Calgary's two-day municipal golf tournament tees off Aug. 1 at Shaganappi Point

Golfers of all skill levels play Shaganappi Point on Saturday and Maple Ridge on Sunday, in a City of Calgary event organizers describe as being about community as much as competition.

Golfers Tee Off for a Weekend of Community, Competition and Camaraderie

Golfers of all skill levels tee it up this weekend at two City of Calgary municipal golf courses, with the 2026 edition of the tournament beginning Saturday, August 1, at Shaganappi Point Golf Course and continuing Sunday, August 2, at Maple Ridge Golf Course.1

Tee times at Shaganappi Point, at 1200 26 St. S.W., begin at 12 p.m. on the Saturday. Tee times at Maple Ridge, at 1240 Mapleglade Dr. S.E., begin at 8 a.m. on the Sunday.1

The city announced the event on July 30. There is no entry fee, prize purse or field size in the evidence, so what the tournament is worth in dollars is not known.1

The weekend is designed to bring people together, foster new connections and create lasting memories, according to the City of Calgary. Players will be encouraged to challenge themselves, meet fellow golf enthusiasts and experience what the city calls the unique sense of camaraderie that has long made golf a community-building sport.1

The event is open to golfers of all experience levels, and the city says participants can expect a welcoming atmosphere where they can learn from one another. Competition is part of the fun, but the lasting takeaway is the friendships, conversations and sense of connection that develop throughout the event, according to Todd Moon, the city's Golf Business Development Coordinator.1
