The first visit my husband and I for the testers..... They are definitely on the hoppier side. I can't remember the name but I think it wss a pink beer? So good, I will have to visit again and get the names of the Beers.
Atmosphere was inviting. Staff was friendly. Not a lot of seating, maybe 50 people comfortably. Family friendly. Tasty draught. They sever food, but I didn't order any. I would go back.
Went in with some friends from out of province to try some of the beers. What an awesome experience! Nice staff, great beer, clean environment, and great community involvement feeling. Happy with our experience! Definitely recommended. Parking and entrance in the back.
Stopped in for a couple beers with my girl, our dog, and her granddaughter (she had a soda, no beer), stayed for a couple hours playing a trivia game and eating popcorn with lots of laughs. The beer was great and the atmosphere was relaxed and felt like home. Bought a couple bottles and a glass for later. Will definitely be back next time we're in town, thanks for the fun afternoon!
Fun little place...beer was good too!
Wow! The Nice Tea is amazing, great summer treat! Love the Saints and Sinners IPA as well, very refreshing

I enjoyed my time on the course. Was here with a team from west Fraser mill. I enjoyed the experience as a beginner. Staff were friendly and respectful. Definitely coming back
Great hidden gem. A must play when in the area. Great place for the kids to learn the game or for a casual business meeting on the course. The deck is a great place to unwind after a long day at work or to finish off a round of golf.
Amazing place. i would golf here again. The staff were a bit boring, but it's understandable 👌
Golfed on June 28, 2022 - Golf course is in terrible shape! The front nine greens are over 1 cm long, the fairways are like rough, where you can find grass, and the rough was about 12 cm long. The greens on the back nine have no grass on them, complete burn out. I can understand having a bad year, but to beat it all they charged us full price!! A complete rip off. I don't mind paying a good dollar for a good product, but their product this year is not worth the time or money!! We have played there for the last 12 years and have never been disappointed in the course. But this year with the full price and VERY sub par product it is just not worth it!
Great staff and course is in good shape for spring conditions.
Played this course June 25, 2022. Worst course I’ve played in Alberta. Definitely not worth the money. The greens are in horrible condition, it looks like chemical burns all over the greens and tee boxes, any grass on the greens is so long that you can’t putt. The fairways are like the 2nd or 3rd cut on any decent golf course. There was no Marshall on the course, the pace of play was extremely slow especially when you are behind a group of 6.
Lucky to have such a great course and people in town.
Golfed today and the staff were awesome but the overall course seems tired. I don't mean spring season tired but unkempt and neglected. Like I said it was spring season and we weren't expecting much..but... oh well. Like I said staff were great and the manager/supervisor was awesome. Kitchen staff was great too!. I was a member here for many years and I enjoyed many spring seasons as well as summer and fall. The golf carts were old and slow, the buildings at least two years away from a good paining. Carpet and overall facilities were worn and in bad need of an update. Maybe in a month or so there will be much improvement. I did see as we were enjoying a burger, two groups of 6 teeing off. I like a quick pace of play and I would not appreciate having to follow this. Four is usually the norm and a very acceptable rule. But again! Great staff!!
