Lush fairways complemented by immaculate greens and edged with elegant spires of jackpine and spruce define The Dunes – northern Alberta's premier golf course. With views of the Wapiti River valley and glimpses of natural wildlife, this 18-hole public course is as picturesque as it is challenging.From long fairways that let you release a full, relaxing swing to our short, 122-yard third hole that sees the most golfers leaping with glee as they join our Hole-in-One Club, The Dunes has opportunities for everyone to enjoy a perfect day on the course.Located on Resources Road, just four kilometres south of Grande Prairie's city limits, The Dunes has multiple tee boxes that offer four lengths of play – gold, blue, white, and red. And, when the day is done, you can unwind further with a beverage, snack or meal in our fully-licensed club house or on one of our pleasant balconies overlooking either the 9th or 18th greens.

FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing The Dunes Golf & Winter Club and what to expect.
Players often find The Dunes Golf & Winter Club technically exacting. This slope level makes it manageable compared to championship venues. The course rating of 71.1 reflects on scoring relative to par 71.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 5860 yards. The back tees extend to 6450.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 71.1 and par 71, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 71 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
Stretching to 6450.0 yards from the back tees, it does not overwhelm length but rewards accuracy.
The course follows a traditional Parkland design philosophy. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
The combination of a slope rating of 128.0 and yardage reaching 6450.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
