Mickelson National Golf Club

Joined here to end 2021. Really impressed with the challenge this course brings. Greens are among the best in Alberta.

A few bunkers need a top up of sand but I understand this is being considered for 2022

A real treat playing Mickelson each round!

Pros: Beautiful golf course and very challenging. Awesome rental clubs.
Cons: Expensive for the service provided. I rented a set of clubs and it came with opposite handed 5 wood/ recovery. Probably the most important club needed on all the long par 4s. Pro shop seems understaffed so I would recommend showing up an 1 hour to 45 min before your tee off to be able to spend some time on the range. I was waiting to check in about 15 minutes before my tee off.

We had a tee time booked for 6 p.m., so had time for supper. It was absolutely fantastic. The drinks were cold and served promptly by our friendly server, Jess. She brought my son pulled pork tacos, while I opted for the smoked half chicken, with a chorizo sausage salad. She was very attentive and did her job superlatively! Absolutely delicious, reasonably priced and served hot, fresh and on time.
Golfing was great. There was a bit of wind, but the views were great, and the course was in great shape. The pace was good-nobody pushing us or holding us up. The starter and the marshals were very friendly and informative. It is very close to Calgary, and when you can get a scrumptious meal along with great golf, you can’t go wrong.
