Escorted Golf Vacations That Make a Difference
A Description of The Area
and
What Your Vacation Includes
Canmore lies nestled along the banks of the Bow River in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. It is only 5 minutes from Banff National Park and 20 minutes from the town of Banff. During your stay here you you will find many fine restaurants, shops and an 18 hole municipal golf course you may want to play during one of your free days.
A visit to the town of Banff is a must. The aura that surrounds this mountain town is amazing as you are situated in the midst of the wilderness and with that comes the wildlife. It is not an uncommon sight for people to see an elk, deer, sheep or bear on the trip into work. Down the main street in the town of Banff you will find several gift stores that have amazing artwork on display. Clothing, sportswear or equipment, grocers, pharmacies, books, restaurants and bars are all found along the town streets.
Lake Louise is located about 45 minutes west of Banff. The icy, blue green lake is a beautiful contrast to the glacier and mountains in the background. Don’t miss a visit to the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise for lunch or dessert.

FUN GOLF
STEWART CREEK
The course is noted for its lush Kentucky bluegrass fairways that are woven between granite outcroppings and the massive, elegantly contoured green complexes, many of which look so good you’d think they were set there right when time began. “Impressive”, is a word that hardly does justice when describing the golf course at Stewart Creek.
MT. KIDD AT KANANASKIS
Named for the soaring peaks that serve as their most inspiring landmarks, the Mount Lorrette and Mount Kidd courses share more than 600 acres of lush fairways, bent grass greens, 142 strategically placed bunkers, forest, rivers, streams and ponds. The rugged surrounding peaks tower a full 9,600 feet above sea level, the courses themselves at almost 5,000 feet, forming an unforgettable background, the cascading Kananaskis River a constant, pleasant companion.
BANFF SPRINGS GOLF COURSE
Renowned for its panoramic beauty, The Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course is a captivating and challenging layout set in the heart of Canada’s Rocky Mountains.
The course offers just two simple things. First, a breathtaking view in every direction and second, a magnificent layout that thrills every golfer fortunate enough to spend a day here. Amateurs and professionals alike are constantly amazed by its panoramic challenge. The course winds along the Bow River under the snow-capped peaks of Sulphur Mountain and Mount Rundle. From the actual hole design to the optical illusions created by the surrounding mountains, this course will delight and tempt you.
OTHER COURSES IN THE AREA
The SilverTip Golf Course in Canmore is a contrast of elevations, undulating fairways and spectacular scenery.
The Canmore Golf Club is the only non-resort course in the area and offers value and challenge.
