Great rural course. A hidden gem for sure!
The fact this whole town has taken on he "Star Trek Vulcan" image is awesome!!
The course is a nice mix of 'old small town Alberta' and new Les Furber design gave this track 2 completely different 9s. Having played many small town courses the front 9 is very typical of this type of course with old growth trees and smaller greens. The back 9 is very typical of most Furber designs with wide fairways, large greens and large bunkers. Very forgiving.
The staff was friendly and the food was good. If I had one complaint it would be that they do not sell their tee box markers which are amazing.
I would recommend a stop here for most avid golfers (get directions to the 10th tee).
I have very mixed feelings with my visit to the The Vulcan Golf course earlier today. It was my first visit to this establishment and it had been quite a few years since my last tee time. I found the green fees very fairly priced, the course itself in decent shape ... and a nice patio for some tasty drinks or a bite afterwards.
However, the customer service was very lacking from a man who seemed to be the manager. This man "Gord" made me feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome upon entry as he made loud comments about my " attire " that apparently wasn't up to his "standards" for what he says women should wear to golf. I was wearing athletic wear and Nike sports shorts, and as a beginner golfer I felt that would be deemed appropriate.
Today's visit was my first and most likely my last visit to the course because of treatment and degrading comments made by their employee. Definitely not a great way to get repeat customers in a small town.
Great course, Gord and the pro shop staff are all Birdies! The grounds grew do a great job with the greens as well. Best value for the the money hands done.
