Harvest Hills offers an imaginative 9-hole layout with scenic views of downtown Calgary and the surrounding north countryside. Three large ponds bring water into play on seven of its holes, and no fewer than 68 sand bunkers (most clustered near the greens) have been incorporated into this tough design.
At 3,185 yards, there is enough length to accommodate golfers of all skill levels. Mounded roughs channel play and help to corral errant shots. The gently rolling fairways provide a variety of challenges and golfers must exercise intelligent shot management to navigate the course successfully.
A course slope rating of 131 from the blue tees and 139 from the red tees makes Harvest Hills the most difficult 9-hole course in Alberta.
Two long fairway bunkers to the left and right of the landing on the 5th hole forces golfers to be on top of their games from the very start. If golfers thread the needle successfully, they are still presented with a tricky approach to a narrow green tightly guarded by four bunkers.
