Picture Butte Golf & Winter Club
About this course
The Picture Butte Golf & Winter Club operates two eighteen-hole courses designed by Les Furber, a prominent Canadian golf architect known for his work across the Prairie provinces and British Columbia. Furber's designs typically emphasize strategic variety and playability across different skill levels while working sensitively with the natural terrain. The Heritage and Homestead courses reflect this approach in the southern Alberta landscape, where the rolling prairie topography and prevailing winds shape the playing experience. Picture Butte sits in the agricultural heartland of southern Alberta, roughly twenty kilometers north of Lethbridge. The setting is characterized by open prairie with modest elevation changes and views extending across farmland toward the distant Rocky Mountain foothills on clear days. The courses incorporate natural grasses and native vegetation typical of the region, with water features and strategic bunkering defining the challenge on many holes. Wind is a consistent factor in this part of Alberta, influencing club selection and shot-making throughout the year. The club serves the local community and surrounding area, offering a traditional member-focused environment with social and competitive golf programs. Having two courses allows the facility to accommodate a range of events and provides variety for regular play. The dual-course layout is relatively uncommon in smaller Alberta communities, making Picture Butte a notable regional golf destination. The club maintains year-round operations with winter activities, reflecting its role as a community recreational hub beyond the golf season.
