Silver Springs Golf and Country Club

What Silver Springs Golf and Country Club does

Silver Springs Golf and Country Club is a member-owned, private equity golf club established in 1970 and located at 1600 Varsity Estates Drive N.W. in Northwest Calgary, Alberta. The club operates an 18-hole golf course across more than 300 acres of coulees and plateaus, approximately 15 minutes from downtown Calgary, with views of the Rocky Mountains. It serves golf enthusiasts, families, and social members in the Northwest Calgary corridor, and also markets its facilities for weddings, corporate events, and banquets.

The club's core offering centers on two membership tiers — Equity Membership (full golf access with ownership/voting rights) and Social Membership (clubhouse, dining, and social events without golf access) — priced annually on a subscription basis, with specific pricing not publicly disclosed. Supporting revenue streams include clubhouse dining (fine dining, patio, The Turn snack shop), full-service catering and events, and member-funded capital programs such as the Irrigation Replacement Project (a $1,500 per shareholder assessment over 3 years and a $50/month facility improvement fee). Ancillary technical capability includes Trackman Range technology on the practice facility, and the course achieved Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary certification in 2020, placing it among approximately 80 certified courses in Canada.

Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven: prospective members contact the Membership & Communications Manager directly or complete inquiry forms for tours and personal outreach. Marketing relies on member referrals, the company website (including a digital membership booklet), email communications via Mailchimp, and event-hosting marketing. Distribution is direct and on-site, with no external parent company or subsidiaries identified. Operations are governed by a member-elected Board of Directors, and key personnel include a Head Professional (Randy Hunter), Course Superintendent (Lance Morris), Membership & Communications Manager (Maddy Roland), Office Manager (Raelene Lehner), and Banquet & Events Manager (Nadine Gingras).
