Canmore Golf & Curling Club

Canmore Golf & Curling Club sits in the Bow Valley of the Canadian Rockies, approximately 100 kilometers west of Calgary in the mountain town of Canmore. Designed by Les Furber and opened in the mid-1980s, the course occupies terrain shaped by glacial activity and features the dramatic backdrop of the Three Sisters and other peaks that define this part of the Alberta Rockies. The routing works across rolling, forested land with elevation changes that provide views of the surrounding mountain landscape while incorporating natural features characteristic of the valley floor. The layout reflects Furber's regional design approach from that era, with tree-lined fairways, strategic bunkering, and greens that require careful club selection given the mountain altitude and variable wind conditions. The course measures around 6,500 yards from the back tees and presents a mix of risk-reward opportunities and straightforward holes that accommodate both members and visitors adjusting to the elevation. Water comes into play on several holes, and the mountain setting introduces weather variability that can shift conditions quickly during a round. As the name indicates, the club maintains both golf and curling facilities, reflecting the dual-season recreational culture common in Canadian mountain communities. The club serves local residents and the steady flow of visitors drawn to Canmore for its proximity to Banff National Park and outdoor recreation opportunities. The course remains a functional, accessible option for golf in a region better known for its wilderness character than its concentration of golf facilities.
