Golfing off of hoodoos

Scott Hohenstein

Good

Deep Patel

Nice little course. The back 9 is a unique experience.

John Bender

Loved it! Unique golf course in Drumheller, very reasonably priced. Round of 18 with cart for around $75. I take a group of 4 guys from Calgary every year, everyone asks to come back.

Johnny Tran

Lovely golf course but that back 9 is f’n hard! Shot a terrible round but it was still a great day.

Tyler Walker

Nice course friendly staff.

Nigel Naylor

A beautiful course. The back nine is unforgiving.

Jeff Scott

Great course for the beginner to the expert, front nine is very well kept, back nine is awesome!!

Blaine Zimmer

Golf course was fine. Always a good trip and great experience. Unfortunately we did have a very negative experience in the proshop. Booked as a …

Kevin Murray

Great track!! Pretty wild back 9!!!

Stoik Notion

Cart path needs a lot of work, they do not have a liquor license.

charles cochrane

Watch out for the back nine Wind and lack of landing areas is the challenge. Get by that and the golf is amazing.

William Wong

Starting back 9 is very nice. I enjoy this course very much

Ashley S

Great course and well maintained. Two different courses in one. Golf among the hoodoos. A must if you are in the area.

Manpreet Singh

Probably one of the best courses I've played. The front 9 weren't so bad lots of greens and flowing river near by. But when you hit the back 9. It's like a competent different course. Be prepared to lose a bunch of golf balls. There are all kinda of heights and canyons to shoot over. It's truly amazing to see. I had such a great time even though I lost a bunch of golf balls. I will definitely be back.

Craig Blasetti

Ok.. trails are bit rough.. had a nice golf cart service

Eric Fox

Challenging and very scenic back 9. Staff was top notch!

Michelle Froese

Fairways need a lot of work - it's ok course not in the best shape and over booked

Jacob Stahl

Beautiful course!

Geordie Stowell

Absolutely beautiful back nine. Breathtaking (and ball eating) layout up in the Badlands.

John

Want a place... Hidden Gem !!!

Shelly Reddy

Gorgeous course. The front 9 is completely different from the back 9. Loved it..

Betty Farmer

Great course. Back 9 very challenging.

Bradley Curnew

Had a real good time ! The back 9 hole is on a level that you need to be on your game lol or like me and my buddie Bring lots of balls . . Do yourselves a favor you need to visit Drumheller or any other little small country town you would not believe people are the best I'm there every week for this past six years and I would not trade it in for anyting

Darryl Drohomerski

Wonderful course with both a relaxing front nine and a challenging and spectacularly beautiful back nine.

Bernadette Langenkamp

Gorgeous course. The front 9 is completely different from the back 9. Loved it..

Jennifer Fisher

In great ahape a provincial golf judge said it had best greens in province this year

Emily Parizeau

We did the driving range and it was great

Bryan MacLeod

One of a kind golf course - true gem in the badlands of Alberta. An absolute must for any golfer.

Larry & Jackie Willard

Love this golf course and the unique terrain. Worth it to do at least once! I usually do it once a year!

Tyrell Scott

Beautiful course. Good value and excellent service in the clubhouse/lounge.

Ryan Smith

Absolute must play for anyone who swings clubs even once a year. Front nine is picturesque but a fairly basic layout. Greens were fantastic but fairways were a touch on the long side. I would say the greens rolled true and were quick but not lightning fast, still faster than most greens I've played on in Alberta. The Back nine is where the fun truly starts. You literally play on the tops of the HooDoo's, it's very challenging target golf with long traverses between holes and shots. The greens and fairways (what little fairway was to be had) were still in great shape up there. Truly a golf experience like no other. Pro tip: do not play the back nine from the blues, it is target golf, and will take away from your enjoyment and your golf ball supply.

Gerald Tetz

Nice course, tough, need straight shots

Robyn Keller

I like to think of the course as Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde because the the front vs back 9 are so different. Front 9 is a nice casual walk in the park that still presents some challenges with tree lined fairways and some small water hazards. I'd use the front 9 to gauge how many fairways you hit because you'll need to know if you're bringing a slice into the back 9. The back 9 is completely target golf and there's little room for miss hits. Although it's a challenge, the views are incredible and it's so fun to play. It's also good to play the back 9 a couple times or if you're lucky, with some members, to help with the blind approach shots. It gets pretty windy up top the hoodoos so take that into consideration too.

