About this course
Bonnyville Golf & Country Club sits in the town of Bonnyville in northeastern Alberta, approximately 250 kilometers northeast of Edmonton in the province's parkland region. The course was designed by Sid Puddicome and John Thompson, two architects who worked on numerous Alberta courses during the mid-to-late twentieth century. The layout reflects the collaborative design approach common to regional Canadian courses of that era, adapted to the local terrain and climate. The course occupies rolling parkland terrain characteristic of this part of Alberta, where the landscape transitions between prairie and boreal forest. Mature trees frame many holes, and natural elevation changes provide variety in shot-making and strategic options. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours, with holes that move through wooded corridors and more open areas that expose players to the prairie winds common to the region. Bonnyville serves as the primary golf facility for its community and the surrounding area, hosting local competitions and providing a gathering place for recreational golfers throughout the season. The club operates within the typical framework of small-town Alberta golf clubs, where the course functions as both a sporting venue and a social center. The relatively short northern Alberta golf season, generally running from late spring through early fall, shapes the club's calendar and membership patterns.

Getting there
Bonnyville Golf & Country Club is reached most conveniently via Edmonton International Airport (YEG), situated roughly 220 kilometres to the southwest, a drive of approximately three-and-a-half hours through the gently rolling terrain of central Alberta. The route traces northeast from Edmonton through farmland and boreal forest, gradually ascending into the transition zone where prairie gives way to the northern woodlands that define this corner of the province. For those with access to private aviation, the Bonnyville Airport lies just minutes from the club grounds, offering a discrete arrival point that bypasses the longer commercial route. The final stretch into Bonnyville itself unfolds through quiet country roads lined with spruce and aspen, delivering you to a club that embodies the understated elegance of Alberta's northern golf landscape.
