Tucked into the Rocky Mountains of Southern Alberta you will find two of the best golf courses around: Kananaskis Country Golf Course – Mt. Kidd Course, and Kananaskis Country Golf Course – Mt. Lorette Course.
Set on what Robert Trent Jones Senior called “the best natural setting I’ve ever been given to work with” the courses at Kananaskis has won the highest praise from vacationing golfers and industry experts alike: Golf Digest named Kananaskis Country Golf Course “An absolute must. Five star service. Two jewels in the Canadian Rockies” and the readers of Score Golf, Canada’s Golf Magazine, named Kananaskis “Best Golf Destination in the West”.
Named for one of the two mountain peaks that dominate the sky line, the Mt. Lorette course is a dauntingly long 7102 yards from the back tees but plays almost 1500 yards shorter than that from the front tees. Occasional tricky lies, and demands for tough shots will mean that your game will have to be sharp. Errant shots are likely to be punished but well executed swings will be amply rewarded. Play aggressively and disregard the dangers and the course will show its championship pedigree. Play a patient game that waits for opportunities to present themselves and you will find yourself being given a round to remember.
Kananaskis Country Golf Course’s facilities include a full length driving range, two putting greens, clubhouse with locker rooms, full service pro-shop, lounge, restaurant and two decks that let you soak in the beauty of the Canadian Rockies.
Whether you play one course or both, you are sure to love your time at Kananaskis Country Golf Course. It is the perfect blend of Robert Trent Jones magic and Canadian Rockies majesty. |
