About this course

Country Side Golf Club's Woodlands course sits in Sherwood Park, a community immediately east of Edmonton in central Alberta. Designed by William H. Brinkworth, the layout serves a residential area that developed significantly during the latter decades of the twentieth century, when golf course construction accompanied suburban growth across the Canadian prairies. The course occupies relatively flat to gently rolling terrain typical of the region, with stands of mature trees—primarily aspen, spruce, and poplar—defining corridors and framing holes. Water features, whether natural or constructed, appear on several holes and influence strategy on approach shots. The routing likely incorporates the existing tree lines and modest elevation changes to create variety within the prairie landscape, where dramatic topography is uncommon. Brinkworth, a Canadian architect active primarily in western Canada during the mid-to-late twentieth century, designed courses that emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while working within the natural characteristics of each site. His layouts typically feature straightforward strategic elements—fairway bunkering that rewards accurate driving, greens of moderate size and contour, and hazards positioned to challenge better players without overwhelming recreational golfers. Country Side serves its local membership and the Sherwood Park community, providing a parkland golf experience within the Edmonton metropolitan area. The course operates within Alberta's short but intense golf season, when long summer daylight hours allow extended play from late spring through early autumn.
