Calgary, AB (June 9, 2015) – Windmill Golf Group is proud to announce that construction has begun on its newest championship golf course, Mickelson National Golf Club, just west of Calgary in beautiful Rocky View County at the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Barry Ehlert, Managing Partner of Windmill Golf Group, is developing Mickelson National Golf Club as a centerpiece of Harmony, a 1,750-acre community built by partners Qualico Communities and Bordeaux Developments.
“This announcement has been seven years in the making” said Ehlert “It’s a dream come true and to have Phil Mickelson and his team involved makes that wait absolutely worthwhile”
The gently rolling foothills are being transformed, with shaping reflective of the mountains, water features and sensational landscaping to accentuate the golf course design. The goal is to open the course for play in fall of 2017.
“I’m thrilled that we’ve begun work on a project we’re confident will be one of the outstanding courses in Canada,” said Mickelson. “The land and setting give us a great opportunity to create a versatile course that will both challenge the world’s best players and be great fun for amateurs of all levels.”
Mickelson’s first design was Whisper Rock in Scottsdale, Az. PMD has completed successful projects in Kunming and Shanghai, China.
“At Mickelson National Golf Club,” said Ehlert, “our goal is to set new standards in providing a vibrant and exciting golfing experience – we’re investing in creating Canada’s flagship club.”
Harmony Developments Inc., Birol Fisekci said, “When you’re talking about a place as special as Rocky View County, you really do need to build projects that do it justice. Having a golf facility of such a high caliber, built by the best and that will attract and potentially create the game’s top players, only makes sense in Harmony and Springbank.”

Calgary, AB (May 13, 2015) Windmill Golf Group and Wolf Creek Golf Resort announced today, a strategic partnership. This partnership brings together both companies’ strengths in the golf business which will allow both parties to grow and offer expanded facilities to their customers.
“We are extremely excited about this partnership and the opportunities it brings to Wolf Creek Resort today and in the future,” said Ryan Vold, President of Wolf Creek Golf Resort. “Windmill Golf Group is an industry leader and we feel confident that aligning ourselves with a proven winner will create a win-win situation for our customers.” Wolf Creek Golf Resort – a 36 Hole Golf Facility in Ponoka, AB – is a Rod Whitman classic that continuously has grown and refined itself as one of the top courses in Canada and across the world. The land, located in a sand belt, was perfectly suited for the type of golf course the Vold Family wanted to build.
With course designer Rod Whitman, they walked the land and started to develop some ideas for what was to become “A Legend”. A fixture for 13 years on the Canadian Tour, Wolf Creek hosted the Alberta Open, receiving worldwide publicity and exposure as one of the world’s best courses as touted by young touring professionals.
“The Windmill Golf Group is very excited about its strategic partnership with Wolf Creek Golf Resort and the Vold Family” adds Barry Ehlert, Managing Partner of Windmill Golf Group. “It’s important for us to choose only the finest Golf Courses and Operators to align ourselves with and through this alliance, we have done just that.”
About Windmill Golf Group: Windmill Golf Group’s roots began in the 1950’s when Lawrence Ehlert – who managed a small 9 hole golf course in Southern Alberta for 30 years – expanded the course to 18 holes. Lawrence’s son, Ron, grew up working at the golf course and was later involved with the design and construction of dozens of golf courses around Alberta including some local courses such as Elbow Springs Golf Club, McCall Lake and Lakeside Greens. Ron Ehlert owns Elbow Springs and is President of Windmill Golf Group creating a stepping stone for his son, Barry. Barry Ehlert continues the family legacy with a huge enthusiasm for golf and the golf business. He is a leader in his own right as Owner and Managing Partner of The Hamptons, Boulder Creek, Silverwing Links, Harvest Hills, Springbank Links Golf Clubs located in Calgary as well as The Wilderness Club in Montana.
About Wolf Creek Golf Resort: Over 30 years ago, Ralph Vold, Founder purchased the land that would become Wolf Creek Golf Resort in a truly Albertan Fashion- with cash and cattle. The Vold Family transformed the former farmland into a world-class course that opened its doors in 1984. Wolf Creek Golf Resort quickly garnered attention and acclaim after hosting The Alberta Open and the Canadian Tour within a few short years.

Breaking News: Kananaskis Country Golf Course just posted this message on their Facebook page:
Dear Friends:
It is with a heavy heart that we announce Kananaskis Country Golf Course is closed for the 2013 season.
Record rainfall has caused severe flooding throughout our valley, making both the Mt. Kidd and Mt. Lorette layouts impassable. While we cannot measure damage until the waters of our rivers and creek beds recede, it will be some time before the courses will be playable.
Full refunds will be given to all with a confirmed tee time, including corporate golf groups. For the time being, we ask that calls to the golf course are limited to those urgent in nature, as we will be operating with limited staff during this time.
We are thankful that our staff and their families remain safe, and deeply appreciate your support and patience as our community recovers. We will continue to update our website (www.kananaskisgolf.com) and Facebook/Twitter with news as is warranted.
Our thoughts remain with those in our region during this time.
Sincerely,
Darren Robinson
General Manager
Wow! This really sucks! Here’s to hoping they come back strong in 2014 nicer then ever before.
