2010 will be the start of a new era at Wolf Creek. With the completion of our Links course we now have 36 holes of golf, which has opened up more round possibilities at our resort. Though our core business is still resort public golf the expansion has given us more room to grow our membership. With this in mind for the first time in a lot of years Wolf Creek will be expanding its membership base. If you would like to make Wolf Creek your home course, Please click here to download our 2010 membership and League registration. |

From the Golf Shop
Our golf shop hours are from 9:00am to 3:00 pm during the Christmas season, we have thousands of dollars of merchandise still available at some great pricing along with some 2010 newly arrived inventory.
If you can't make it to the shop we offer a mail or courier program to get your gift to you on time. Whether it is a gift card or that special putter someone has their eye on, we would love to help you. It is also not too late to get certain custom orders in, both Chris and Jae will be in the shop to search it out and get you an answer as soon as possible.
Our new logo gave us a fresh look in the shop this year, at the buying show we decided to do some tweaking with both logos to give us a consistent look with the merchandise. This is what we came up and I think you will agree it is much cleaner with the wording and more compact. These logos will be on all our merchandising next year, splitting between different brands for the best selection.

Wolf Creek Course Architect Rod Whitman receives Score Award for 2009!!
 Rod Whitman has designed and constructed highly-acclaimed golf courses in Canada, the United States, Europe and Asia. His first solo design at Wolf Creek Golf Resort in Ponoka, Alberta (opened for play in 1983) perennially ranks amongst the top-20 golf courses in Canada.
"Wolf Creek is so good, so meticulously crafted that it's often used as a study for blossoming golf architects," writes golf journalist Andrew Penner. "In fact, many of the current 'stars' in the field come to examine its gorgeous contouring and detail to learn the finer merits of moving dirt in ways that are both pleasing to the eye and incredibly rewarding to play."
Whitman's Blackhawk Golf Club near Edmonton, Alberta (opened for play in 2004) currently ranks 15th on SCOREGolf magazine's list of the top-100 courses in Canada. "Blackhawk is a bold vision that is reminiscent of the best golf courses created in Canada by the likes of Stanley Thompson," writes golf architecture critic, Robert Thompson. "In fact, Blackhawk may have more in common with (Stanley) Thompson's work, including the great designer's predilection for wide fairways, strategic bunkering and occasionally wild greens, than any Canadian designer in the last fifty years."
Most recently, Whitman designed Sagebrush Golf and Sporting Club in collaboration with Canadian PGA Tour professional, Richard Zokol. Located adjacent to Nicola Lake, amid British Columbia's unique, desert-like interior, Sagebrush was named Best New Course for 2009 by SCOREGolf magazine.
Like his mentors, Pete Dye and Bill Coore (Coore and Crenshaw, Inc.), Whitman understands the importance of detailed fieldwork. He spends an extraordinary amount of time on-site throughout the development of his golf course designs, and continues to personally carry out shaping work.
This type of dedication to his craft allows Whitman to continually study and tinker with preliminary design ideas throughout the construction process.
"The most enduring golf courses aren't created on a drawing board in a downtown office," says Whitman. "They're built by golf architects who spend an extraordinary amount of time on-site, in the dirt, throughout an entire project. It's the guys with dirt under their nails who will never build the worst courses and have a better chance to build the best." www.rodwhitman.com |

From the Clubhouse!!!
With the Golf season behind us we are now looking forward to 2010, we have just completed our Tournament package for 2010 and is now released on the website.
Our Chef Michael Card has been working hard getting ready for next year but in the meantime he has just received word he has been selected to be one of the Host Chef's at the Olympics. Michael was chosen from hundreds of applications from across the country and will be part of the team that feeds the athletes and guests at the Olympic Village. This is a great feather in Michaels cap and just shows the caliber of culinary ability we have at Wolf Creek. As many of the members and guests can attest to over the past few years, Michael has elevated our food presentation and service to a new level.
