Heritage Pointe Golf & Country Club

Heritage Pointe Golf & Country Club sits in the rolling foothills southwest of Calgary, near the hamlet of DeWinton. Designed by Bill Newis and Ron Garl and opened in the late 1980s, the course takes advantage of natural elevation changes and mature stands of spruce and pine that frame many holes. The routing moves through varied terrain, with several holes playing along ridgelines that offer views toward the Rocky Mountains to the west, while others descend into wooded valleys where the character becomes more intimate and sheltered. The design emphasizes strategic options from the tee, with fairways that reward positioning over pure distance. Garl's influence appears in the bunkering style and green complexes, which feature subtle internal contours and require careful approach play. Water comes into play on several holes, typically integrated into the natural drainage patterns of the property. The combination of elevation change, mature tree cover, and thoughtful green sites creates a course that plays differently depending on wind conditions and pin placements. Heritage Pointe has served as a competitive venue for regional amateur events and has hosted qualifying rounds for national championships. The club maintains a traditional private membership structure, with facilities that include practice areas and a clubhouse positioned to take advantage of the foothill setting. The course remains a well-regarded layout in the Calgary golf market, known for its conditioning and the variety of challenges presented across the eighteen holes.
