Golf, is one of the only things, that is way better around Edmonton, than Calgary. Reading this thread, prices and times reminds of when I lived in Calgary up until 7 years ago, and how much I hated trying to golf. 6 hour rounds at Shag etc. Once it took 5 hours to play the 9 holes at Confed. Back then Elbow Springs was around $50 or $60 bucks, and that was expensive. Plus trying to get on, on weekends anywhere you almost had to know a member. As far as golfing goes, I don't miss Calgary. Now I have a membership at a course about 20 minutes away from Edmonton, and it cost me $2000 for unlimited play with a cart. The same course is $42 w cart after 3 pm for anyone, and I think $55 on weekends without cart. The course is better than Elbow Springs imo. Just can't wait for all of these June tournaments to be over.
As far as balls go... I usually play whatever I found last, but I like Titleists. I've heard if you aren't a great golfer, you should play lower end balls. Try something like Top Flites.
Try getting on Mackenzie Meadows.
