New General Manager:

I would like to start by wishing everyone a Happy New Year and a great golf season for 2011. My name is Derrick Hawes and I will be taking over as General Manager of Golf Operations.

Here is a little background information about myself: I first became a Member of the British PGA at the Royal Norwich Golf Club where I started to play golf as a junior at age 14. At the age of 10, I went to Bermuda to be an assistant professional, and then had positions in Montreal, Edmonton and Red Deer as an Assistant Professional. I was then on to Calgary where I accepted the position of Head Professional at the Inglewood Golf & Curling Club. After 10 very good years serving a great membership at Inglewood, my wife Marianne & I moved to Radium Hot Springs where I took the position as Head Professional / Manager of Golf Operations at the Springs at Radium where I spent a further ten years. Upon leaving the Springs at Radium, I was with the Jim McLean Golf School in Calgary and most recently as Head Professional at the Grand Prairie Golf and Country Club for the past 4 years. Marianne and I are both very happy to start a new adventure and to be associated with the Waterton Lakes Golf Course. Marianne was born and raised in Lethbridge and spent many summer days in Waterton. I am also very pleased to have the opportunity of working with the Board of Directors of the Waterton Parks Community Association, the Golf Course Committee and the entire membership, to continue to improve our great facility.

Grounds Crew

The grounds staff at the Waterton Lakes Golf course need to overcome a variety of problems that are not common to golf courses elsewhere. We are in a national park and so the wildlife (including plants) fall under a more stringent set of rules for dealing with them. The grounds team uses state of the art equipment to groom the greens, cut fairways and maintain the course for your golfing pleasure. They also need to repair marks made by the deer and elk on the greens and evenly distribute the "fertilizer" provided by the local wildlife.

Pro Shop

Our pro shop staff are knowledgeable people more than willing to assist you in making a tee time, trying on some of the selections of clothing that we have available or giving advice on how to make your stay in the park an enjoyable one. Please feel free to arrange for your tee times and browse through the pro shop to find quality items to improve your Waterton Experience.

Clubhouse

Our clubhouse is staffed with delightful servers and talented chefs who will do their utmost to ensure that your meals and drinks are prepared and served with care. Try one of the menu selections and wash it down with a hot drink on a cold day or a cool beverage when the warm weather returns.
