Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club is a premier private club located in Southwest Calgary. Established in 1957, the club has been a staple in the Calgary golf community since its inception. Over the past 65+ years, the club has played host to numerous major events including The Calgary Flames Charity Tournament, Provincial Championship tournaments and most notably, the Shaw/Rogers Charity Classic, which has raised over $112 million for Alberta children’s charities since it began in 2013 and will be hosted at the club through at least 2028. At Canyon Meadows, course improvement has always been a high priority with major renovations in 2005-2007 and 2013/14 which saw the entire golf course/irrigation system re-built, and more capital projects on the way. Canyon Meadows is a fun, fast paced environment with a lot going on; if you enjoy challenging yourself and are looking for plenty of learning opportunities to help you grow and prepare for future opportunities as an Assistant Superintendent, Canyon Meadows could be the place for you.
