D'Arcy Ranch Golf Club, Okotoks

D'Arcy Ranch Golf Club is located just south of Calgary's city limits and is set above, over and often along ranch land coulees, mini valleys carved by ancient creeks and rivers. Trees are sparse, with the challenge instead being rolling terrain and well-protected landing areas and greens. The course plays anywhere from 5,600 to 6,900 yards, with a slope rating as high as 130. The club is considered one of the better public tests in the area.
