Fabulous SAILING club, not a canoe club as the smaller sized Yelp icon indicates. Great people, helpful, generous with their extensive knowedge. Where esle can you get a great burger and beer for $10? Available every Wednesday night during the racing season, right after the Wednesday night races are done and all gather at the clubhouse to tell the tales of their adventure that night. Fun! read more

Zero Stars!!! I was totally disappointed with this place. I had my wedding party at this venue and got the full experience of these people. First of all, the manager and other worker I interacted with were disrespectful, rude and were happy to laugh at me when I ask that they clean the place up before my wedding event. The floors were full of dirt and I had to sweep the place out. The deck has graffiti, is full of cob webs and bird poop and organic material from the trees, the paint is peeling and the deck looks like it hasn't been maintained in decades. Not to mention, there are screws, used band aids, zip ties and many other pieces of garbage stuck between the deck boards. It took me over an hour to spray the deck clean before my event. The outside of the building was filthy, windows were full of dirt, entrance smelled of pee and the walls on the outside needed to be sprayed off to have a uniform color. The tables and chairs which are available for use are rickety at best and have clearly been used for many, many years. The manager of the club was keen to point out that my expectations can't be that high because they are 'volunteers'. Well, they didn't forget to charge me $2000 for the privilege of doing business with them. There was sail boat equipment laying around in the main area which I had to find a place for, not my job. One of the patio doors was broken and has been so for over a year from what they told me, no discount for facilities which are not functioning to at full capacity. The freezer was disgusting to even touch, it was full of frost and random bits of old food? Someone left their lunch in the fridge? I am actually infuriated with this place and can't put my disdain properly into this review. I have photos I would like to put into this review to backup what I am saying. Take your business elsewhere. The view is the only thing they can offer for 2000. Watchout! read more

I have been consistently surprised and humbled by the fantastic willingness of GSC people to help out neophytes such as myself and my crew. We started half-way through last season with nothing but a new (to us) San Juan 21 sailboat and some cruising background. Thanks to the advice and enthusiasm of many GSC members we have progressed from "WAY LAST" to "NOT LAST" once in a while in less than one season. If you are looking to join a wonderful sailing club in Calgary with great facilities and members that are always keen to help you improve your sailing then this is the one for you. read more
