Mickleson National Turns To Carousel Golfing To Go the Extra Mile

Mickelson National Golf Club in Calgary, Canada, has become the latest world-renowned golf facility to install the Carousel Golf Bag Storage System. Designed by Phil Mickelson Design, the course which bears his name, opened for play in June 2020, and in a relatively short period, has won widespread acclaim both in North America and further afield. And when construction of a 16,000 square-foot clubhouse was completed recently, director of golf at Mickelson National, Miles Mortensen, turned to Carousel Golfing managing director Mike Waldron for help and advice on how best to cater for the demands of members and visitors alike.

With an installation that cater for over 500 bags, Mortensen commented: “It is with great confidence that I can recommend the services of Carousel Golfing and the team behind this amazing product lead by Mike Waldron.

“Having history with a great product and team helps as I was fortunate to use this system in a renovation and most recently a new build of a clubhouse. We were faced with a unique challenge in building our new clubhouse and with the cost of construction evaluating each square foot had to be carefully thought through.

“We also wanted a system that could save space and be very functional for the staff, and that is why we selected Carousel Golfing as we achieved both. With the space savings we able to expand the footprint and made a very functional employee area and have been thrilled that Carousel Golfing were part of that solution. The functionality of Carousel Golfing — which allows for an innovative way to maximize both new and old spaces — is superb, and Mike and his team have been exceptional to deal with, despite the geographical challenges.”

Managing director of Carousel Golfing, Mike Waldron added: “Miles and the entire team at Mickleson National have been an absolute pleasure to deal with, and I’m so delighted that the installation has proved so popular. The Carousel system is such a cost-effective and user-friendly way of increasing bag storage within the clubhouse, and also helps generate revenue as many clubs often levy an annual fee for storage.

“It really is a winning formula for all concerned.”
