Acme Golf Club
Golfers of all ages and abilities will enjoy the relaxed, friendly atmosphere at this country-style nine-hole course about a 35-minute drive north east of Airdrie. The course features a gently rolling layout with a natural waterway that comes into play on five of the nine holes. The contoured fairways favour the big hitter with wide landing areas and forgiving rough; however, a careful approach shot to the greens is required to keep your par alive.
