We’ve compiled a snapshot of real estate data for some of Calgary’s most popular golf course neighbourhoods. Email Spencer Rivers at spencer@riversrealestate.ca, Calgary’s #1 Luxury Realtor, for a personalized analysis of which golf communities could be perfect for you! Below is a comparison of average home prices, typical lot sizes, and annual HOA fees in Calgary’s city golf communities versus nearby suburban golf communities:
| Neighbourhood | Avg. Home Price (2025) | Typical Lot Size | HOA/RA Fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Willow Park (SE) | ~$900,000 | ~7,000 sq ft (0.16 ac) | None (Voluntary CA) |
| Maple Ridge (SE) | ~$750,000 | ~6,000 sq ft (0.14 ac) | None (Voluntary CA) |
| Canyon Meadows (SW) | ~$650,000 (median) | ~8,000 sq ft (0.18 ac) | None (Voluntary CA) |
| Douglasdale (SE) | ~$650,000 (est.) | ~5,000–6,000 sq ft | Low (<$200/yr RA) |
| Silver Springs (NW) | ~$750,000 | ~6,000 sq ft (0.14 ac) | None (Voluntary CA) |
| The Hamptons (NW) | ~$900,000 | ~8,000 sq ft (0.18 ac) | Yes (Landscape Fee ~$200/yr) |
| Valley Ridge (NW) | ~$850,000 | ~5,500 sq ft (0.13 ac) | Yes (RA ~$100/yr) |
| Country Hills/Panorama (N) | ~$600–700K (est.) | ~4,500–5,500 sq ft | None (Optional CA) |
Note: “CA” refers to Community Association (voluntary civic memberships); “RA” is Residents Association (mandatory upkeep fee in some newer areas). Home prices are averages and vary by property; homes directly backing onto golf courses often command premium prices, sometimes 10–20% higher than community averages.
| Neighbourhood | Avg. Home Price (2025) | Typical Lot Size | HOA Fees (Annual) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heritage Pointe (Foothills) | ~$1,200,000+ | 0.25–0.5 acre estates | Yes (~$1,660) |
| Bearspaw (Rocky View) | ~$1,500,000 (estate avg) | 2.0+ acre country lots | None (No HOA) |
| Priddis Greens – Hawk’s Landing (Foothills) | ~$1,100,000 (estate avg) | ~0.5–1.0 acre treed lots | Yes (~$2,000 est.) |
| Chestermere (Lakeside) | ~$700,000 | ~0.15 acre suburban lots | Yes (~$500) |
| Airdrie – Woodside | ~$500,000 | ~0.12 acre suburban lots | None (Optional CA) |
| Okotoks – Crystal Green | ~$600,000 | ~0.15 acre suburban lots | Yes (~$300 with lake) |
| Okotoks – D’Arcy Ranch | ~$550,000 (new builds) | ~0.10 acre newer lots | None (No HOA) |
| Cochrane – Gleneagles | ~$700,000 | ~0.20 acre hillside lots | Yes (~$300) |
| Springbank – Harmony (Rocky View) | ~$900,000 (mix) | ~0.15–0.25 ac (estate & villa) | Yes (~$1,200) |
These suburban communities typically feature larger lots and gated or semi-private settings. Many have homeowner associations to maintain lakes, gated entrances, or upscale amenities. In Heritage Pointe, for example, residents enjoy a private lake and spacious lots – justified by HOA dues of around $1,663/year. In Bearspaw, by contrast, homes sit on expansive country acreages with no mandatory HOA (though some newer enclaves like Watermark have fees for shared water/sewer and parks). Always review each community’s covenants and fees before buying to understand the full cost of ownership in a golf course neighbourhood.
Calgary’s golf communities span a range of price points – from mid-range family homes (e.g. Woodside in Airdrie) to some of the region’s most exclusive luxury estates (e.g. Bearspaw or Priddis Greens). Yet they all share one thing: desirable lifestyle and resale potential. Many have seen strong appreciation due to limited inventory and high demand. For instance, Valley Ridge’s average price is up ~11% year-over-year despite broader market fluctuations. When chosen carefully, a home in a well-located golf community can offer enjoyment and a solid long-term investment.

These communities are the “crème de la crème” that Calgary has to offer, as rated by our luxury expert, Spencer Rivers, who knows the city’s premier neighbourhoods. If you’re interested in owning a home in any of these Alberta golf communities, contact the Luxury Homes Calgary Team, Calgary’s #1 boutique real estate group for golf course homes.
Interested in other areas? Even Calgary’s inner-city has golf options – for example, Inglewood Golf & Curling Club is a semi-private course along the Bow River, only 5 minutes from downtown, with character homes and infills nearby. No matter your preferred setting – city, suburb, or country – there’s likely a Calgary golf community suited to your needs.
Southwest Calgary is home to some of the city’s oldest and most prestigious golf course neighbourhoods. These communities enjoy short commutes to downtown, established amenities, and leafy streets. Here are the top SW golf communities:
Location: South Calgary (east of Macleod Trail, 15 minutes from Downtown).
Golf Courses: Willow Park Golf & Country Club (private, 18-hole, par 72) and Maple Ridge Golf Course (public, 18-hole, par 71).
Golf Community?: Yes – homes back onto both courses. Willow Park is a private club established 1965 (rated among Calgary’s finest member courses), while Maple Ridge is city-operated (affordable, family-friendly)
Home Types: Largely single-family bungalows and two-storeys on wide lots (~60–70’ frontages). Many have seen extensive renovations or rebuilds given the community’s desirability. A few townhomes exist near Willow Park.
Nearby Amenities: Residents enjoy Southcentre Mall, Willow Park Village (boutique shops and dining), and Fish Creek Library, all 5 minutes away. The Trico Centre offers an indoor pool, rinks, and fitness. Maple Ridge is adjacent to the Bow River valley for walking paths.
Schools: Both communities are zoned to excellent schools. Maple Ridge School (K-4) offers science enrichment and feeds into Willow Park School (Arts-Centred program) and Nickle Middle. For high school, Dr. E.P. Scarlett High School is highly regarded (French Immersion, IB program). Several top Calgary private schools (Louis Riel, Western Canada College) are within a 15-minute drive.
