Kananaskis Country Golf Course

Find out why Master Architect Robert Trent Jones Sr. described Kananaskis Country Golf Course as “The best natural setting I have ever been given to work with” out of the over 500+ golf courses he has designed around the world. Every tee shot features a unique scenic portrayal of the picturesque Kananaskis Valley. Immaculate greens and tees are cut around the winding Kananaskis River, amongst a variety of indigenous coniferous and deciduous trees. Wildlife, mountain views, crisp white silica sand bunkers, and crystal clear mountain water that comes into play on 20 of 36 holes all combine to provide a world-class golf experience for players of all levels of ability.

In the heart of the Canadian Rockies, less than an hour’s drive from either Calgary or Banff, visitors find a golfing paradise. Kananaskis Country Golf Course is one of the premier golf destinations in the Canadian Rockies. Forming an unforgettable landscape, the rugged surrounding mountains tower 10,000 feet (3,000 metres) above sea level, the courses themselves are at almost 5,000 feet (1,500 metres). Situated in the Kananaskis Valley among boreal forest, the Mount Lorette and Mount Kidd Courses are named for the soaring limestone peaks that serve as their breathtaking backdrop. The Courses will offer immaculate lush fairways, bent grass greens, over 120 silica sand bunkers, five sets of tee boxes for players, glacier fed creeks and ponds, the cascading Kananaskis River and a variety of wildlife.
