Fort Macleod holds the distinction of not only being the first golf course in Alberta, but also the oldest layout in Canada west of Winnipeg. Golf has been played on this land since 1890 when it was just a series of grassy flats neaer the old Northwest Mounted Police Fort. Over the years many historical relics from the fort have been dug up, and some of these are on display in the Fort Museum.