Charlotte Davidson

Tough course, but an awesome landscape

Darryl Drohomerski

Back 9 is simply one of the coolest landscapes you can witness on planet earth.

Greg Christensen

Great exciting course, a must do

Bowser Godin

Played there recently before 8am; this meant a great rate with cart (which you will need for the back 9). The course was in outstanding shape and the staff was friendly. The back 9 is an astounding setting with tee boxes and greens set up on ledges and fairways wide enough to hit but not much room beyond that before the cliffs start. Bring a camera as there is a picture at every hole on the back 9. The front 9 also has charm and brings it's own challenges without the elevation changes. I'd play there again.

Tony Ibrahim

Two feet, a hole in one...

Dennis K

I finally get to try this course. All the review is true. This course is Beauty and the Beast. The front nine is in a mature setting with lots mature trees. The back nine has beautiful scenery of the rock ages, but very difficult course to manage and you will need lots of balls. I highly recommend this course.

Dave Low

Back 9 super hard but amazing views and super wicked landscape. Its out of this world type landscape id highly recommend it. Get a full 18 like the back 9 and it'd blow everyone's mind. Loved the friendly, proactively helpful staff. Riley's course tips were a great help.

Val Avery

Awesome golf course will definitely be back and decent rates...

Melanie

Awesome course

Megan McKenzie

Fun on the range

Andrew Dewdney

Very maintained. Back 9 is incredible.

Joy U

Great food! Beautiful patio!

Sebastien Durand

Challenging back 9 on a well cared-for course. Different than your normal course. Worth traveling for!

Chantellylace E

Love this golf course and the unique terrain. Worth it to do at least once! I usually do it once a year!

Chantellylace E

Beautiful coarse. Great green fee's

Scott Woloshin

Only used the driving range, but the price was good and the club rentals were great to use!

Ryan Semchuk

On the back nine lay up on your lay up shot! But seriously, bring extra balls for the back nine. VERY challenging but definitely worth playing this course!

Michael Colbourne

Great course tucked away by the Royal Tyrell museum. The back 9 is one of the most challenging I've played in AB. Hoodoos and tight fairways mean you have to be on point with your irons. Very reasonable price with the Groupon would go again.

Cody Dale-McNair

Take 9 beer and 18 balls for the back 9, your going to need it. Fun but very challanging! Il be back soon to loose more balls!

M Herbert

Nice typical opening front nine, which then doesn't prepare you for the target golf that is required for most of the holes on the back nine.

Mike Kenney

Beautiful course. Back 9 is tough but amazing views.

Morgan Remfry

$40??? Unreal course!

John Shoff

Great course the back 9 is a little tough, just needs a beer cart!

Dennis Amato

Fantastic views and a challenging course!

Fred Wiles

A very contrasting front and back nine, and both are beautiful and fun! Very friendly and hospitable staff. Well worth the visit. The back nine is unlike any course I've played.

Bob Cromwell

New owners have made some fantastic upgrades. The course is in amazing condition.

Rachel Phillips

World class golf. The back nine is very challenging

Marion Klug

Decent track - back 9 is a not golf truly, but a blast back to Flintstones.

Dan Odynski

Back 9 is simply one of the coolest landscapes you can witness on planet earth.

Karen Peters

The front 9 is beautiful but the back 9 is out of this world. Must play (bring a few extra balls).

Sarah Yoonim Kim

Sung Lee

Great place to test your skills

Coy Rice

The back 9 is awesome.

Maria E Fernandez

Friendly staff, beautiful course! Will be golfing there again for sure!

Dale Erickson

Great front nine and target golf for the back nine. Friendly staff good food try their breakfast burrito.

Dean Weisensel

A must play

Bryce Jensen

The views on the back 9 were amazing!!

Pat Ford

Course wouldn't honor golf pass coupon, wish we knew before making the drive from edmonton, golfed, but will never go back!!!!!

Sean Donahue

Great golf courae. well maintained. friendly staff.

Doug Kozak

The front nine is the typical tree lined golf course. All these holes build to the wonder that is the back nine. The back nine is so unique, you’re playing atop the Hoodoo formations which make you feel like you’re on Mars. The course is fantastic and is a definite must play.

