Golf Courses in Lyalta

Lyalta is a tiny prairie hamlet in Wheatland County, about a 25 to 30 minute drive east of Calgary along Highway 1. Once a quiet farming stop on the Canadian Pacific rail line, it was officially expanded in 2023 when Wheatland County designated the Lakes of Muirfield residential community as part of the hamlet. For golfers, Lyalta is best known as the home of Muirfield Lakes Golf Club, a semi-private layout carved into the open prairie with wide views east across the wheat fields and west toward the distant Rocky Mountain foothills. It's a small community with a big-sky feel — less a destination city and more a short, scenic escape from the busy Calgary tee sheet.
