Lakeside Greens, Chestermere: The Golf Course Community, Honestly Assessed

7 min read
The short version

Lakeside Greens is an established west-side community set around an 18-hole championship golf course. Course-side lots and proximity to the lake and rec centre give it a resort-like feel. Inventory here is limited because the community is established and largely built out, so when something suitable lists it is worth moving on promptly.

Lakeside Greens is the closest thing Chestermere has to a resort community, built around an 18-hole course on the west side of town. It is also one of the most misunderstood, because “golf course community” means very different things depending on which lot you are standing on.

What the community is actually like

Lakeside Greens is an established west-side community built around the Lakeside Greens Golf and Country Club. Course-side lots, mature landscaping and proximity to both the lake and the regional recreation centre give it a settled, amenity-rich feel that newer Chestermere communities are still growing into.

Housing runs to detached homes, with some acreage-style properties. It is largely built out, so new construction is scarce and most transactions are resale. Combined with a small community footprint, that means inventory is genuinely thin — often only a couple of homes listed at once.

Pricing sits above the town average, driven by lot size, course frontage and home size rather than by the community being newer. That is an important distinction: you are paying for position and land, not for a new build.

Who it suits, and who it does not

Good fit: golfers, obviously, but more broadly buyers who want space, established surroundings and a quieter west-side location with mountain-view potential on some lots. It suits move-up buyers rather than entry-level ones.

Poor fit: anyone needing attached or entry-level product, buyers who want a new home with warranty coverage, and buyers who need a large selection to choose from, because there rarely is one.

The honest pros and cons

What works here:

  • Built around the Lakeside Greens Golf and Country Club with course-side lots
  • Established, mature community with settled landscaping
  • Close to the regional recreation centre and lake amenities
  • Golf-course and green-space views on select properties

What to weigh against it:

  • Golf-course lots and larger homes push prices above the town average
  • Limited new-build inventory since the community is largely built out

Commute reality: ~25 min to downtown Calgary via Trans-Canada Hwy (Hwy 1). Test it yourself on a weekday morning before committing, because the difference between an off-peak drive and an 8am one is substantial.

What to check before you offer

Course frontage is not uniform. Confirm exactly what a lot backs onto and what the sightlines are. A “golf course community” address and an actual course-side lot are different products at different prices.

Ask about errant golf balls and any related agreements or covenants on course-adjacent lots. This is a normal question and worth asking directly.

Check title carefully. Course-adjacent properties can carry easements, rights of way or restrictive covenants. Have your lawyer walk you through each one.

Confirm whether any community or association fee applies — see our Chestermere fees guide for what to ask.

The club is a separate business. Living here does not automatically confer membership or rates. Confirm directly with the club if that matters to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lakeside Greens a good place to buy in Chestermere?
Lakeside Greens is an established west-side community set around an 18-hole championship golf course. Course-side lots and proximity to the lake and rec centre give it a resort-like feel. It suits buyers who want an established setting over a new build. The main constraints are limited inventory, since the community is largely built out, and a housing mix weighted toward detached homes, which means few entry-level or attached options. Whether it is right for you depends mainly on whether you value mature surroundings more than new construction.
How much do homes cost in Lakeside Greens?
Because this is a small, established community with only a handful of homes listed at any time, a single price figure would be both volatile and quickly out of date. The live Chestermere market page on this site shows current active counts and median list prices by community, updated from the MLS® feed. For what homes have actually sold for rather than asked, request a comparables report, since sold data is not published in the public feed.
What kind of homes are in Lakeside Greens?
The housing stock is predominantly detached and acreage. That gives the streets a consistent character but means limited attached or entry-level options. Buyers looking for townhomes or condos in Chestermere generally have better selection in newer communities such as Chelsea and Waterford.
How long is the commute from Lakeside Greens to Calgary?
~25 min to downtown Calgary via Trans-Canada Hwy (Hwy 1). That is a typical off-peak figure and weekday mornings run longer, particularly heading toward downtown. Anyone commuting daily should drive the actual route at the actual hour before committing, and consider whether a workplace on Calgary’s east side changes the maths favourably.
Does Lakeside Greens have lake access?
Proximity to Chestermere Lake is part of this community’s appeal, but proximity and frontage are different things and the price gap between them is large. Confirm for the specific property whether it has true water frontage, canal access, formal shared access rights, or simply a nearby location. Chestermere Lake is an irrigation reservoir operated by the Western Irrigation District, so shoreline structures and use are also subject to their requirements.