Taylor C

Great food! Beautiful patio!

Sandra Royal

Only did the front nine. We were advised there was new ownership sometime in the past year. Not accepting single golfers. No liquor license at this time. There were other beverages and snacks available. No merchandise available for purchase. The first nine is pretty easy ... some water, a few sand traps, minimal bush. Greens had numerous divots ... some fresh, some older. The fairways were in okay shape. The bathroom (not an outhouse) at hole seven was probably the dirtiest I've ever stepped into.

Steve Wash

Great and challenging. Amazing veiws

Vern Kuhn

5 star course unless the wind is blowing.

Wayne Copeland

I see the potential of this course to be spectacular. Front 9 is kinda normal back nine is something to see. Only complaints would be the fairways were not cut and the greens were a little beaten up. It would be very helpful to have a book on the back nine specifically as there are many blind shots and you will lose many balls if you do not know where to hit to.

Brad Foreman

Great price awesome views and the course was is tip top shape. Clubhouse has a great brunch too!

Keith Jassman

Tough back but fun

Gmck Gee

First I want to say this is a really beautiful course unlike no other I have golfed before. However, on this last trip, I did not golf there as was told when I arrived that they no longer accepted the Groupon that I had. The Groupon was purchased only a few months prior. They told me that they no longer had an account and that I could try and get money back from them. I was a little peeved at this as this is all they said when I mentioned that I was from a few hours away and had made a special trip to golf at their course, as I have done every summer. They didn't offer any other solution ( ie. A discounted round as I was already there perhaps). Anyway, I felt that they perhaps should have honored the coupon and tried to get the money from Groupon themselves. They would have had two very happy golfers that would have continued to come back time and tee time, again. Instead, I'm left feeling if I even want to support the course in the future.

arpit kapila

Great place to golf! Clean and well kept!

Morgan Eros

In my experience, if you're travelling and get hungry... look for a golf course with a clubhouse. Chances are, you're going to find a good menu with items prepared by good cooks. This clubhouse falls into that category. Expensive, …

Gary Lomenda

Beautiful coarse. Great green fee's

Luke McFadyen

An absolute must play course! One of a kind course in fantastic shape!

Roger Pelletier

Take 9 beer and 18 balls for the back 9, your going to need it. Fun but very challanging! Il be back soon to loose more balls!

Arlene Wahl

Beautiful a Golfers Dream

Barb Maisonneuve

4 nine rolling beautiful course. Back 9 hard but breathtaking

Allan Hemmings

Oh yes I'm definitely coming back to Dinosaur Trail Golf Resort it doesn't tame me I tame it

Mark McLeod

A great club in the country

Cory Miles

5 star course unless the wind is blowing.

Gary Brown

Back nine cart paths are in terrible condition, almost dangerous in places. Worth playing once as the vistas are unique but won't rush back.

Ryan Szol

Improved clubhouse, and a back 9 that you can talk about for months. Just make sure you come loaded up with golf balls that you aren't emotionally attached to. Will be back many times to come

Robert Nimmo

Get at least 2 games in here every summer. Great fish and chips in restaurant

Brandi Avery

**NO LIQUOR LICENSE** this was something at one time, but it's run down now. Clubhouse is a waste of time. They couldn't even heat up a hot dog- seriously. The course is definitely worth checking out though. The back 9 is unique with the hoodoos and a completely different terrain than the front 9. Just bring your own food and drinks, and you'll leave with a great experience.

Samer Kobrosly

Very nice driving range, not crowded and you drive off grass not mats. What is really cool is driving balls into the bad lands (nature). Not really sure how they collect the balls though! The only downside is that the range is far from the club house and you have to walk all the way over there. We asked the cart boy to drive us to the range and he refused saying it is not allowed, so we were walking over there and he drove past us to the range with an empty cart as if we did not exist. That was kindda rude and inconsiderate. I guess the cart boy is the one who will be walking through rough rocky lands to pick up the balls after all!

