“We’re very lucky with the courses we have out here, that’s for sure. What an area to be in. You’re just spoiled rotten.” MICHAEL MACNEIL

With every course in the corridor offering its own unique draw, MacNeil recommends taking a scattershot approach.
“It’s going to be a fantastic event.” This summer will also see more live music hosted at the Meadows, as well as more events for families, women and youth. “There’s going to be more outdoor games for everyone, and in the Black Squirrel restaurant we’re updating our restaurant to include more vegetarian and gluten-free options,” McLeod says. “You can’t beat our price, and we’ve got the laidback atmosphere, and you can usually get your favourite tee time—whenever you give us a call or book online it’s usually there.”
“I’m a firm believer in getting people out to play all the courses, and seeing which one you would prefer,” he says. “They’re all different, and all very beautiful, so we’re very lucky with the courses we have out here, that’s for sure. What an area to be in. You’re just spoiled rotten.” While Big Sky and the Meadows are next-door neighbours, and technically in direct competition, the two courses get along famously, MacNeil says. “We have a great relationship, and we support each other very well,” he says.
“(Kevin’s) got my back, I got his in certain situations when we need a hand, so it’s a very healthy relationship and the door swings both ways, so it’s good.” McLeod offers a similar sentiment. “Now and again, we usually just sort of help each other out when one course needs something from the other one, just to sort of make something work,” he says. “We’re always collaborating that way, and I’m going to be talking to him this year to see if we can do some more things together. It’s great.” For tee times, rates and more information on each course, head to www.bigskygolf.ca and www.pembertongolf.com.
