The Golf
Twin Peaks and valleys
Some golf destinations feel polished and controlled.
The Alberta Rockies feel different.
Here the landscape dominates everything. Fairways run beneath towering peaks. Rivers cut through valleys beside the greens. Elk wander across tee boxes like they belong there. In many ways they do.
You arrive expecting great golf. What you find is something much bigger.
The drive west from Calgary sets the tone. The prairie stretches flat and quiet for nearly an hour. Then the horizon suddenly changes. A wall of mountains rises from the earth, sharp and jagged, like a curtain lifting on a new landscape.
And tucked into these valleys sit some of the most dramatic golf courses in North America.
Courses like Banff Springs Golf Course, Silvertip Golf Course, Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club, and Kananaskis Country Golf Course do not simply sit beside the mountains.
The ball still matters, of course.
But in the Alberta Rockies, the setting always wins.
The Lodging
Sleep less, in Canmore
Set in a wide valley just outside Banff National Park, Canmore makes an ideal home base for a golf trip through the Alberta Rockies.
The town sits at the center of the region’s best courses. From here, you can reach Silvertip Golf Course and Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club in minutes. The mountain layouts at Kananaskis Country Golf Course are about forty minutes south, while the historic fairways of Banff Springs Golf Course sit just up the road.
Between rounds, Canmore offers the relaxed rhythm of a true mountain town. Cafés and restaurants line the small downtown streets. Patios fill with golfers sharing stories from the day while the sun drops behind the towering Three Sisters.
You'll stay in a lodge with a balcony facing the peaks. Wake up to mountain views. Our daily rides are a short distance to world-class golf. Return in the evening to a town that feels easy and welcoming.
For a Rockies golf trip, it is hard to find a better place to base yourself.
