Nestled in the outskirts of West Edmonton, and minutes away from St. Albert, the Glendale Golf & Country Club is one of Edmonton’s premier private golf courses. Established in 1961 and designed by golf course architect Norman Woods who spent time under the tutelage of Stanley Thompson, Woods integrated natural contours and elevation changes creating a unique and challenging layout for any level of golfer. Surrounded by forested landscapes and scenic views, Glendale offers an ideal retreat from city life, combining natural beauty with strategic design.
