How far east?

Speargrass is nice, well taken care of, but pure links style.

Heather Glen is on the east side of the city.

Other than that, Strathmore has a fairly decent course as well.

Heatherglen is fine yea. Reasonably priced.

If you are willing to go a bit further north Canal at Delacour isn’t a bad track. Usually play a Few rounds a year there.

Great range too. We'll, just the fact you hit off grass 90% of the time

Totally, Scott who runs the place is a great dude too.

I've heard Canals at Delacour is quite nice, but have never played it.
Similar style as Speargrass?

[bigboom]

Canal is also a links style course similar to Speargrass but I prefer it as it is a better walking course. I think Speargrass is more scenic though along the river.

Ya canal is good, they keep the greens really nice actually. But it’s basically carved out of a field so done expect much tress aside from the second hole.

If you can stomach the drive it’s pretty cheap. I know some members there so I end up making the trek here and there.

Just head south a little, I really enjoy D'Arcy Ranch every time I have played there, significantly more than speargrass.

Serenity is just east of town, I have not played it but heard good things, Lakeside in Chestermere is also pretty decent.

I did the carving. I spent 2 years building that course - I had a hand in basically everything from after when the earth movers stripped the top soil to the seeding (shaping, irrigation/drainage, tee boxes, sand traps, greens, etc.)

Still haven't played it but really need to at some point.

That's the first time I've heard that Speargrass is a pure links course. There are some holes which might resemble a links style course (probably the nature of the flat piece of farmland that used to be there) but it's really a hodgepodge of holes/styles. Canals is a links course.
