidays (carts are C$30). Senior, junior, and 9-hole discounts are offered, as are corporate and frequent-play packages. Tee-times may be booked up to seven days in advance.

Coal Creek is located roughly 50 miles southeast of Edmonton.
