Harvest Hills offers an imaginative 9-hole layout with scenic
views of downtown Calgary and the surrounding north countryside.
Three
large ponds bring water into play on seven of its holes, and
no fewer than 68 sand bunkers (most clustered near the greens)
have been incorporated into this tough design.
At
3,185 yards, there is enough length to accommodate golfers of
all skill levels. Mounded roughs channel play and help to corral
errant shots. The gently rolling fairways provide a variety
of challenges and golfers must exercise intelligent shot management
to navigate the course successfully.
A
course slope rating of 131 from the blue tees and 139 from the
red tees makes Harvest Hills the most difficult 9-hole course
in Alberta.
Two
long fairway bunkers to the left and right of the landing on
the 5th hole forces golfers to be on top of their games from
the very start. If golfers thread the needle successfully, they
are still presented with a tricky approach to a narrow green
tightly guarded by four bunkers.
