Situated outside Drumheller in the badlands of east-central Alberta, Dinosaur Trail Golf & Country Club is a Sid Puddicombe design that opened as a 9-hole layout in 1965. Thirty years later, it was doubled in size to its current 18-hole configuration.
The original nine holes are laid out along the Red Deer River and their makeup is a conventional parkland, with the first five holes completely encircling holes 6 to 9. Highlights on this loop include the tough, very long par four 4th, rated stroke index 1 on the card. So much for the warm up, it’s then time to move onto far more rugged terrain on higher ground across the road.
The back nine is where the challenge really begins on top of the Drumheller HooDoos, which are large, mushroom-shaped capstones (composed of sand and clay from the Horseshoe Canyon Formation) that protect softer, underlying rock formations – for sure, you will play some of the most memorable golf holes you’ll ever come across up here on this unique setting.
