Few golf clubs in Western Canada carry the kind of institutional weight that Inglewood does. Established in the early 20th century, it stands as one of Calgary's oldest golf clubs, a place where the game took root in the city long before the suburban boom pushed courses out to the fringes. The dual identity — golf and curling under one roof — speaks to the Scottish immigrant culture that shaped Calgary's early sporting life, and that heritage still flavors the atmosphere today.
The course sits in the Inglewood neighborhood on Calgary's east side, one of the city's most historic districts, hugging the Bow River corridor where the topography does real work. Tree-lined fairways, the occasional awkward lie, and a layout that rewards course management over raw power are hallmarks of these older urban designs. The par-71 configuration suggests some shorter, more strategic holes mixed into the routing.
For Calgary golfers, Inglewood represents a connection to the city's past — the kind of members' club where the game feels properly rooted rather than recently invented.