10-Year Trend: Willow Park & Maple Ridge have seen steady appreciation ~3-4% annually. Despite being 50+ years old, their resale values remain strong thanks to location and lot size. In the last 12 months, Willow Park’s median sold price was around $747K, and homes backing the golf course often fetch $1M+. The mid-century charm and modern upgrades have kept demand high.
Builder/Design: Originally developed by Engineered Homes in the 1960s, known for quality at the time. Many current homes have been upgraded by luxury renovators. The area’s enduring layout (curved drives, cul-de-sacs around the golf greens) speaks to good planning. Willow Park Golf Club itself was a major draw that spurred higher-end home builds along its fairways.
Notable: Willow Park residents can join the Willow Ridge Community Association for ~$30/yr (voluntary) which hosts events and skating. An interesting perk – Willow Park Golf Club offers social memberships for non-golfers who live nearby to enjoy dining and member events. Commute to the Core is ~20–25 minutes via Macleod or Deerfoot, or a quick C-Train ride from Anderson Station.

Location: SW Calgary (Anderson Road & Elbow Drive area, ~20 minutes from Downtown).
Golf Course: Canyon Meadows Golf & Country Club – private 18-hole course (par 71) known for hosting the PGA Champions Tour’s Shaw Charity Classic.
Golf Community?: Yes – the course winds through the neighbourhood. About 30% of homes back onto golf fairways or greens. Canyon Meadows G&CC is member-owned, highly rated (often top 100 in Canada), and features a stately clubhouse.
Home Types: Primarily single-family homes. You’ll find large bungalows, split-levels, and some two-storey homes from the late 1960s–70s. Many sit on big pie lots on quiet cul-de-sacs. There is a gated villa enclave (“Canyon Meadows Estates”) offering luxury attached bungalows – popular with downsizers.
Nearby Amenities: Bordering the Fish Creek Provincial Park, residents have nature at their doorstep – walking trails, picnic sites, even the Sicome Lake swim area. The community is minutes from Southcentre Mall and Shawnessy shopping (Costco, cinemas). The Canyon Meadows Aquatic & Fitness Centre is within the neighbourhood.
Schools: Canyon Meadows Elementary offers Spanish Bilingual programming and feeds into Robert Warren Jr. High (Spanish) and Dr. E.P. Scarlett (IB & Spanish). For regular program, there’s Harold Panabaker School and Centennial High nearby. The neighbourhood also houses Ecole Jeanne-Sauvé (Francophone K-9). Overall, families cite strong school options in and around the area.
10-Year Trend: Steady. Canyon Meadows’ larger homes saw modest growth during the 2010s, then a surge in 2021–2022. The presence of the golf course and park buffered home values during down markets. Many buyers undertake significant renovations, reflecting confidence in the area. Median prices are around mid-$600s, up roughly 25% from a decade ago. Golf course estate homes top $1M when updated.
Golf Perks: Members of Canyon Meadows G&CC enjoy reciprocity at other private clubs and a full social calendar. While membership isn’t required for residents, having a championship course inside the community is a point of pride. During the Shaw Charity Classic tournament, homeowners often host viewing parties in their backyards as pros play through.
Builder/Community: Developed by Keith Construction (a prominent Calgary builder) in late 60s, which lends the community a cohesive upscale feel. The streets are named after golf terms (e.g., Fairway Drive, Canterbury Dr. references “Canyon”) giving a fun thematic touch.

Location: SE Calgary (Deerfoot Trail & 24 St SE, ~20 minutes downtown outside rush hour).
Golf Course: Eagle Quest Douglasdale Golf Course – public 18-hole mid-length course (par 60) known for its approachable layout and driving range.
Golf Community?: Yes – Douglasdale was designed around the golf course in the 1990s. Many houses back onto the course’s fairways. Though Eagle Quest is a public “executive” course (shorter yardage), it’s popular for casual play and lessons, giving the community a leisure vibe.
Home Types: A mix of 1990s-era single-family homes (bi-levels, two-storey, front-attached garage) and some villa bungalows (adult living complexes near the course). Homes here are generally more affordable than in older SW areas, making it a great entry point for golf community living. Average lot sizes are smaller (streets are curvilinear with cul-de-sacs maximizing golf frontage).
Nearby Amenities: Quarry Park (next door) offers upscale shopping, restaurants, and corporate campuses (including Imperial Oil) – a big employment hub minutes away. There are groceries, pubs, and services in Douglasdale’s own plaza too. The Bow River pathway runs along the eastern edge, connecting to Fish Creek Park for biking.
Schools: Douglasdale/Douglasglen has a K-4 elementary (Douglasdale School) and is served by Mountain Park Middle (in McKenzie). High school students go to Lord Beaverbrook or Joane-Cardinal Schubert (for newer communities). School ratings are solid, though not top-tier; however, the community’s family-friendly design (parks, daycares) is a draw.
10-Year Trend: Consistently positive. Being a relatively young area, Douglasdale saw significant growth through the early 2000s. Over the last decade, home prices have appreciated moderately (~2-3%/yr). The detached home median is now around $600K, up from high-$400s ten years ago. Its value proposition (a house on a golf course in Calgary for under $700K) continues to attract buyers, keeping demand stable.
Builder/Quality: Developed by Carma Developers (now Brookfield) in late 80s/90s, with homes by builders like Jayman, Avi, and Morrison. These builders have good reputations, and many original owners are still in place – a sign of neighbourhood satisfaction.
Golf Note: Eagle Quest is a public pay-and-play facility, so you will see non-residents coming to golf. The upside: no membership fees needed to play regularly, and residents can stroll over for a quick 9 holes or hit the driving range in the evenings. Some residents do note a bit of stray golf ball risk in backyards near tee boxes – prudent buyers might choose homes along the middle of fairways or ensure yards have protective landscaping.
Other SW/South Calgary mentions: Lake Bonavista (while centered on a lake, not a golf course) is just south of Maple Ridge and offers exclusive lake club living with the Cottonwood Golf Course a short drive away. Pump Hill/Bayview back onto the Glenmore Reservoir and are near Calgary Golf & Country Club – these ultra-luxury areas appeal to those who want privacy and are minutes from private golfing without living on the course per se.

Northwest Calgary boasts rolling terrain with ravines and coulees that lend themselves to scenic golf courses. The following NW communities combine excellent access to recreation with strong schools and family amenities:
Location: Northwest edge of city (Stoney Tr & Country Hills Blvd NW, ~25 minutes to Downtown).
