Set against the mighty Athabasca River amongst the tall, dark pine trees and rolling greens is the Whitecourt Golf and Country Club. "We have among the best greens in Alberta." says professional golfer and director of the club Jerry Linquist proudly.

Linquist, who grew up in Whitecourt and was on the Canadian tour in 1997 and 1998 says the town's course is well maintained and seems to be getting better every year.

The course is an 18 hole, par 72 golf course equipped with a licensed lounge and a fully stocked pro shop. It was designed and built in 1991 by Les Furber, an internationally acclaimed course designer who has put together 100 courses across the world including Cuba, the U.S, Bermuda, and Switzerland. The lounge hosts several banquets throughout the year and has a full menu. The pro shop has all the top brands in the sport's equipment and apparel.
