Hanna Golf & Country Club

Alberta, Canada

Hanna Golf & Country Club is an 18-hole golf course located in Hanna, Alberta. The course evolved significantly from its humble origins as a 9-hole layout featuring sand greens into a modern championship course. Redesigned by Golf Design Services (Les Furber and Jim Eremko) in the early 1980s, the original nine holes were completely reimagined to create a challenging layout. The expansion to 18 holes was completed in 2006, with the back nine also designed by Golf Design Services after two years of planning and construction. The course is characterized by its prairie setting and demanding conditions, particularly through its signature "amen corner" at holes 5 and 6, which test golfers severely in northwest winds. The layout incorporates several memorable features, including remnants of the original sand greens visible on hole 3. The course underwent major infrastructure improvements including full irrigation installation in the early 1970s and an automated high-output irrigation system in the mid-1990s. Throughout its history, the club has been defined by member-driven improvements and community support, reflecting its strong ties to the local Hanna area.
