The Quarry Golf Club sits in Edmonton's river valley system, where architect Les Furber designed two distinct eighteen-hole courses—Granite and Ironstone—that opened in the mid-1990s. Furber, a prominent Canadian golf course architect based in British Columbia, worked with the natural terrain of this former quarry site to create layouts that incorporate significant elevation changes and the rugged character of the reclaimed industrial landscape. The property's history as an aggregate extraction site gives both courses their names and contributes to their distinctive playing character, with exposed rock faces and dramatic contours shaping the routing. The Granite and Ironstone courses share the river valley setting but offer different experiences through their respective routings. The terrain features steep slopes, mature trees, and views across the North Saskatchewan River valley, which runs through Edmonton's core. Furber's design approach emphasizes strategic shot-making over forced carries, allowing the natural topography to define playing corridors and green complexes. The elevation changes require careful club selection and course management, particularly on approach shots to greens set at varying levels. The Quarry operates as a public facility, providing access to two full-length championship layouts within the city limits. The courses serve both local golfers and visitors seeking quality daily-fee options in the Edmonton area. The club's dual-course format allows for variety and accommodates significant play volume during Alberta's concentrated golf season, which typically runs from late spring through early fall before winter conditions arrive.