Golf Course: The Hamptons Golf Club – private 18-hole championship course (par 72) known for pristine conditions and challenging water hazards. Former host to Alberta Open.
Community Overview: The Hamptons is a master-planned upscale community built around the golf course. It’s one of Calgary’s premier northwest neighbourhoods, often noted for its impressive two-storey homes, beautiful parks, and low crime. Approximately half the homes in The Hamptons enjoy some view of the golf course (either backing directly or overlooking from a distance).
Home Types: Almost entirely single-family detached homes, many in the estate caliber (2,500+ sq ft, triple garages). Brick and stucco facades are common, lending a stately street presence. There is also a small villa enclave (LaVita condos) for adult living. Homes were built mostly in the 1990s by quality builders like Calbridge and Janssen.
Amenities: The community has its own strip mall (Hamptons Co-op for groceries, cafes, medical offices). For more shopping, Beacon Hill Centre (Costco, Home Depot) and Country Hills retail are 10 minutes away. The new Hamptons Clubhouse (recently renovated) offers dining and hosts community events. Extensive pathways run through the community and around the course ponds. Nose Hill Park (one of the largest urban parks in Canada) is also nearby for hiking and off-leash areas.
Schools: Hamptons is coveted for its school designations. Tom Baines Junior High (consistently one of Calgary’s top middle schools) and Sir Winston Churchill High (renowned for its International Baccalaureate program and high academic rankings) serve the area. Elementary students attend Captain John Palliser or Hamptons School (K-4). Many families move here specifically for these school options – a key driver of home values.
Market & Trends: Resale in The Hamptons is robust. In 2024, 75 homes sold with an average price of $965K. Even in slower markets, The Hamptons outperforms – it’s seen ~30% price growth in the last decade, and during the oil downturn mid-2010s it held value better than most areas. Limited new supply (it’s fully built-out) and the area’s prestige keep demand high. It’s not uncommon to see bidding wars on well-updated listings.
Golf & HOA: Homeowners contribute to a residents’ association (~$200/year) that maintains landscaping, flower beds, and winter skating on the storm ponds – keeping the community looking immaculate. Membership at The Hamptons Golf Club is separate (approx. $30K initiation + annual dues) and exclusive – but residents say even walks along the course paths at dusk are a joy. The club’s reputation for top-tier golf draws buyers who are serious about the sport.

Location: NW Calgary (Crowchild Tr & Silver Springs Gate, ~20 minutes to Core). Silver Springs and the adjacent Varsity Estates lie just north of the Bow River escarpment.
Golf Course: Silver Springs Golf & Country Club – private, 18-hole (par 72) course. It’s tucked in a ravine with elevation changes and is highly ranked for its layout. The club has been a fixture since Silver Springs community was developed in the early 1970s.
Community Overview: Silver Springs is a large, family-friendly neighbourhood known for its ridge views and Botanical Gardens maintained by residents. Varsity Estates, immediately south across Crowchild, is an extension of the Varsity community with luxury homes along the golf course’s south side. Together, these areas encompass many “golf backing” homes. Silver Springs G&CC is actually located in Varsity Estates, but is bordered by both communities.
Home Types: Silver Springs has a mix – modest bungalows, split-levels, and some two-storey designs from the 1970s. Varsity Estates features larger executive homes (some custom-built in the 80s/90s) directly along the course. Many Varsity Estates homes are 2-storey with 4+ bedrooms, often extensively renovated or rebuilt. Lot sizes vary but estate lots can be 1/4 acre.
Amenities: Both communities are well-served. Silver Springs has a local shopping plaza and active community centre with pool. It’s minutes to Crowfoot Crossing (major retail/movie theatre) and the LRT station for transit downtown. The Bowmont Park natural area is adjacent – offering trails and off-leash parks along the Bow River. Varsity is next to the University of Calgary and Alberta Children’s Hospital – convenient for professionals there.
Schools: Silver Springs has Silver Springs School (K-6) and W.O. Mitchell (K-6, French) in-community. Feeders include F.E. Osborne (JR high) and Bowness High or Churchill High for senior (Churchill for French/IB). Varsity Estates falls under Varsity community schools, including Marion Carson (K-6) and the highly-rated Wardair School (CBE’s GATE program) and William Aberhart High (another top academic high school, also offers French Immersion). Overall, these areas have excellent school options, one reason families stay long-term.
Market & Value: Silver Springs has been named one of Calgary’s “Best Neighborhoods” in past surveys for its combination of amenities, accessibility and value. Over 10 years, home prices here rose steadily; an average house price is ~$675K (higher for Varsity Estates, where many are $1M+). In 2024, the average single-family sale in Silver Springs was $761K. The allure of a private golf club in your backyard certainly enhances prestige – Varsity Estates homes on the course are among NW Calgary’s priciest. Yet, compared to newer west suburbs, buyers get larger lots and a more central location here – a strong long-term value proposition.
Golf Life: Silver Springs G&CC is a family-oriented club – it even offers junior programs and family tee times. Living nearby, residents often take advantage of social memberships to use the dining room or attend club events. The club’s wooded setting also means wildlife sightings (deer, owls) for homeowners, adding to the natural appeal. One consideration: parts of Silver Springs on the ridge enjoy spectacular views but can be windy in winter. Many residents say the friendly, tight-knit feel (lots of original owners) more than makes up for the occasional Chinook gusts.

Location: West Calgary (at city’s western limit along Trans-Canada Hwy, ~15 km from downtown).
Golf Course: Valley Ridge Golf Club – public 18-hole course (par 72) set in the Bow River valley. Features beautiful natural holes along the valley and a mix of open and tree-lined fairways.
Community Overview: Valley Ridge was established in the 1990s on the site of the former Happy Valley Campground, incorporating the golf course as a central feature. It’s often called “Calgary’s gateway community” because Highway 1 runs just north of it – convenient for weekend trips to the mountains. The community itself is quiet and somewhat secluded, bordered by the river and natural ravines. Approximately 30% of homes back onto golf course or greenspace.
Home Types: Predominantly single-family homes from mid-90s to early 2000s. Many are two-storey designs with front-drive garages, plus some bungalows. A number of walk-out basements capitalize on valley or golf views. There is a newer section (The Highlands) completed in mid-2010s with larger upscale homes. No apartments or high-density housing, preserving an low-density feel.
