About this course

The Harvest Course at Picture Butte Golf & Winter Club is a Les Furber design located in the small southern Alberta town of Picture Butte, approximately 20 kilometers north of Lethbridge. Furber, a prolific Canadian architect who designed or renovated more than 150 courses across western Canada, brought his characteristic approach to this prairie landscape, working with the natural terrain to create a course that reflects the agricultural heritage of the region while providing strategic interest for players of varying abilities. The course occupies relatively flat to gently rolling terrain typical of southern Alberta's farmland, where the landscape is shaped by irrigation, wind, and the distant presence of the Rocky Mountains to the west. Furber's routing likely incorporates natural drainage patterns and existing vegetation, with strategic bunkering and water features that test course management and shot-making. The open prairie setting means wind is often a significant factor in play, requiring golfers to adjust club selection and trajectory throughout their rounds. Picture Butte Golf & Winter Club serves the local community and surrounding area, offering year-round recreational facilities that extend beyond golf. The club's name reflects its dual-season programming, catering to a membership that embraces both summer and winter activities. The Harvest Course provides an accessible golf experience in a region where the game is played intensely during the relatively short prairie summer, and where agricultural rhythms have long shaped community life and leisure patterns.
