Signs indicate that popular Pheasantback Golf and Country Club, north of Stettler, has hit financial difficulty and been possessed by receiver MNP Ltd. (Meyers Norris Penny Ltd.) of Edmonton. Pheasantback and Rise Resources Group owner Jim Risler and Karen Aylward of MNP didn’t immediately return phone calls from the Stettler Independent early this week.
Opened in 1995, the golf course became one of Alberta’s most celebrated golf destinations. It was ranked as one of the top 100 courses in Canada and one of Alberta’s “Top-10 Must Plays.”
