The Present

The Present

Nordegg's Historic Golf Course, still operational in present day, incorporated parts of the original Nordegg Golf Course.

The present-day course crosses over a small portion of the historic Native Connector Trail.

As well, Number Seven Tee-off extends into the area which once was part of the Nordegg Forestry Station lawn.

Located in the Valley of the Shunda, the Nordegg Golf Course is a relaxed, family oriented course surrounded by a great deal of history, as well as beauty.

Very little of the old Nordegg remains today. It now is a ghost town, visited by thousands of people every year, who come from countries throughout the world. People drive and walk these streets, trying to imagine how it once was __ a thriving community which approached a population figure of close to 3000 people during "boom" years, when the mines were working steadily.

But the Nordegg Catholic Church, now a non denominational church, is still in use today.

Completed in 1936, this building maintains its connection to the past, while operating very much in the present. Services are held here each week, and it has become a popular spot for weddings, as well.

In 1999, the old church bell was returned to Nordegg, and re installed in the belfry. Each week, the deep, resonant tones of this bell, cast in the likeness of the Liberty Bell, peals out through the Shunda Valley.
