No. While the RCMP, the Alberta Sheriffs, and County Peace Officers routinely drive through the neighborhood on a regular basis, we have no security force of our own. Our camera network, resident security cameras and our own vigilance works very well. Neighbors take care of neighbors in the Lakes of Muirfield, and while you won’t find many places more friendly, it doesn’t mean we don’t keep an eye out for those with criminal intentions.

Gas meters are the responsibility of your provider, Rosebud Gas Co-op or Rockyview Gas Co-op. See Partners & Utilities for contact info.

GOLF COURSE
Is a Golf Membership included with Home Purchase?
No. Muirfield Lakes Golf Course is privately owned and operated by RavGolf Inc. Membership and green fee information may be found here.
Collapse
I’ve never lived beside a golf course before, what about damage from errant balls?
Living beside a golf course has its pros and cons, and while the former outweigh the latter by a healthy margin, (having a backyard looking out on green space, lovely views, well-maintained green space, a wide array of birds, waterfowl, and other wildlife, etc makes up for the odd boisterous foursome that goes by) errant balls do find their way into resident’s backyards and in some cases front yards on rare occasions (depending on which hole you reside). They have been known to cause damage. The Golf Course, although not responsible for the damage, has been very diligent in re-locating tee boxes and other course features to mitigate stray shots but it still happens from time to time.
Collapse
Do Residents Receive a Discount at the Golf Course?
Although there are limited time promotions throughout the season for LOM residents, there are no set discounts. The Golf Course maintains very affordable green fees, probably the most economical for a course in this condition in all of southern Alberta and offers a daily special at the restaurant during the golf season.
Collapse
If there is damage, is the golf course responsible?
No, the golfer who took the shot is responsible. All Golf Canada members are insured for any damage they cause, but unfortunately, not every golfer bothers with the membership each year.

Lyalta Community C...
HISTORY
Nearly two decades have passed since the approved Entitlement Process allowed for the phased development of more than 700 residences, a resort style golf course, and a small commercial component, north of the existing hamlet of Lyalta in 2005. In that time, the Lakes of Muirfield has faced more than it’s share of challenges, but we can now boast a vibrant, growing, and beautiful community that was well worth it. Want to learn more?
