Waterton Lakes Golf Course Staff

The staff members at the Waterton Lakes Golf Course are dedicated to doing their best to provide you with the best conditions to enable you to enjoy your day. the greens crew work hard to keep the course well watered and trimmed for your golfing pleasure while the Clubhouse and Pro Shop people strive to make everything top notch for your enjoyment. We all feel that it is our commitment to ensure that your experience at the Waterton Lakes Golf Course is very positive and a memorable one.

Pro Shop

We have a pro shop with a staff of knowledgeable people who are 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. They will help you to arrange tee times and assist you in the selection of the various articles for sale in the shop.

Clubhouse

The clubhouse is staffed with delightful servers and talented chefs who will do their utmost to ensure that your drinks and meals are prepared and served with care for your enjoyment. 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. The link below will take you to a short video of one of our quality control staff members busily testing a gourmet specialty dish prepared in the kitchen.

Grounds Staff

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 needs to prepare the greens, cut fairways and rough areas and maintain the buildings just like any other course, but they also need to repair marks made by the deer and elk on the greens and evenly distribute the "fertilizer" supplied by the wildlife at times.

Grounds Staff members include Course Superintendent Martin Peterson and his most capable staff.

With the recent problems most businesses have had with attracting and hiring staff, we have had to resort to imaginative measures by using the local animals in a variety of capacities. For example, the bear below is selecting a spot to place the flag on the seventh green. Next shot shows her inspecting the way the flag is hanging while the final picture shows the apprentice cub checking that the flag stick is properly anchored in the cup.

The mother bear acts as a journeyman groundskeeper while she shows the cubs how to complete the work needed to be done on the course and, as the shots below show, the apprentices are eager to complete the assigned work.

Moving the sprinklers.

Learning to adjust the guy lines.

Making sure the lines are tight.

The next shot shows one of the cubs putting out the markers for the tee boxes. The final pictures link to a video of the bears making sure that any hole in one is legal. We call this group the "Hole in One Inspectors". This video has been the most visited video we have posted to date.

This is a shot I took while supervising members of our "natural" grounds crew staff cutting and fertilizing the lawn at the staff house in preparation for the new human workers to move in. They do an amazing job of preparing the lawns for summer.

Administrative Staff

Operations Manager Wayne Hollander and Office Administrator Ashley Wright deserve much of the credit for providing the working environment where the type of course we have is possible. Wayne outlines the expectation that our job is to do everything in our power to assist our patrons in having a most enjoyable experience at Waterton Lakes Golf Course. This mandate makes it possible for us to expand our individual job descriptions to make the course a very relaxed and rewarding place to both work and play.
