Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Club

The brainchild of legendary Canadian architect Stanley Thompson, creator of numerous classic Canadian golf courses, Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course is widely regarded as his finest contribution to the game. Adeptly demonstrating the symbiotic relationship between a great course and its locale, his 1928 creation winds its way along the banks of the Bow River under the picturesque silhouette of Mount Rundle, forever associated with the Banff skyline.

Tucked between the Rocky Mountains and the Purcell Range, the 18 holes at the Golden Golf Club meld into the contours of the thick coniferous forest on the hillside and present players with a challenging round in the vicinity of Golden's stunning mountain vistas, churning creeks, and the occasional furry friend.
