Calgary war hero Fred McCall, a World War I flyer, is the namesake for this very popular municipal golf course. It was designed by another person familiar to Albertans, Bill Newis, who is responsible for many highly regarded courses around the province.

At 6788 yards over its 18 holes, McCall Lake possesses championship length, gently rolling fairways and moderately contoured greens. Play here is wide open with few trees to hamper your game.

You will, however, need to keep a watchful eye out for water as it appears as a hazard on nine of McCall's holes.

Most daunting of the water holes is the 9th. A 406 yard par four dogleg around water, golfers from the tee are given the option of cutting the corner of the dogleg and driving directly for the green. From the men's tee this feat requires a powerful 264 yard drive - 258 of those yards over water. A great test of golfing skill and moxie.

McCall Lake Golf Course also offers a fast playing 9 hole par 27 course, that is ideal for novices and golfers with only enough time for a quick round.
