Pine Hills Golf Club has countless scenic views and balances challenge with beauty. The course started as a 9-hole layout until it was redone by Alberta Golf Distinguished Service Award winner Sid Puddicombe in 1989. The course has been a big supporter of women’s golf playing host to both Women’s and Women’s Senior events multiple times in the last 30 years. In 1997, Pine Hills hosted the Woman’s Amateur which was won by Jessica Luciuk. 

The Woman’s Senior has seen many great champions over the years including Hall of Fame players like Diane Williams, Marilyn O’Connor, Betty Stanhope-Cole, and Pat Heisler. It’s also seen a variety of other great champions including Shirley Bacon, Cathy McMillan, Cheryl Van Dornick, Jackie Little, Kim Carrington, and Lynn Kuehn.

Pine Hill’s Head Professional Richard Vernon says having this event back in Rocky Mountain House 5 years later is a thrill for everyone involved.

“We’re very excited and we’re very proud to host the 2024 Alberta Women’s Senior Championship this summer with the alignment of Alberta Golf to bring this great golf tournament back to Pine Hills from 2019,” Vernon said. “Hosting this historic tournament gives us the opportunity to share our championship golf course and challenge the top players in Alberta. The local golf community at Pine Hills will come together for this tournament and will be supported by the volunteer spirit for which Rocky Mountain House is known for.”
