Canmore Golf Courses
Three courses, three different personalities all with the same Rocky Mountain backdrop right out the window.
Silvertip Golf Resort is one of the premier golf destinations in Alberta, carved across dramatic mountain terrain with more than 1,000 feet of elevation change across the 18 holes. Designed by Les Furber and stretching past 7,000 yards from the tips, the course rewards precise shot-making with consistently stunning views of the Bow Valley and the Three Sisters peaks.

Stewart Creek Golf and Country Club
Established in 1926, the Canmore Golf & Curling Club is the oldest golf course in the Canadian Rockies. It is a genuine local institution and is mature, well-maintained 18-hole layout that trades the drama of elevation change for playability, consistency, and a pace of play that larger resort courses can't match.

Kananaskis Golf Courses
Two championship courses inside a provincial park. One of the best-value golf destinations in Western Canada.
The Mt. Kidd Course at Kananaskis Country Golf Course is a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design that opened in 1983 inside Kananaskis Country Provincial Park. The course gained international recognition when it hosted the Leaders' Golf Tournament during the 2002 G8 Summit. Mt. Kidd plays as a traditional championship layout with the dramatic face of Mt. Kidd rising directly behind the back nine.

The Mt. Lorette Course is the sister layout to Mt. Kidd at Kananaskis Country Golf Course, also a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design in the same stunning provincial park landscape. Mt. Lorette plays shorter and more forgiving, with wider fairways and more room off the tee. It is one of the best beginner-friendly championship courses in Alberta.

Beginners, intermediate golfers, mixed groups

Jasper Golf Courses
Stanley Thompson's other masterpiece is 3.5 hours north along the Icefields Parkway.
The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge Golf Course is consistently ranked among the finest courses in Canada and stands alongside Banff Springs as one of Stanley Thompson's two iconic Canadian Rockies designs. Set entirely within Jasper National Park at the foot of the Maligne Range, the course features the same mountain backdrop and precision routing that made Thompson's reputation, with each hole framed by peaks and the surrounding wilderness of the park.
