Rockies Golf Holidays

Towering over the plains of Alberta and British are the peaks of the Canadian Rocky Mountains - mighty, rugged and inspiring.

Banff and Jasper are the two most famous destinations and also boast world-class golf resorts and the fantastic National Parks of Kootenay, Yoho, Jasper and Glacier.   A golf holiday here should be an exploring holiday with golf – making time for the sightseeing and exploring as well as the wining and dining and make for great Rockies Golf Holidays.  Ideally, be willing to stay in three or four locations so that you can cherry pick the best sites and courses and the scenery makes the driving very different from the British motorways!

Since the mid-19th-Century, the Rockies were opened up by European and Chinese miners and fortunes were made as millions of dollars in gold were mined. The legacy of prospectors and pioneers is remembered in the fascinating ghost towns that still dot the silvery Slocan Valley.

Rockies Golf Breaks

When a route was surveyed westward for the Canadian Pacific Railway the area was named Revelstoke in honour of Lord Revelstoke, head of the British bank which had helped the railway avert financial crisis during the building of the transcontinental railway line.  The route through Crownsnest Pass in southern BC was completed in 1898. This vital railway linked large areas of southern Alberta and south-eastern BC to developing population centres in western Canada and the northern United States.  From then, tourists and explorers came to appreciate the astounding beauty and golf developed slowly and very grandly!  Now the region is one of Canada's pre-eminent destinations for our Rockies Golf Breaks and mountain biking, while the many backcountry lodges, inns and guest ranches offer luxury accommodations and getaways in natural settings. This is also your chance to visit wonderfully restored heritage towns, thriving arts communities and gold rush boomtowns.

Rockies Golf Holidays

Icefields Parkway

A Scenic highway cutting through breathtakingly beautiful mountain passes.

 

Mt. Edith Cavell

Mt. Edith Cavell is a major peak in the Rockies near Jasper. Accessible via Highway 93A, the Mt. Edith Cavell Road leads to many popular hiking routes, such as the Tonquin Valley and the Astoria River.  

There are two trails that leave from the Mt. Edith Cavell parking lot. The first is a simple loop called The Path of the Glacier, a short walk along an easy trail that takes you to a small lake at the foot of the Cavell Glacier.  By far the better trail is the Cavell Meadows Trail. It leaves from part way up the Path of the Glacier Trail, and ascends the valley wall across from the mountain. Not for the timid or weak, the climb includes some 450 meters (1475 feet) of elevation gain over only a few kilometers, making for a pretty good workout.  Allow about 3 hours to reach the top and return.

 

Sunshine Meadows

The Sunshine Meadows are known by many as the most stunning alpine setting in the Canadian Rockies. Situated at about 2220m (7,300′), the meadows straddle the Continental Divide and the boundary between Alberta and British Columbia. Some of the Canadian Rockies’ highest peaks, surround Sunshine, including Mt. Assiniboine, Banff National Park’s highest peak, known as “the Matterhorn of the Canadian Rockies.” Wildlife abound in the meadows, and the brilliance of the summer flowers and autumn larches guarantees spectacular scenery on every visit.

The Hoodoos

They are giant freestanding pillars several metres tall that are made of silt, gravel and rocks cemented together by dissolved limestone. Sculpted over time by wind and water erosion and protected by a solid cap of rock, the Hoodoos can be found standing guard along the top of Tunnel Mountain.

Vermillion Lakes

This is the perfect place for a picnic lunch on the dock, with stunning views of Mount Rundle and Sulphur Mountain. There are three lakes along this road, where ospreys and bald eagles nest in trees, Canada geese breed in the marshlands and tundra swans stop by during each spring and fall migration. A natural hot springs bubbles into the third lake.

Lake Minnewanka

It’s the largest lake in Banff National Park at 24 kms long and 142 m (466 ft.) deep. Only scuba divers can view the remnants of a small town called Minnewanka Landing, after a hydroelectric dam built in 1941 caused the lake level to rise by 30 m (98 ft.). An interpretive trail winds its way around the remains of the old mining site, old machinery and crumbling foundations of the town.

Norquay Look-Out

It’s only a few minutes drive up a series of mountain switchbacks, but delivers a view of Banff and the Rockies that will take your breath away. From here you can clearly see the Spray River Valley as it cuts a swath between Mount Rundle 2949 m (9676 ft.) and Sulphur Mountain.
