A dream a decade in the making is about to become a reality as specialists forge ahead with the seeding and sodding of Mickelson National Golf Club. This milestone marks the home stretch of the construction process.
An unparalleled group of professionals, including Phil Mickelson and his design team, Oliphant Golf, Wilco Contractors, development partners Bordeaux Developments and Qualico Communities in partnership with the experts at Windmill Golf Group have been brought together to bring this project to fruition. “These individuals, in my opinion, are the best group of people and organizations ever assembled to build a golf course in Canada”, enthuses Barry Ehlert, Managing Partner/Owner, Windmill Golf Group.
“Mickelson National Golf Club is set to become one of the nation’s most prestigious and revered golf courses from the day it opens.”
The golf course is being built to bring families and community together, allow businesses a platform for relationship building and to host major and local national golf tournaments.
Upon walking his namesake course during his recent Canada Day visit to Calgary, Phil Mickelson observed, “Word is starting to get around. It’s a special place.” He further commented, “it’s even more so as you start to be able to visually see it. Now, you can see some of the dramatics of the holes. Some of the trees are planted. You can see some of the bunkering. You can get a better visual of how it’s going to look and feel and play when it’s grassed.”
