Fort Saskatchewan Golf & Curling Club

The fairways are hard packed and not very good if you need to get under the ball. The driving range adjacent to the first tee is badly located. As we traveled down the path to our drivers, balls from the range were cruising by us. The staff were nice. We bought 2 Sea Change beer @ $11.00 each. Parking is across the street.

It was our first visit to the course. We were greeted by a friendly young employee who directed us to where we could drop off our clubs and advised us on parking arrangements. While dropping off our clubs, we observed an older gentleman instructing the young staff member to water the flowers and to clean the golf carts. During the payment process for my round, there were some concerns expressed about the online payment system experiencing technical issues. Additionally, I was asked to wait until the group ahead of us had finished, with someone indicating they would alert me when it was my turn to tee off.nnThe course itself was in quite good condition, although it took a moment to locate each tee box.nnAfter finishing our round, we decided to have lunch on the patio. The food was good and the service was very friendly. The patio was a nice spot to relax after the game. However, we noticed that some members in the corner began smoking, and when I asked whether the patio was designated as a non-smoking area, no one could provide a clear answer. Despite our approach with food, the members continued smoking, which somewhat dampened the overall experience. The pro shop staff member mentioned that he would speak with the members to prevent it from happening again. It was unfortunate, as it impacted what had otherwise been a pleasant day.

I had a very disappointing experience at this golf course on the morning of September 6th. I was golfing with friends and felt unwelcome and rushed from the moment we arrived, largely due to the demeanor of the Pro Shop employee. He was not friendly or inviting and, upon our arrival, made us feel scrutinized. He stood watching us tee off and urged us along, despite the fact that we were exactly on schedule. It was apparent he did not trust us to follow the course rules.nnOur group consisted of five players, but we were fully aware that we could not play as a single group. Being experienced golfers, we had booked two back-to-back tee times. The three men teed off first, and once they were on the fairway, the two women in our group began their round. Unfortunately, our start was further disrupted by a group of four older women behind us who threatened to call the marshal, assuming we were playing as a group of five.nnIn reality, the two of us were playing at a brisk pace — averaging 11 minutes per hole — to ensure they were not delayed. Despite our efforts to comply with the rules and maintain pace, the overall atmosphere was unwelcoming and unnecessarily tense.nnHaving not golfed here in six years, this experience confirmed I will not be returning. I would strongly recommend exploring courses outside of Fort Saskatchewan, as they are well worth the drive to avoid a similar experience.

As a longtime participant in the ladies' night league, my experiences have ranged from enjoyable to disappointing—but after the events of July 22, I feel compelled to speak out. What occurred that evening was not only unprofessional, it was deeply disrespectful and unacceptable for a business that claims to value its patrons.nnTo be clear, this is not a reflection on the league organizers, who do a fantastic job. Rather, this is directed toward Cass and the clubhouse staff, whose behavior toward the league has been consistently dismissive and, at times, outright vulgar.nnWe are repeatedly made to feel as though our business is unwelcome. Comments such as “ladies don’t drink enough,” “ladies are cheap,” and “ladies don’t tip” have been shared with us when we’ve inquired about missing services—such as the complete absence of a concession cart for the entire month of June. These statements are not only offensive, they reflect a shocking disregard for a large group of loyal, paying customers.nnMost troubling was the behavior displayed on July 22, when Cass stood in front of the entire league and made it abundantly clear—using disrespectful and inappropriate language—that no effort would be made to accommodate or improve meal service. And to be clear our 'meal specials' have been awful to date. Her tone and delivery left the room stunned and completely soured what should have been a fun and social night.nnThis kind of customer service falls well below what one should expect from any customer service based establishment let alone a golf course. Instead of the professionalism and hospitality one associates with such establishments, we are met with the attitude of a 1990s dive diner. This is not only a poor representation of your business—it’s a direct contributor to lost revenue. Many of us are now reconsidering whether our time and money are better spent elsewhere.nnIf the current staff cannot handle the volume or dynamic of ladies’ night—or worse, blatantly choose not to—then management should seriously consider bringing in staff who value and support the league. Ignoring a significant and growing customer base is not just poor service; it's poor business.

Ok 9 hole course. Guy in pro seemed upset with us and shook his head for some reason which was very inappropriate. Good layout with tight slow greens.
