Golf Teaching Professional : River Spirit Golf - Calgary AB
We choose the path less traveled, unless we’re in our golf carts (then please use the actual path!).
We’re putting a new spin on an old game because we know that every good tradition needs a shake up once in a while. Here at RSGC, we’re more about connection and less about perfection. We're relentlessly enthusiastic about getting people out on the green, whether it’s their first time or their swing has been years in the making.
We like to think that our adaptability sets us apart in an industry where everything can be rigid and highly traditional. We’re flexible in our approach because we truly believe that the game of golf is for everyone, and everyone’s needs are a bit different.
We know that golfers tend to be happy people (studies show it - we’re not just pulling that out of thin air), and we consider it an honour to facilitate that experience. Whether it’s the fresh smell of grass, the exquisite scenery of the course, or the allure of a crispy beer on the patio at the end of the day, we can guarantee you’ll leave feeling revitalized. There’s something special about golfing and it shouldn’t just be reserved for the pros.
With two decades under our belt, we’ve managed to create an environment where you can unwind, feel welcome, and refresh. At River Spirit, we know your name, and if you’re ready to get out of the city, we’re here - only 30 minutes away.
Come for the golf, stay for the scenery, come back for the feeling.
