This was the first year for my wife to get seriously into golf and we played here about once a week over the summer. Shaganappi is a great place for new players to get their feet wet. It is a beginner-intermediate course with very forgiving (read: wide) fairways with decent length to be challenging yet not overwhelming.
We really enjoy playing the Valley 9 because it is well maintained and fun to play. It is also easy to walk. It's a great way to get out for a couple of hours and enjoy the sunshine plus get some good exercise. We have also been lucky to have played with very friendly and fun people each time out this year.
