Alberta's links-style courses share an open, wind-exposed character drawn from the province's expansive prairie and parkland terrain — and seven of them are spread across two distinct corridors worth mapping before booking a trip. Five sit within the Calgary & Area trail, ranging from Sirocco Golf Club in Calgary, designed by Bill Robinson at 7,185 yards, to D'Arcy Ranch Golf Club in nearby Okotoks, a Ken Dye layout at 6,903 yards. To the north, the Edmonton & Area trail contributes RedTail Landing Golf Club in Nisku — the longest entry on the list at 7,322 yards — and Westlock Golf Club, a more compact option at 6,701 yards roughly an hour north of Edmonton. All seven courses play to par 72 across 18 holes, so yardage and wind exposure become the main differentiators when planning a round. Golfers staying in Calgary can reach Sirocco, The Canal at Delacour Golf Club in Delacour, and Apple Creek Golf Course in Airdrie without venturing far beyond city limits, making the Calgary corridor the more logistically efficient base for a multi-course links itinerary.