Amenities: Within Valley Ridge is a small plaza with convenience store, pub, and services. For major shopping, residents drive 5–10 minutes to Bowness or the new Trinity Hills area by COP (Canada Olympic Park). Recreationally, aside from golf, there’s a community hall, playgrounds, and direct access to Bow River trails for biking/fishing. A new Farmer’s Market opened nearby at Greenwich. Commuters use the Trans-Canada or 16th Ave; downtown drive is ~20–25 minutes outside of rush hour.
Schools: No schools right in Valley Ridge (it’s a smaller community), but designated schools are in neighboring communities: Belvedere Parkway (K-6), Thomas B. Riley (7-9), and Bowness High. School bus service is provided and many families carpool. Bowness High, about 10 minutes away, offers a well-regarded sports training program and new engineering academy – an added draw for the area[31]. Some parents also choose private schools on the west side (Webber, Rundle College) which are a 15–20 min drive.
Market & Trends: Valley Ridge has enjoyed significant appreciation in recent years. As a relatively young neighbourhood with larger homes, it attracted move-up buyers, especially during the pandemic when space and nearby nature were prized. The average house price is ~$842K, up over 10% year-on-year. Being on the city edge, it used to be considered “far out,” but the expansion of Calgary’s west amenities (like Trinity Hills) has made it more self-sufficient and popular. Long-term residents love the tranquil vibe – it doesn’t feel like you’re in the city at all.
Golf & Lifestyle: Valley Ridge Golf Club is public, but offers memberships and is highly rated for a public course. Residents frequently buy annual passes or discount packs. The club has a very active men’s and ladies league, and its patio restaurant is somewhat a community hub in summer. Given the surrounding natural terrain, the community is occasionally visited by deer and even moose. The trade-off of the natural setting is that transit service is limited – most residents rely on cars. However, a Park-and-Ride for the LRT is only 7 minutes away at 69th Street, useful for downtown commuters.

Location: North-Central Calgary (Country Hills Blvd & Harvest Hills Blvd, ~20 minutes to downtown via Deerfoot).
Golf Course: Country Hills Golf Club – private, 36-hole facility with two distinct courses: the Links-style
Ridge course and the Parkland-style Raven course. It’s the only private club in Calgary with two full 18s, offering variety for members.
Community Overview: The golf club is nestled in the valley between several “Northern Hills” communities: Panorama Hills to the west, Country Hills & Coventry Hills to the east. Panorama Hills is Calgary’s largest subdivision, developed early 2000s with a lake and many amenities. Country Hills (and Country Hills Village) lie south of Panorama and include mixed residential and commercial. While these are separate communities, they share access to the golf course and amenities. Many upscale Panorama homes in the Estates section back onto the golf course or nose into its ravines.
Home Types: Panorama Hills offers a broad mix – starter homes, move-up two-stories, townhomes, and condos. In the Estates area (by the golf course and Panorama Drive), you find larger two-storey homes (2,000–3,500 sq ft) often with walkout basements. There’s also a pocket of luxury homes in Panatella Estates (some backing a pond adjacent the course). Country Hills, developed slightly earlier (1990s), has a mix of mid-size homes and some adult villas (Country Hills Villas) near the course.
Amenities: Excellent – this area exploded in the 2000s, so it has all modern conveniences. Country Hills Towne Centre and Creekside Shopping have supermarkets, restaurants, banks, and more. The VIVO Recreation Centre (formerly Cardel Place) offers pools, gym, library, and rinks – a major hub for families. Harvest Hills Lake and multiple parks provide recreation. A movie theater, Home Depot, Canadian Tire, etc., are all within a 5-minute drive. Connectivity is great with Stoney Trail ring road now completed in the north, making cross-city travel easy.
Schools: Panorama Hills has several schools including Panorama Hills School (K-5) and Buffalo Rubbing Stone School (K-5), Tom Baines (7-9, GATE program) for advanced learners, and John G. Diefenbaker High or Notre Dame High (Catholic) which has a strong reputation in academics and athletics. The newer Northern Lights School (K-9) also opened to serve expanding areas. Overall, families have plenty of choice including French Immersion at nearby King George.
Market & Trends: These communities benefited from Calgary’s growth – their property values climbed briskly in the early 2010s. In recent years, price increases have been steady in the 2-4% range annually, with a notable uptick in 2021. Panorama’s median home price is around mid-$500s (it has many starter homes in the mix), whereas the golf course estate homes typically trade $700K+. The sheer size of Panorama (over 7,000 homes) means a wide range of comps. Resale demand is consistently high, as first-time buyers and newcomers to Calgary often target this area for its newer homes and amenities.
Golf Club & Community: Country Hills Golf Club is family-friendly and casual for a private club – it even allows cart use to cross under public roads connecting the two courses. Many local residents join as social members to dine at the club or use the simulators in winter. Uniquely, the Raven Course has some holes adjacent to a nature preserve (Nose Creek), so homeowners sometimes get views of both golf and wetlands with migratory birds. One consideration for homebuyers: parts of Panorama are on higher terrain, which can mean wind exposure and slightly cooler temps, but also provides those open views (especially at sunset). On balance, Northern Hills communities offer an accessible suburban lifestyle with the bonus of a private golf retreat in the middle.
Other NW mentions: Bearspaw (covered in suburbs section) technically begins where NW city limits end – a popular option for those seeking acreage and luxury (as noted, Bearspaw Country Club is just minutes beyond The Hamptons). Also, Beddington/Hidden Valley border the City-owned Country Hills (Harvest Hills) Golf Course, which was a public course (closed in 2019 for redevelopment) – some homes still enjoy the former fairway green space until that project completes.
Calgary’s surrounding towns and rural areas boast some of Alberta’s finest golf course living, often with a more relaxed small-town ambiance. These communities are within 15–45 minutes of Calgary, making them viable for commuters who crave a golf lifestyle.
Location: 5 km south of Calgary’s city limits (via Macleod Trail/Deerfoot). ~25–30 minutes to Downtown Calgary.
Golf: Heritage Pointe Golf Club – a 27-hole public course (3 interchangeable 9s) consistently rated among the top public courses in Canada. Features an impressive clubhouse, practice facility, and even night-lit putting green events. Course winds through ravines above the Bow River.
