Meet the Team
Dale Tomlinson
Interim General Manager
Dale has almost 30 years of experience as a Golf Professional with a variety of clubs over those years; many of which you may be familiar with. He was the General Manager at The Winston GC in Calgary (formerly the Calgary Elks), River Bend Golf & Recreation Area and Carstairs Golf Club for many years.
As IGC is celebrating our centennial as well as hosting the 2024 Canadian Junior Boys tournament, Dale is excited about the many opportunities and challenges that come with hosting such events/celebrations.
Erwin Alvarez
Superintendent
Erwin embarked on his journey with the Innisfail Golf Club in 1999, stepping in as the Assistant Superintendent following his Turf Management program at Olds College. Before his tenure in Innisfail, he honed his craft for six seasons at the Kananaskis Country Golf Course. With three decades in the golf industry under his belt, Erwin is set to mark his impressive 25th year at IGC next year.
Beyond the greens, he cherishes his role as a devoted husband to his supportive wife, Kim, and takes pride in being a father to two remarkable boys, Ethan and Kylan.
Mike Devine
Food & Beverage Manager
Executive Chef
Mike hails from Port Dover, Ontario, renowned for its Lake Erie fishing port, serving up the most incredible yellow perch and pickerel dinners. His culinary journey began at the young age of 11, leading to culinary school in Toronto and Niagara on the Lake.
Arriving in Alberta 26 years ago, Mike’s career spanned various domains, from fine dining and upscale food retail to the oil patch, and even owning a catering business in Penhold. He also worked at a golf and RV resort at Pine Lake, seizing the chance to work in their Bahamas resort during winter—an experience dearly missed! Mike proudly supports his daughter Kadence Devine as she begins her journey toward becoming an RCMP officer.
Meagan Carlson
Administration
Tournament Co-ordinator
Meet Meagan, our seasoned team member with over 7 seasons at IGC! When she’s not crunching numbers at her desk, you’ll spot her perfecting her swing on the golf course or navigating river rapids on a kayak. With 23 years of bookkeeping experience across various industries like oilfields and minor hockey associations, Meagan brings a wealth of financial expertise to our team. She’s not just shaping our books—Meagan’s also shaping the next generation’s careers, as her children, Casey and Liam, aspire to become a superintendent and accountant, respectively.
Outside of work, Meagan and her boys share a love for golf, badminton, and swimming, while ticking off travel destinations from their bucket list—Yellowstone and Seattle done; Ireland’s up next in 2024!
