Canadian Rockies Golf Gets Nod by Golf Digest - Two Score Big on Top 75 Golf ...
What makes a great golf resort? Golf travelers cannot live by links time alone. There are many great places to play, but only a select few places where you can immerse yourself in the game for a few days. The Canadian Rockies in Western Alberta is one such place.
The November edition of Golf Digest gives their list of Best Golf Resorts in North America, and it should surprise no one that two properties in Western Alberta - The storied Stanley Thompson meccas of The Fairmont Banff Springs and The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge - made the list. We’ve shared the release below.
What sets them, and the Canadian Rockies apart? Location, for one - stunning views can’t help but distinguish such a natural experience as golf. Wildlife roaming the fairways (who has forgotten their first encounter with a bear on a golf course?), certainly add to the golf experience. But so does, the food, the accommodations, the sense of place, the energy in the lobby. And there’s more. We encourage you to post your ideas. “We’re obviously thrilled that American golfers know we deliver an exceptional golf vacation experience,” said Alan Carter, director of golf at The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. “Golfing in a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a National Park always offers an unforgettable round, and word continues to spread that the Canadian Rockies is a must-see destination.” They consist of the two Fairmont properties in Banff and Jasper, Kananaskis Country Golf Course’s Mt.Kidd and Mt. Lorette layouts, and three courses in Canmore – Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club, Silvertip Resort and Canmore Golf & Curling Club. Together, the group offers golf-and-adventure packages to the leading destination through http://www.canadianrockiesgolf.ca .
