RELATIONSHIP with the CITY
The Victoria Golf Course is owned by the City of Edmonton. Operation of the club house facilities is contracted out by the City to outside vendors. Leagues are totally separate and are only supported by the course administration through negotiated tee times that are blocked off on certain days for various league play. The Victoria Ladies Golf Club has an Executive Committee, elected by the members, to run its affairs. The club is not a legal entity under any government legislation, but the Executive Committee can establish policies and guidelines to facilitate its operation as outlined in the Bylaws.
If you have questions, feel free to ask any member of the executive, other ‘experienced members’, the pro-shop staff or use the Contact Us link on the left side of this page to send us an email.
