Like most championship links, Muirfield is a beast in high wind when the otherwise generous driving areas shrink and avoiding the deep hay and punishing pot bunkers turn it into a test of survival. The course begins with a right-bending par four that in every way sets the tone for the round, thread the eye of a needle off the tee or approach the green with your third. Better moments to follow include strategically bunkered par fours at the 6th and 8th, the long 9th which heads along an out of bounds stone wall, the gorgeous short 13th and one of the sternest closing runs in the game. The real highlight of Muirfield, though, is the bunkering and the contouring of the green surrounds. The 3rd green, set attractively between the dunes, is a stunning example as are beautifully protected targets at 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 15 and 16.

The Lakes of Muirfield offers a quiet haven away from the demands of urban life. Being only 35 minutes away from downtown Calgary and 25 minutes away from the airport, Muirfield retains a close proximity to city, but without the associated stress. Upon completion of Stoney Trail (Calgary’s new ring road), access into Muirfield will become even more convenient.
