I'm not new to the sport of golf but golfing at Lakeview Golf Course was my first golf course…read moreexperience in Calgary. Prior to this visit I hadn't played on a golf course for around 3 years, so I was a bit apprehensive about my first return game. I'm a capable golfer; usually I can get a bogey here and there, maybe even a par, but then there are holes where everything goes wrong and I max out my strokes to 10+... Not a big deal with the right group, but it can pretty nerve racking when you're surrounded by other people on the course who are seemingly judging you and getting annoyed by your lack of skill. With that in mind I was a bit nervous for my return game. Upon checking in at the counter for our Tee time the lady working the cashier ensured us that it was a very beginner friendly course and if people don't like that, then they shouldn't be golfing here. Music to my ears :). We were paired with a senior couple and we set off. Sure enough it was a very beginner friendly course! The first 3 holes are their longer par 4 holes, and the remaining 6 are par 3s. There are no sand traps or water traps (unless you really hammer it out of bounds on a couple holes, you may end up in the reservoir lol) and minimal sloping. The trees also did a good job stopping the ball from going too far out of bounds most of the time, although on one hole I proved it possible to make it onto the fairway of an adjacent hole lol :D. I've golfed 7 or 8 different courses (mostly around Lethbridge where I grew up) and this was by far the easiest and most basic I've played. The greens are pretty flat and are a bit slow, but overall they looked well maintained as was the rest of the course. This course was definitely better maintained than at least one of the other courses I've played. As another reviewer mentioned, they do have power lines that are pretty prevalent on a couple holes with an audible humming. You do get some solid views on the reservoir on a couple holes and near the club house though! The couple we were paired with were definitely of beginner level as well, so it made for a highly enjoyable experience as we all played on a level playing field free on judgement and full on fun :). The course is very walkable, we opted for no cart and still did it in under 2 hours. You could do it in under 1.5 hours with the right group. I recommend booking ahead of time rather than trying to walk-in, they were quite busy! There's also a phone and online booking system. Their green fees were extremely affordable: $23 on weekend, $21 on weekdays, you can also rent clubs for $7 if you don't have your own! There is a putting green near the club house, no chipping green or driving range. Also cash and credit only, no credit! Overall great course all around for beginners, I'll definitely golf here again! Don't expect to use your driver much, you can probably get away with playing this entire course with a 3 wood, pitching wedge and a putter quite reasonably. Especially on the latter half I was able to primarily use my pitching wedge and putter. So if you're not a fan of the short game and like some additional course challenges this course may not be for you, but if you like a casual paced game that's free of judgement then it's a solid course!

Other than that, it's a great course. Being a newer golfer I enjoy this course, 4 of us can do it in under 2 hours. The holes are relatively short, so you can get a couple good shots in, and it's easy to improve or try different shots etc. The greens are well maintained, the offer power carts and are very reasonably priced. For the hubs and I to golf with a power cart is around $50. If you are a newer golfer, looking for a fun course or just a quick round, I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Scenery 4.5. I Admit to being biased toward mountain golf courses. Glen eagles remains a favorite…read more The sweeping vistas of the Canadian Rockies makes this a picturesque setting. There are two downhill par three holes with dramatic elevation changes overlooking a gorgeous river with the Rockies in the distance. Since the sand oil business seems to be set up at the base of this course it has marred the view but this is easily overlooked and ignored. 0.5 deduction. Routing and shot values 4.5: I walked the front nine. This is very doable. The shot values and aim lines are very good to generous fairways on the front nine. This is where you want to score. The par 5 2nd is reachable and the elevation changes aren't overly taxing for walkers. The back nine is NOT walkable. The pro-staff was helpful and made sure we took a cart for the back nine. Long walks between holes and Steep terrain make the back nine cart necessary. Golf carts are gas powered as necessary on hilly courses. The back nine plays down into a valley for several holes and you lose the majesty of the Rockies during that time. The houses that border the course come into play more than I like. The back is much more demanding and narrow so be prepared and avoid the big number. 0.5 deduction for the houses. Staff 4.5: friendly in the pro shop and cafe. Cart guys look exhausted and were just helpful enough; Very perfunctory. 0.5 deduction. Also the pull carts they have are the giant wheel type that too over with regularity on hilly terrain. They would be best served by having 4 wheeled push carts by Clicgear of Sun Mountain. Greens 4.0: they were in good shape but starting to get overrun by poana grass. Hence several putts were knocked offline by flowering poana; a weed that is a curse to all golf courses. I'm a 6 handicap and had played banff springs and heritage pointe on this trip. Perfect greens in both instances with heritage taking the prize. Pace of play 5: played in 4:25. No rangers on this go around but no issues either. The foursomes in front of us kept pulling away, playing fast. Much appreciated!! Overall, this course deserves 5 stars because it was a joy to play. My advice is to walk the front and ride the back nine. Enjoy the scenery and play for the spectacular shot!