Community: Heritage Pointe is an award-winning master-planned hamlet comprising several divisions: The Lake at Heritage Pointe (lake community), The Ranche (estate acreages), and Artesia at Heritage Pointe (newer luxury homes). All offer high-end living with a unifying theme of elegant architecture and open space. Many homes back onto either the golf course, water features, or open fields.
Amenities: Unusual for an acreage-style community, Heritage Pointe offers urban-like amenities nearby. A short 5-min drive leads to Seton Urban District (South Health Campus Hospital, YMCA, shopping, restaurants) and Shawnessy Town Centre. Within Heritage Pointe, there’s a local plaza (restaurant, dental, spa) at the entrance. Residents in the Lake area enjoy a private lake & clubhouse (for swimming, skating, fishing). Pathways connect various parts, and a new trail links to the Bow River pathway.
Schools: As it’s in Foothills County, public school students typically attend Okotoks schools (such as Percy Pegler Elementary, and Foothills Composite High – known for strong academics and sports). School bus service is provided. Some families opt for Calgary Catholic schools (since the city is so close) like Strathcona-Tweedsmuir (private K-12, 10 minutes west) or Bishop O’Byrne (Catholic High, 15 min north). Overall, while a short drive is required for school, the quality options nearby are numerous.
Home Profile: Homes are custom-built luxury – think estate homes on half-acre lots with triple garages, high-end finishes, often walkout basements. Architects had to follow architectural guidelines (stone facades, natural palettes, etc.), resulting in a visually harmonious streetscape. Many homes feature lavish outdoor living: decks, fire pits, built-in BBQs – perfect for entertaining after a round of golf. Builders involved: Aldebaran Homes, Greenboro, WestView, and Albi Homes (whose manager noted Heritage Pointe “shows staying power” even in slow economies). Artesia (the newest phase) has modern luxury homes by Brookfield, Homes by Avi, and Augusta Fine Homes.
Market & Notables: Heritage Pointe is synonymous with luxury – it weathered economic swings well. During the 2015 downturn, while Calgary’s high-end market struggled, Heritage Pointe saw activity continue, partly because the lots were paid off long ago allowing builders to offer value. Current prices range roughly $1M to $4M+, with the average around $1.2–1.3M. The community’s exclusivity (only ~500 homes) and unique offerings (lake + golf) make it stand out in resale. Commute is surprisingly reasonable: many residents commute to downtown or the SE business parks. They often say “coming home feels like escaping to the country”. Indeed, deer and owls are common sightings.
HOA/Fees: The Lake at Heritage Pointe has an HOA ~$1,660/yr (covers lake amenities and events). Artesia has a Homeowners Association for maintenance of ponds, landscaping, etc. (~$1500/yr). There’s no obligation to join the golf club, but many locals do for the social aspect. With the South Health Campus so close, the community is also popular among medical professionals who enjoy golfing on days off.

Location: Northwest of Calgary city, straddling Highway 1A. Key areas like Bearspaw Village are 5 minutes from city limits (Crowchild Tr), ~30 minutes to Downtown Calgary.
Golf: Bearspaw Golf & Country Club – private 18-hole course (par 71) renowned for its challenging design and beautiful scenery. After relocating in 2021, it now features a brand-new clubhouse and an upgraded course layout within the Bearspaw Country Estates area. The club has a strong reputation and a waitlist for membership.
Community: “Bearspaw” isn’t a single subdivision but rather a large rural residential area of acreages and small communities. It’s one of Calgary’s most prestigious rural addresses. Properties are typically on 2 to 4 acre parcels with custom luxury homes. Notable enclaves include Bearspaw Country Estates (surrounding the new golf course location), Church Ranches (with its own lakes), and Watermark at Bearspaw (a recent estate-home community with water features and central park). Many homes boast sweeping views of the Rockies, downtown Calgary, or both.
Home Types: Luxury estate homes and acreages. Architectural styles vary – from classic ranch-style bungalows to modern two-storey mansions. Watermark, for example, features contemporary designs on ~0.3–0.5 acre lots with high-end finishing (average home ~$1.5–2M). Older Bearspaw acreages often have traditional designs (some ’90s vintage) but on larger parcels (4+ acres) with horse allowances. There are also a few country estate condo complexes (bungalow villas) for downsizers who want the country feel without large maintenance.
Amenities: While Bearspaw is rural, amenities are closer than one might think. The new commercial hub in nearby Rocky Ridge (inside Calgary) has grocery, pharmacy, and the state-of-the-art Shane Homes YMCA (with pool, gyms, library). Also, the town of Cochrane is 10 minutes west for full services. Within Bearspaw, there’s the Bearspaw Lifestyle Centre (community hall) offering events and a farmer’s market. Acreage residents enjoy space for hobbies – many have outbuildings, gardens, even private ponds. The trade-off is you rely on a car: no transit, and longer drive for some city pursuits. But with Stoney Trail ring road now open, accessing south Calgary or the airport is convenient.
Schools: Bearspaw School (K-8) is an excellent Rocky View County public school, right in Bearspaw, known for small class sizes and strong academics. For high school, students go to Cochrane High or George McDougall (Airdrie), but many Bearspaw families choose Calgary high schools (with permission) or private schools. The nearby Bearspaw Christian School (K-12) is a popular private option located just off 1A. Given the affluent demographic, a significant number of teens attend top Calgary private schools (Webber Academy, Calgary Academy) with a ~20 min commute.
Lifestyle & Market: Living in Bearspaw is about privacy, nature, and prestige. It’s common to see residents on horseback or driving golf carts on quiet country lanes. With dark night skies, you can stargaze from your yard – a rarity so close to a major city. Real estate here has a higher barrier to entry (few properties under $1M). The market is niche but resilient; during 2020–2022, acreage properties surged in demand as people sought space. Bearspaw saw numerous sales $2M+ in the past year. The addition of communities like Watermark (voted Canada’s Community of the Year in 2014) boosted modern appeal and drew younger luxury buyers who might have otherwise stayed in the city. Expect properties to sometimes sit longer on market (unique features, higher price points) but also to hold value well long-term due to limited supply (you can’t “make” new land in Bearspaw easily).
