Breathtaking Views

Fairmont Banff Springs

With breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains in every direction, the Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course provides not only a scenic experience but a challenging one as well. Designed by Stanley Thompson in 1928, with an additional nine holes unveiled in 1989, the course meanders alongside the Bow River with the Sulphur Mountain, Mount Rundle and Tunnel Mountain peaks towering above. Adding to the course’s personality are greens that can range from rolling and expansive to more compact and flatter. The par-3, 192-yard 4th hole, known as Devil’s Cauldron, is a feature hole here. From the tee box the hole drops nearly 70 feet over a small glacial pond to a bowl-shaped green that slopes toward the water. Golf Packages

Fairmont Chateau Whistler

Opened in 1993, the Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Course offers an incredibly natural 18 holes of golf carved from the slopes of British Columbia’s Coast Mountain Range and featuring amazing scenery and abundant wildlife. Creeks, ponds, granite rock, Douglas fir trees, bridges, and dramatic elevation changes make this a truly unique experience. Accuracy is key on the par-3, 212-yard 8th hole which features a long, narrow green protected by a pond on the left and a rock wall on the right. Golf Packages

Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge

Widely considered some of Stanley Thompson’s greatest work, the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge Golf Course – designed upon ground which took 50 teams of horses and more than 200 men a year to clear and prepare – features holes with incredible mountain vistas that weave their way through thick forestry and deliberately follow that natural contours of the surrounding landscape. Elevated tee boxes and well thought out bunkers seamlessly blend into the terrain. A 2004 restoration project revamped the course returning it to form. Golf Packages   

Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello

In the shadow of Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains and the Outaouais River Valley, the Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello Golf Course places a premium on accuracy with its tight tree lined fairways and well protected greens. Designated as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary in 1998, the course offers a true feeling of seclusion. Don’t be fooled by the lack of water trouble as the course more than protects itself with the many uneven stances you will encounter on its mountain holes. Golf Packages

Fairmont Le Manior Richelieu

As you take the nearly one-mile long panoramic golf cart ride along the trail leading to the golf course, you realize you’re in for something special at Le Manior Richelieu Golf Club. Following a $10M facelift from architect Darrell Huxham, the course which sits on a cliffside overlooking the St. Lawrence River offers 27 championship golf holes marked by incredible views, dramatic elevation changes, and often extremely rolling fairways. Do your homework on the practice green before your round as the course places a premium on the putter with large undulating and slick greens. Golf Packages
