The glorious foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains will soon become the new home of a championship golf course. Phil Mickelson Design (PMD) was recently signed to create the golf course for a spectacular planned community west of Calgary.
Barry Ehlert, Managing Partner of Windmill Golf Group, is developing Mickelson National Golf Club of Canada as a centerpiece of Harmony, a 1,700-acre community built by partners Qualico Communities and Bordeaux Developments.
“I could not be more excited about the partnership we’ve formed for my first signature golf course in Canada,” said Mickelson. “The Calgary area has a huge number of golf fans and players and we plan to create an outstanding golf course – one that’s both fun for amateurs and challenging enough to host the world’s best players in a PGA Tour event.”
The design process is in progress with the groundbreaking planned for this fall and full construction taking place in 2015.
