Ralph Vold, a former top professional Canadian sportsman, was the developer of the Wolf Creek Resort. By the mid-1990s he’d established a fine 27-hole golf complex on his brother’s ranch in Ponoka, which lies between Edmonton and Calgary, with Rod Whitman routing the fairways around a substantial property.
Fast forward fifteen years to 2010 when a new 36-hole facility was unveiled at the resort and this configuration brought into play an 18-hole Old course (comprising the original East and West nines) and a new Links course, which combines the old South nine with a new Whitman-designed nine holes.
The relatively wide fairways on the new circuit of nine are particularly good, featuring huge sandy waste areas, cleverly contoured green sites and wild, fescue-fringed bunkers. The long par four 12th is a highlight hole on the new nine, encompassing a challenging centre-split fairway which blends into the adjacent 13th hole.
