I was skeptical after reading some of the reviews on this site.. but now I have to wonder if these people played the same course. The one near Edmonton, at Sherwood Park, AB, right??? The course layout was world class - I wouldn't expect any less from a Nicklaus Signature course. The course condition was superb - tee boxes, fairway... More

We played here inAugust and we were expected good conditions. The courses dead, green with no grass, fairways that are dirt - it is a disgrace and hard to believe that Nicklaus would put his name o this disaster!

There's nothing they can do about it since all the water hazards where they... More

Great golf course. Excellent hole designs. Great service from all staff. A definite recommend to all golfers. Escellent club hose and food facilities. Looking forward to retruning for another round. More

The greens are pure, fairways mint... More

Edmonton has been longing for a course like Northern Bear.Designed by argueably the greatest golfer of all time, Northern Bear is only Jack Nicklaus' second signature golf course in Canada.It is simply the best layout in Alberta, quite possibly Canada.Northern Bear is a world class facility which houses a phenomenal practice facility and an amazing clubhouse. Everyone should go out... More
