About Us
Welcome to the Bow Island Golf Club, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the Town of Bow Island, affectionately known as The Bean Capital of the West. Our golf course is a well-kept secret in this diverse farm community, offering an exceptional golfing experience in Southern Alberta.
To find us, head just a bit southeast of Calgary and keep an eye out for the world’s largest putter, a landmark built by George Thacker in the ’90s, pointing directly to our course.
Established in 1955
The Bow Island Golf Club began with a local group’s vision and the support of the Bow Island Town Council. The clubhouse was moved from Main Street in 1956, marking the official establishment of our beloved golf club.
Over the years, our course has grown in popularity, with hundreds of trees added along the fairways, enhancing the natural beauty and challenge of the course. Thanks to our dedicated irrigation efforts, we have developed into one of the finest 9-hole courses in Southern Alberta.
We eagerly await your visit to “The Island.” Just follow the world’s largest putter, and you’ll find us ready to welcome you for an unforgettable golfing experience.