Golf & Community: Bearspaw Golf Club serves as a social hub for many residents – golf, dining, and events. Its new clubhouse offers a spectacular patio where members enjoy sunsets over the greens. Even non-golfers benefit: the club maintains natural areas and ponds that local wildlife enjoy. Deer, moose, and even the odd black bear are part of life here (true to the name Bearspaw). Residents work together on wildlife-smart practices. There is no single HOA for Bearspaw overall, but Watermark and some subdivisions have their own (Watermark’s fee covers a private central water/sewer system and community upkeep). If you dream of a big yard, a custom dream home, and perhaps hitting the links in the afternoon, Bearspaw is unparalleled.

Location: Foothills County, ~20 km southwest of Calgary (via Highway 22X, about a 20-25 minute drive from Calgary’s SW edge). 10 minutes to the hamlet of Bragg Creek.
Golf: Priddis Greens Golf & Country Club – private 36 holes (Raven and Hawk courses) set in dense forested terrain. It’s one of Alberta’s top-ranked courses, having hosted the LPGA Canadian Women’s Open twice (1999, 2016). Known for impeccable course conditions and a serene atmosphere – no houses actually line the fairways, as the course is surrounded by trees.
Community: Hawk’s Landing at Priddis Greens is a luxury enclave adjacent to the golf club. It’s essentially a high-end subdivision carved out of the forest, with large lots (0.5 to 1+ acre) and estate homes. Think gated community vibe (though the gates are not manned) with winding roads like Hawk’s Landing Drive and Sunrise Way. Outside of Hawk’s Landing proper, the broader Priddis Greens area includes a few villa bungalow condos (Priddis Creek Drive villas) and acreage homes along the Priddis Greens Drive loop. The entire hamlet of Priddis Greens had just 267 residents in 2003 – highlighting its exclusivity and low density.
Home Types: Custom luxury homes, primarily bungalow and two-storey estates ranging from ~2,000 up to 7,000+ sq ft. Architecture is typically Timber-frame or Craftsman inspired – lots of natural stone, wood beams, and huge windows to soak in woodland views. Many have triple or quad garages (for your golf cart, of course). High-end interior features (vaulted ceilings, wine cellars, home theatres) are common. The villa bungalows offer ~1,500 sq ft up designs geared to empty-nesters, with maintenance included.
Amenities: Aside from the golf club’s dining and amenities, residents drive ~10 minutes to Priddis hamlet (which has a general store, gas, and the famous Priddis Pub) or 15 minutes to Bragg Creek (restaurants, artisan shops). Big-box needs? It’s ~20 min to Shawnessy in Calgary or to Okotoks. But the appeal here is peace and quiet. The community has tennis courts, and many residents have built backyard fire pits, play areas, even private putting greens. The Foothills offer outdoor recreation: Kananaskis Country (hiking, biking, x-country skiing) is next door. A private school bus service even runs kids into Calgary, reflecting how integrated yet removed Priddis Greens is.
Schools: Public school kids typically go to Red Deer Lake School (K-9, 15 min drive) and then Foothills Composite in Okotoks (bus available). Some attend Bragg Creek’s Banded Peak (K-8) too. Many families here choose Calgary private schools; for example, Strathcona-Tweedsmuir (K-12, IB program) is conveniently about 20 min east in Okotoks area – a popular choice for Priddis residents. There’s also a community feel where parents often arrange carpools to the city for high schoolers.
Market & Lifestyle: Homes in Hawk’s Landing start around $1M for villas, and go up to $5M+ for the most elaborate estates (e.g. a 10,000+ sq ft mansion listed at $5.7M). The typical estate sells in the $1.3–$2.0M range. The market here is somewhat niche (luxury rural), so days on market can be longer. However, during 2020-2021, this area saw a burst of interest as affluent buyers sought more space and refuge in nature. The community’s privacy and security (only one road in/out, and properties set far back from the road) are big draws for high-profile individuals and retirees alike. It’s not uncommon to see personalized golf carts zipping around the neighbourhood or even to the club. Hawk’s Landing has a modest HOA to maintain common areas and a gated front entrance feature (~$300/yr). Residents also form a tight-knit group – they organize an annual street bbq and holiday events, giving a friendly small community vibe within the forest.
Notable: Living here truly feels like resort living. As one local said, “I wake up to absolute tranquility – just birds chirping and the smell of pine. Then I drive 20 minutes into the city for work.” Because homes are on septic and well systems, one must adapt to rural utilities (water quality systems, etc.), but the trade-off is no water bills and plenty of elbow room. Priddis Greens Golf Club social life means wine tastings, Christmas galas, and charity tournaments are part of the lifestyle. For those who want luxury living in nature with a golf focus, it doesn’t get better than Priddis Greens.

Location: Chestermere, AB – a city of ~20,000 immediately east of Calgary (city limits to city limits is literally a 5-minute drive). Lakeside Greens community is on Chestermere’s north shore. Downtown Calgary is ~25 minutes west via 16 Ave or 17 Ave SE.
Golf: Lakeside Golf Club – semi-private 18-hole (par 71) known for being forgiving and fun, with water on many holes (as the name suggests). It’s been a local staple since 1990 and winds through the Lakeside Greens neighbourhood. There’s also Chestermere Golf Club (a separate 9-hole, part of the rec center) and other nearby courses like HeatherGlen within a short drive.
Community: Lakeside Greens is Chestermere’s original golf course community, featuring homes along the fairways of the golf course on the west and north sides. Chestermere in general offers a different vibe – centred on a 4.8 km<sup>2</sup> Chestermere Lake, it’s a recreational haven (boating, beach, fishing) with a mix of estate homes, suburban development, and newer subdivisions. The city has rapidly grown, adding modern schools, shopping, and amenities, but retains a semi-rural charm. Golf course homes here often have both lake and golf access (the lake is across the street in some spots).
Home Types: In Lakeside Greens, expect 1990s-built single-family homes, many custom or semi-custom. They range from bungalow and walk-out bungalows (popular with empty nesters) to large two-storeys on generous lots. Architectural styles are classic (think vaulted ceilings, oak finishes – many have since been updated). Outside of Lakeside, Chestermere has newer master-planned areas (like Westmere, Kinniburgh) with modern homes, but those are not golf-centric. A handful of estate homes south of Lakeside back onto both the golf course and canals that connect to the lake, offering unique dual amenity.
