Having walked Springbank myself many times, I would hardly say that Springbank front 9 is walkable, but unlink many in Calgary, I enjoy Springbank - price is good and it is easy to get onto. Tough course that beginners should stay away from (wait until you can break 90 consistantly from the back tees before giving Springbank a shot)

My top 5 Calgary Courses (that I have played)

1. Silvertip - no better scenery and a tough course
2. Stewart Creek - great scenery and a playable mountain course
3. Country Hills - Links course (Private) - best greens in Calgary
4. Heritage Point - Desert/Heritage - tough course, great greens
5. Kananaskis - Mt. Kidd - greens can be inconsistant, but best bang for your buck
