Wildlife, scenery, and incredible vistas are signatures of the Fairmont Chateau Whistler, Fairmont Banff Springs, and Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge’s golf courses. From the coast mountain range in British Columbia to the rugged peaks of the Canadian Rockies, a Fairmont golf experience should be on every golfer’s bucket list.

They say it took 50 teams of horses with a crew of 200 plus men a year to clear the land and prepare it for what is now Canada’s #1 golf resort, the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. Since 1925, the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge has been providing unforgettable luxury golf and travel memories for all its guests. With 446 superbly appointed guest rooms, suites, and luxurious signature cabins set along the shores of Lac Beauvert, The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is the retreat of your dreams. The signature cabins are a perfect location for golfers to come together after their rounds.

In the mid 90’s, a restoration project was undertaken with the sole purpose of returning this jewel in the Rockies back to its initial layout. Using Stanley Thompson’s original blueprints from 1924, the project spent its focus on restoring all the bunkers and tee boxes, highlighting the courses original, and fundamental design.

Not one to rest on its laurels and accolades, the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge completed construction on a new 10,000 square foot spa for golfers and vacationers alike to relax and rejuvenate. Ten treatment rooms, two couple’s rooms with Jacuzzis, therapeutic mineral baths, glacial-inspired steam rooms, and an outdoor heated pool are offered up so you can continue swinging with ease as you prepare for the next day’s round.

At the foot of the towering peaks of Mt. Rundle in Banff National Park lays the Fairmont Banff Springs golf course. Created by master golf course architect Stanley Thompson in 1928, this was the world’s first course to cost over one million dollars to build. It would take teams of men and horses six backbreaking years to complete his vision. Eighty years later, it is a vision, which has evolved and brought enormous pleasure to all who have played her. Recent restorations have lengthened the course for modern times, yet these alterations have stayed consistent with Thompson’s original genius. In 1989, an additional 9-hole course was constructed by Geoffrey Cornish and William Robinson, which brought 27 holes of championship golf to Banff National Park. One of the most photographed holes in golf is the Par 3, the fourth hole, named ‘Devil’s Cauldron’. Step up; this could be your time for a hole in one.

With 768 guest rooms, the ‘Castle in the Rockies’, the Fairmont Banff Springs, has been providing luxury accommodations and hospitality to the world for more than 125 years. Drawing energy from the surrounding mountains, the Willow Stream Spa will rejuvenate your tired muscles, balance your rhythms, and awaken your spirits.

It has been said there is golf in the mountains, and then there is mountain golf. Your golf experience at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler golf club is the latter. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr, the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club stretches out along majestic Blackcomb Mountain, which traverses creeks, ponds, lush alpine meadows, and stands in shaded Douglas fir trees. Even with its rugged scenery and over 400 feet of elevation change, the layout is thoughtful and allows all levels of golfers to enjoy their play. Home to Western North America’s David Leadbetter Golf Academy, the course also features a double ended 350 yard practice and learning centre.