Steve Klimuk

Front 9 is country club style with huge trees lining the fairways, quite flat but still a bit challenging. Back 9 is amazing!!! Lots of target golf, great views, and super challenging. Badlands in every direction, from deep and steep …

Mike Alldread

I've seen some reviews complaining about the condition of the course, so I was expecting a unique experience with some incredible views but poor conditions. A course you play ones to say you have. Well I was wrong, the course is in excellent condition. Greens run fast and true, think rough, well maintains fairways. If anothing, some of the tee boxs may have needed to smallest amount of work, but thats nit-picking. Staff are incredibly friendly, course is challenging but incredible, couldn't recommend this course enough.

sean williams

We love this course. Used to play it all summer when we had a trailer site at Hoodoo RV resort but try to get here at least once a year. Thanks Tommy for sneaking us in on your tournament weekend.

Martha McDiarmid

We did the driving range and it was great

Andrew Nason

True course is beautiful, the back 9 however is a challenge to tell where the greens are with most tee shots being blind.

Mike Larson

Front 9 old school...back 9 is a blast.

Ernst Rietmann

Beautiful a Golfers Dream

Don Carter

Great shape. Beautiful night for 9

redlinejcw

Amazing gem of a golf course. We went in the fall when the rest of Alberta was in winter prep mode and it was still gloriously warm and sun baked at this course. Like a little slice of Phoenix at home. The front 9 and back 9 are totally …

김명희

Challenging

Lindy MacLeod

Nice scenery!

Peter Yee

Very nice place to play a 4 man tournament

Jane Cole

This is a course that you will never play anywhere else. The front nine is a beautiful nine holes plush fairways tree lined. Then we get to the back, wow this nine is played in the badlands fairways are narrow, greens are nice, just very different nine holes from the front. My husband and myself really enjoy the challenge this course offers.

Rafael Talavera

Nice course at a good price

Brian Hjlesvold

A very challenging golf course especially the back 9. The back 9 demands accuracy off the tee box and great course management to maneuver the ball to the hole. If your golf swing is sub par then be prepare to rehit many golf balls adding up the penalty strokes. The course is well maintained from tee box to green. I love the golf course and can't wait to back to Dinosuar Trail Golf Course. Oh yes, the food is very good as well.

Steve Fry

Great variety of terrain. Hoodoos are fun challenge. Sand and water were interesting.

Ainslie Macfarlane

Really great back 9. So different from the front 9

Robert Dionne

Nice course at a good price

Ron McLeod

Beautiful course but that is all. The guy taking tee times wasn’t very friendly. I don ‘t think he liked his job. We played 9 holes( there were 4 of us from out of town ), We could not use 3 Green’s as they were sanding them. When we …

Tim Froese

True course is beautiful, the back 9 however is a challenge to tell where the greens are with most tee shots being blind.

Darryl Zelisko

Amazing course. Back nine is brutal.

Andrea Kibblewhite

Fun course. Back 9 is challenging, but the front 9 was beautiful.

Roxy Murphy

The course is great a bit more challenging on the back nine. but the views especially with fall colors just Beautiful. It serves food but wouldn't count on it we tried for breakfast and the offered a hot dog

Tiffany Milton

I did not go through out the trail but I really like the small church. It is simple but you can feel the sacredness and the dedication of who made it.

Gary Storrs

Awesome course. The back 9 is a lot of fun!

Steven Barlow

Very DISAPPOINTING & FRUSTRATING. Played the course Saturday August 28th and understood being a Saturday it may take a bit longer but over 5 hours and that was even after we finally drove off the course at 17 as the waits between holes had become completely ridiculous. I called the pro shop at hole 6 where there were three groups standing and waiting. Watched a pro go by but nothing changed. Brought it up again at the turn and again nothing changed other than seeing three groups pack up and leave. Hoped it would change on the back nine but after the first hole (10) we were back into the 10 to 15 minute waits. Will never return or recommend this course. Not worth the money, very gimmicky and staff who don’t care. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY

Big john Fleming

Stop down for lunch.... smaller menu food was good....

Derek Martin

The best course so far. Food is the ticket to a great game. The buttermilk fried chicken the best north of the Pacos

Lyn Langstaff

Real challenge here is the back nine built into the hoodoos with elevated T Boxes hitting into blind landing spots. Very picturesque although the whole 18 was dry and hard packed. Greens not bad.

Fred Gardner

Nice front nine, bugs were pretty thick though

Cody F

First I want to say this is a really beautiful course unlike no other I have golfed before. However, on this last trip, I did not golf there as was told when I arrived that they no longer accepted the Groupon that I had. The Groupon was …

Mr. G Dean

Challenging course, bring extra balls for the back 9