The distance is about 110 feet and you can golf to your heart's content for 45 cents per minute. The place is light an astro-turf amusement park, the place was full today, and why shouldn't it be, the weather is getting warmer and pretty soon people will be out on the green, so why not practise until those whitey whites melt away. For those of you wanting to get into the sport, NGA provides classes; just check the new spring schedule, but courses from $80 a lesson to $700 for 10. It was just a refreshing change to be in a pseudo like immobile heidenberg. I don't have the patience or the skill to even attempt this; my golfing skills are challenged enough on a mini golf range let alone this colossal monster. Check NGA out to improve the Tiger in you.

Review #28 of Yelp's 30 Day Challenge 2012…read more National Gold Academy is definitely a good place to start learning golf. A few months ago, I enrolled in their Adult weeknight beginner program which is a 5-part class that's an hour each designed for adults who have no experience playing golf or for those who want to improve their basic skills. I wasn't excited about my first class as I am totally uncoordinated and know that I'll probably just humiliate myself but that all changed after my first class. Everyone at the reception area was so friendly and chill that I immediately felt at ease in an unfamiliar environment. Our teacher was Brad and he's amazing. I love how he's good at explaining and pointing out what small changes you can make to improve your swing and his recommendations always make my swing better. When the dome wasn't busy, he also extended our classes just so he could really focus on each student and address our concerns. He also helped us out in picking our clubs and pointed out why certain clubs will work or won't work for us. For a beginner, I appreciated that they have a good variety of clubs that I can borrow for free so I didn't have to spend any extra cash on clubs I'm not so sure are any good. They have your regular driving range, a putting area, several different types of simulators that can be used for group activities and video recording devices that can help in analyzing how you can further improve your swing.

I cannot thank The Hamptons enough for providing such a bright, beautiful, and joyful atmosphere for one of the most important days of my life.

Not sure about this since I am not an avid golfer nor am I familiar with golf memberships. The grounds are beautifully manicured and a very tranquil atmosphere is the first thing I noticed. I arrived for an event, so didn't partake in any golf however it was busy with golfers. Inside the building it is modern and clean. Took a walk around before heading to the event on the 2nd floor. Great views and everything was so green and well maintained. The space the event was held in was open, lots of windows and once again, even better views from the second floor. The room looked a bit dated, but then again it may have been the carpet? They even had a deck overlooking the course, which was lovely. The food was appetizers and on one table as self-serve. The food was good and some things were just ok. Things like veggies, mixed salad, chicken skewers all in small portions however the small bite size desserts were great. Everything from mini tarts, squares and cookies. As for the service, since all the food was self-serve and I didn't see any person, I didn't experience any service except when I went to the bar to buy a drink. Bartender was nice but since it was a very limited bar (wine and beer only) I didn't get to experience any other cocktails that a bartender would normally make. A bit disappointing. My review only pertains to that aspect of event space, catering and food service rather than the golf club part.
