The Glendale opened its doors in 1961 and since that time has become one of the premier golf facilities in Canada. Tradition, integrity and commitment rank high in our staff’s service to our members and I think you will find this compliments the friendly atmosphere generated by our membership.

Since our inception the Glendale has continued to make improvements to the golf course with the goal of increasing the membership’s enjoyment of each and every round. The quality of the golf course has not gone unnoticed; indicative of the amount of national and international events we have, and will be, hosting. The Telus Edmonton Open was a huge success in 1998 with the golf course receiving accolades from all the players. Phil Jonas said "I think you’d see the Glendale in the top three or four golf courses in all of Canada". Ray Stewart remarked that the Glendale is the best golf course he has played in the twenty years he has been on the Canadian Tour. After winning the Canadian Amateur Championships in 2000 Han Lee remarked that "I have never seen a golf course actually improve in condition during competition".  As well, our golf course has played host to many of the best players in the world. Both John Daly and Lee Trevino have played the Glendale and were very impressed. In fact, Mr. Trevino held our course record of 64 for seventeen years until it was broken at the 2002 Telus Edmonton Open by  Aaron Barber who shot a 63 and is now playing on the PGA Tour.
 

Our current membership has become accustom to expecting the "best putting surfaces in Alberta" from Class A CGSA Superintendent Daryl Asher. The full-service pro shop operated for the Club by CPGA Greg McGarry has become known as one of the best-stocked shops in the City. His Assistants and their teaching programs are second to none. Finally, the Clubhouse atmosphere offering everything from a sports lounge to classical fine dining featuring Chef Ariel Baluyut's latest Friday creation provides a perfect location to relax after your game or visit for a very enjoyable meal. I am sure by now you are starting to realize the pride we have in our golf club. Our Food & Beverage Manager Amber McCroary and myself are diligent in our efforts to ensure each visit is enjoyable and that our staff provides a service level expected in a private club setting.

I hope you take the time to come and visit and allow me to show you our facilities. Do not hesitate to call and set up an appointment, or just drop by if you are in the area. Please enjoy a virtual tour of the course, view our photo gallery, or for membership information please click here.
