Frequently Asked Questions

What's the golf experience like in High River, given it only has one course?

You'll find the Highwood Golf and Country Club offers a surprisingly diverse 27-hole layout, meaning you can mix and match your rounds. We love the mature trees and the Highwood River winding through, adding both beauty and a genuine challenge to your game. It's a well-maintained track that feels welcoming, not intimidating, perfect for a relaxed day on the links.

When is the best time to visit High River for golf?

We recommend visiting High River for golf from late May through early October. The summer months of July and August offer the most consistent warm weather, though you'll find the course in excellent shape during the shoulder seasons too. Just be prepared for cooler mornings and evenings if you're playing in spring or fall.

What should I expect regarding costs for a round of golf in High River?

You'll find the green fees at Highwood Golf and Country Club to be very reasonable, offering excellent value compared to courses closer to Calgary. Expect to pay in the $60-90 CAD range for 18 holes, depending on the day and time. It's a budget-friendly option that doesn't skimp on quality.

Beyond the golf course, what else is there to do in High River?

High River itself is a charming small town with a strong sense of community, perfect for a relaxed afternoon post-golf. We suggest strolling along 12 Avenue to check out the local shops and grab a bite at one of the cozy cafes. Don't miss the iconic 'Maggie's Diner' from the TV show Heartland, it's a fun photo op.

Is High River a good base for a longer golf trip, or more of a day trip destination?

High River is definitely best enjoyed as a day trip from Calgary or as a stopover if you're heading further south into the Rockies. While the Highwood offers a great round, its single course means you'll want to explore other golf options nearby for a multi-day trip. It's a perfect spot to break up a longer drive or enjoy a focused day of golf.
