Wintergreen is located in the beautiful foothills of Bragg Creek. Just 30 minutes west of Calgary, there is a picturesque golf course surrounded by tall forests, open fields and rolling hills. A course where mountain streams intersect with tree-lined fairways to create a golf course that is challenging for the expert golfer, yet still accommodating and playable to the novice. Wintergreen Golf and Country Club has long been one of the best-kept secrets for golf in Southern Alberta. But, as more golfers discover our memorable landscape and exceptional course layout, that secret is becoming harder to keep.

Wintergreen boasts an 18-hole championship course with a practice facility for putting, short and long game range as well as a spacious clubhouse that provides a relaxed, country atmosphere.