Amenities: Chestermere has bloomed from cottage town to a fully-equipped small city. There’s Chestermere Station retail (grocery, banks, restaurants) and newer developments bringing even more shops (a second major shopping area in Kinniburgh). The Chestermere Recreation Center offers fitness, curling, and hockey rinks. Of course, the lake is the main attraction: there’s a beach, marina, and parks – families spend summers waterskiing or paddleboarding. For golf residents, a quick cart ride gets you to the clubhouse for dinner at “The Point” restaurant overlooking the 9th green. Calgary’s big box stores in East Hills (Costco, Walmart) are just 10 minutes away, showing how integrated Chestermere is with Calgary life.
Schools: Chestermere has its own schools under Rocky View School Division. Lakeside Greens is served by Chestermere Lake Middle School and Chestermere High School – both well-regarded with strong sports programs (Chestermere High’s basketball team is often provincial caliber). Elementary options include Prairie Waters (K-6 English & French Immersion). Class sizes are often a bit smaller than Calgary schools, and community involvement is high – parents appreciate the safe, close-knit school environment.
Market & Lifestyle: Chestermere’s market has been very active, particularly as more people during the pandemic realized they could work remotely and sought more space. Average detached home price ~ $600-650K, slightly above Calgary’s, due to larger lots and newer stock. Lakefront properties go well into seven figures. Lakeside Greens golf homes usually sell in the $600K–$900K range depending on size and renovations, which is considered strong value for a golf course home compared to similar in Calgary proper. The lifestyle here is laid-back and community-oriented – golf tournaments, lake festivals (like winter ice fishing derby, summer water festival) and block parties are common. Neighbors know each other. One potential downside historically was commuting – but the recent expansion of 17 Ave SE and Stoney Trail means even commuting to downtown or the west end is much smoother now. Plus, many Chestermere residents simply work in NE Calgary or remotely.
Golf Community Perks: Lakeside Greens HOA is informal – a residents association handles some beautification, but fees are low (under $200/yr). There’s pride in home ownership; many houses have immaculate yards and even private docks (for those on canals). The golf course being semi-private means residents can get a membership or just pay to play on occasion – flexibility not all golf communities have. If the idea of finishing 18 holes and then taking your family out tubing on the lake sounds appealing, Chestermere is unmatched. It’s the “live at the lake and golf” package without leaving Calgary’s vicinity.

Location: Airdrie, AB – a city of ~80,000 just 10 minutes north of Calgary city limits. Woodside is a neighbourhood in northwest Airdrie. Downtown Calgary is ~30 minutes via QEII Highway.
Golf: Woodside Golf Course – 18-hole public course (par 70) known as “Airdrie’s hometown course.” It’s moderately challenging with water on a few holes and a friendly, casual atmosphere. Often hosts local charity tourneys and junior golf events.
Community: Woodside was Airdrie’s first golf course community, developed in the early 1990s. It’s a quiet, family-oriented area where many streets end in cul-de-sacs around the course. About 20% of Woodside’s homes back directly onto the golf course, while others are a short walk away. The neighbourhood features mature trees and pathways connecting through small parks and the course perimeter. Airdrie itself offers a slower pace than Calgary, with a distinct community spirit (think farmers markets, city-wide festivals).
Home Types: Primarily single-family detached homes, with some duplexes and townhomes sprinkled in. Homes range from starter bi-levels (~1200 sq ft) to larger two-storeys (~2000 sq ft) that back the course. Many homes have seen updates since the 90s (new roofs, modernized interiors). There’s also a 50+ adult bungalow villa condo complex “Woodside Estates” adjacent to the course – popular for downsizers who still want a yard backing onto greens. Compared to Calgary, lot sizes are generous for the price, and you’ll often find RV parking or triple-driveways in Airdrie due to fewer land constraints.
Amenities: Being in NW Airdrie, Woodside residents are close to essential amenities. Woodside has a neighbourhood strip mall with convenience store and a pub. The larger Shops of Airdrie and CrossIron Mills mega mall (in Balzac, on the way to Calgary) are within 10 minutes. Airdrie has all the staples: grocery stores (multiple Safeway/Save-On), restaurants, a Walmart, Canadian Tire, etc. For recreation, the Genesis Place rec centre offers pools, gym, and rinks, and Airdrie has an active minor sports scene. There are also lovely nature areas like Nose Creek Park for walks. One charming feature: Airdrie’s downtown retains a small-town feel with local shops and cafes, reflecting why many choose Airdrie for community vibe.
Schools: Airdrie schools fall under Rocky View Schools. Woodside is served by Ralph McCall School (K-5) right in the community, and Ecole Woodside (K-4 French). Middle school students go to Ecole Airdrie Middle or C.W. Perry (depending on program), and high schoolers to W.H. Croxford High (newest high school, known for its sports academies) or George McDougall High. Class sizes are typically a bit smaller than Calgary, and parents often praise the approachable, less bureaucratic feel of the school system. Airdrie also has a shuttle bus service for Calgary Catholic high schools if families prefer that. Overall, schools are decent with some newer facilities, though not as high-profile as some Calgary schools academically.
Market & Trends: Airdrie’s housing is generally more affordable – a big draw for young families. Woodside’s detached homes often range from ~$450K on the low end to $600-650K for larger golf course properties. The market in 2023–25 has been brisk; Airdrie saw record sales as people seek value outside Calgary. Over 10 years, Airdrie homes appreciated strongly (nearly doubling in some segments since early 2000s). Woodside, being established, saw steadier growth – roughly 3-5% annual, with a recent bump post-2020 as more Calgarians looked to relocate. Vacancy is low; many folks who move to Woodside stay long-term, enjoying the quiet and friendly neighbourhood where kids play street hockey and you know your neighbours.
Community Life: Woodside residents benefit from the semi-private nature of the golf course. The Woodside Clubhouse pub is a local watering hole where even non-golfers gather for Wing Wednesdays. The community association organizes things like Easter egg hunts and neighbourhood garage sale days. With relatively low crime and traffic, many describe Woodside as “Mayberry with a golf course”. One can comfortably drive a golf cart on residential streets (and some do) to get to a friend’s house. Airdrie’s only potential drawback can be wind (it’s open prairie) and being a tad cooler/snowier than Calgary in winter. But summers are glorious and you’re closer to lakes and campgrounds up north. For those working in Calgary’s north end or who don’t mind a commute, Woodside offers that elusive mix of affordable homeownership, a safe community, and daily golf rounds just outside your door.

