Day 2: Hardisty & Sedgewick
Morning Round: Hardisty Lakeview Golf Course
Start your first full day of the Flagstaff Golf Tour with 9 holes at Hardisty Lakeview Golf Course. Set on rolling hills overlooking Hardisty Lake, this scenic course offers beautiful views, well-kept fairways, and a peaceful setting to ease into the day. Golfers can expect a mix of open fairways, tree-lined holes, strategically placed bunkers, water hazards, and undulating greens that add just the right amount of challenge.
The course is also known for its relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and strong sense of community. As you make your way around the course, keep an eye out for local wildlife and take time to enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you.
Lunch: The Leaf in Hardisty
After your morning round, head into Hardisty for lunch at The Leaf Sports Pub. Located on 49th Street, The Leaf offers a welcoming pub atmosphere with a mix of family-friendly dining and a modern sports bar feel. It is a great place to refuel between rounds, catch a game, enjoy a casual meal, and relax before heading to your afternoon tee time in Sedgewick.
Afternoon Round: Sedgewick Golf Club
Spend the afternoon at Sedgewick Golf Club, a nine-hole course located along Highway 13 on the north side of the Town of Sedgewick. This 3,163-yard, par 36 course is a great stop for golfers of all levels, with mature trees lining the manicured fairways and bent grass greens that offer a smooth, quick roll.
The course is enjoyable to walk, but still brings plenty of challenge with bunkers, strategically placed water, and subtle breaks on the greens. Accurate iron play will come in handy here. Golfers can also warm up or work on their game at the practice facilities, including a driving range and putting greens.
Evening: Pizza on the Way Back to Camp
After your afternoon round at Sedgewick Golf Club, take the scenic route back to camp with a supper stop at the Strome Hotel. Grab a pizza to enjoy there or take back to Edgerton Day Campground for an easy, no-fuss evening after a full day on the course.
