The Ranch Golf & Country Club

The Ranch Golf & Country Club is an award-winning 18-hole public championship golf course located in Acheson, Alberta, just five minutes west of Edmonton. Designed by Bill Robinson and John F. Robinson, the course opened in 1991 and has consistently been ranked among Canada's top public golf courses. The layout combines two distinctly different nines, offering golfers a memorable round that blends links-style golf with traditional parkland design. The front nine features wide fairways, native grasses, and a links-inspired layout that encourages strategic shot-making. The back nine transitions into mature forest, with narrower, tree-lined fairways, dramatic elevation changes, and water hazards that demand accuracy and thoughtful course management. One of the course's most famous features is the challenging finishing hole, regarded as one of the toughest closing holes in Alberta. Measuring 6,522 yards from the championship tees, the par-71 layout provides an enjoyable challenge for golfers of all skill levels through multiple tee options and consistently excellent course conditions. The Ranch features a full driving range, putting and short-game practice areas, PGA professional instruction, a fully stocked golf shop, the Red Wheel Pub & Grill, and first-class facilities for tournaments, corporate outings, weddings, and special events. Known for its outstanding conditioning, friendly atmosphere, and exceptional value, The Ranch Golf & Country Club remains one of the Edmonton area's premier public golf destinations.