Location: Okotoks, AB – a town of ~30,000 located 18 km south of Calgary. D’Arcy Ranch is on Okotoks’ northwest edge; Crystal Green is on the north side by Crystal Shores Lake. Commute to Calgary is ~35 minutes (25 minutes to city limits at Shawnessy).
Golf: D’Arcy Ranch Golf Club – public 18-hole (par 72) course known for spectacular foothills views and a challenging back nine. It sits on a plateau above town with the Rockies as a backdrop. Crystal Ridge Golf Course – a smaller 9-hole (par 33) course within Okotoks, with an attached mini putt and popular summer ice cream shop, oriented towards casual play and families.
Community – D’Arcy: D’Arcy is Okotoks’ newest master-planned community (launched ~2018) spanning 280 acres along the D’Arcy Ranch course. It’s designed with a modern farmhouse aesthetic, connective pathways, and future retail village. While still building out, it already features parks, a stormwater pond, and the D’Arcy Ranch course clubhouse is essentially at its doorstep. Young families are flocking here for the brand new homes and promise of amenities. Builders include Anthem, Pacesetter, Morrison – known for quality homes. Housing types: single-family (from mid $500Ks) including front-drive and laned homes, duplexes, and a future townhouse site. Many homes on the west edge have golf course or mountain views.
Community – Crystal Green: Crystal Green is a subsection of the Crystal Shores lake community, developed mid-2000s specifically around the Crystal Ridge Golf Course. It consists of single-family homes (many backing the golf fairways or ponds) and Crystal Green Manor, an adult condo apartment that also borders the course. As part of Crystal Shores, these residents have access to Crystal Shores Lake (Okotoks’ only lake) for swimming, fishing, skating – a rare amenity. Homes are typically mid-to-upscale two-storeys and bungalows by Sterling Homes, Morrison, etc., with craftsman styling. It’s an established, completed area with mature landscaping and a cohesive feel.
Amenities: Okotoks offers small-town charm with big-town convenience. From D’Arcy, a new commercial site is planned (D’Arcy Crossing) for shops and groceries. In the interim, Olde Towne Okotoks (with boutiques, cafes, and weekly farmers market) and larger retailers (Costco, Superstore, Walmart) are 5-10 minutes drive. Recreation is excellent: the Recreation Centre has pools and rinks, there’s a fieldhouse, tennis courts, and extensive walking paths especially along the Sheep River. Crystal Green residents enjoy both the lake club (beach, clubhouse) and being walking distance to the golf course’s Ridge House restaurant.
Schools: Okotoks is known for good schools under Foothills School Division. D’Arcy will have a new school (planned K-9) opening by 2025. Currently, students go to Dr. Morris Gibson or Big Rock Elementary, Okotoks Jr. High, and the acclaimed Foothills Composite High/Alberta Trade College (offers strong academics, mechanics and cosmetology programs, and elite athletics). Catholic schools (St. John Paul II Collegiate, Holy Trinity Academy) are newer and high-performing (Holy Trinity often ranks well in Alberta). Being a family-oriented town, school communities are tight-knit and involved. The addition of new schools in D’Arcy and nearby communities is keeping up with growth.
Lifestyle & Market: Okotoks provides a blend of relaxed rural living with active community life. Residents enjoy events like parades, chili cook-offs, and plenty of kids’ sports leagues – all with a scenic country backdrop. Housing in D’Arcy is brand new, so prices are set by builders (detached starting ~$550K and up). Crystal Green’s resale market is healthy; a golf-course backing home there might run ~$600-700K, while interior homes or those not on the lake are less. Okotoks overall is slightly more affordable than comparables in South Calgary, with the bonus of the lake in Crystal Shores. Over the last 10 years, Okotoks real estate appreciated modestly, with a sharper rise recently (remote work made commuting less a barrier). People who move to Okotoks often stay – it consistently ranks as one of Alberta’s best communities to raise a family. Crime is low, traffic is light, and kids can actually bike to friends’ houses.
Golf Perks: At D’Arcy, the golf course is a focal point – not only for play but as green space. The community design intentionally includes viewing points and paths along the course. There’s no HOA yet, but one may form once amenities are complete. Crystal Green has an HOA (~$263/qtr) but that primarily maintains the lake, not onerous considering year-round lake access. The Crystal Ridge 9-hole course offers a unique “golf & ice cream” atmosphere – after a round, families often go to the on-site Smitty’s ice cream shop or play mini-golf, which is a charming touch. For serious golfers, D’Arcy Ranch is the challenge, and being able to drive your cart from home to the first tee in minutes is a dream come true for many. Both communities illustrate the Okotoks mantra: “Have fun, support your neighbours, and enjoy the outdoors.”

Buying into a golf course community is a lifestyle choice with many perks – but it’s important to understand the finer details. Here are key considerations and insider tips:
In summary, Calgary’s golf course communities offer a blend of luxury, leisure, and strong fundamentals – but due diligence is key. Talk to neighbours, consult with a realtor who knows the “inside scoop” on each enclave, and envision yourself not just on sunny golf days, but year-round. If everything lines up, you could be stepping into not just a home, but a lifestyle many only dream of: waking up with coffee overlooking the greens, enjoying a round (or peaceful walk) in the evening, and knowing your investment is teed up for success.
Pro Tip: If you’re unsure which golf community fits you best, consider booking a “community tour”. Our Calgary Properties Team routinely takes clients on half-day tours to experience these neighbourhoods – we’ll visit the local coffee shop, drive the school route, even hit a few balls at the range if you’re up for it! This kind of first-hand feel can be invaluable in making the right choice.
Finding your dream home in a golf community is no small feat. These neighbourhoods are niche markets – often with unique property features, higher price points, and sometimes longer days on market. To navigate it successfully, you need the right real estate team in your corner.
Spencer Rivers, Team Lead of Luxury Homes Calgary, is one of Calgary’s most accomplished Realtors, with over 20 years experience and an enviable track record in luxury and golf course real estate.

That means we’ll give you honest, unfiltered advice – even if it’s “the bad and the ugly” about a property. For us, guiding you to the right decision is more important than just “making a sale.” It’s why so much of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals.
What our Golf Community clients say: “I was blown away by the Calgary Properties Team’s knowledge of each golf course neighbourhood. They knew which holes got noisy in June, which communities had membership waitlists, and even which houses had burnt out their sprinkler systems. That level of detail saved us from a costly mistake and we ended up in our perfect home.” – Brian & Kelly M., Woodside
