In 1890, the first golf game was played in Fort Macleod – the first course to be built between Winnipeg and the West Coast. Until 1924, it also acted as a pistol and rifle range.
This 9-hole course is set in the river valley, surrounded by trees and coulees. Throughout the course you can see old wagon trails, buffalo wallows and sand traps made by sheep. Cattle and buffalo bones are there as a result of a blizzard in 1898. The Prince of Wales played golf on this course in 1924. Approximately half of this course has been deemed a historical designated area.
