Tee Off in the Foothills

Just 25 minutes north of Cochrane and 35 minutes from NW Calgary, Water Valley Golf Club is a laid-back, scenic course tucked into the rolling foothills of Mountain View County. The drive out alone is worth it—open roads, great views, and a real break from city life. The 18-hole semi-private course winds through thick poplar and spruce trees, giving it a peaceful, secluded feel. With elevation changes and tree-lined fairways, it’s a course that keeps you thinking, but it’s still accessible for golfers of all skill levels. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed round with friends or a solid place to test your game, Water Valley delivers.
