Golf Courses in Cochrane

Cochrane sits in the Bow River valley just northwest of Calgary, where the Alberta prairie gives way to the foothills and the Rocky Mountains rise on the western horizon. Once a ranching outpost and still proud of its western heritage, the town has grown into one of Canada's fastest-expanding communities — but its golf courses remain tucked into the bluffs and ranchland that define the landscape. The highlight is a championship links layout perched high above the valley, where nearly every tee shot frames distant mountains and sweeping river views. Long Chinook-warmed days stretch the season, and Cochrane's position between Calgary and Kananaskis makes it a natural stop on any Alberta golf trip.
