The Highwood Golf and Country Club welcomed a brand new General Manager over the Winter.

Greig Burnie takes over the course and comes to High River with a whole lot of golf experience under his belt.

"It's my 25th year in the golf business. I spent 22 years in the Ottawa area. Then we headed out west with myself, wife and two kids to the Hinton Golf Club. And now we're making the trip South to the Calgary area. So, we're very happy to be here."

Former Manager Graeme Kreiner returned to Golden, B.C., after just one year at the helm of the Highwood.

The Highwood opened for play over the weekend.
