About this course

Crowsnest Pass Golf & Country Club isn't just a course; it's a landscape sculpted by coal dust and ambition, a testament to a community carving recreation out of the Canadian Rockies. Nestled in Blairmore, Alberta, its story is entwined with the region's mining heritage, a place where weekend rounds offered respite from the demanding work underground. The course presents a compelling play. It's an older course built with smaller greens and some of the fairways are very narrow. At times, the course can favor golfers who favor the left side of the course, while others are completely opposite. This course has blind shots and doglegs that challenge players. While not a regular stop on professional tours, Crowsnest Pass holds a special place in the hearts of local golfers. It’s a course where the spirit of the game thrives, bolstered by a fiercely loyal membership. It is the only golf course found between Banff and Waterton Parks in southern Alberta.

Getting there

Crowsnest Pass Golf & Country Club is reached most conveniently via Calgary International Airport (YYC), situated roughly two hours northwest of the club, a drive that descends from the prairie into the Canadian Rockies' foothills before arriving in the intimate mountain town of Blairmore. The final stretch winds through the dramatic Crowsnest Pass itself, where the landscape narrows between towering peaks and the road follows the natural contours of this historic alpine corridor. For those seeking a more direct approach, Lethbridge County Airport (YLW) lies approximately ninety minutes to the southeast, offering a quieter alternative for regional arrivals. The club's setting in this remote corner of southwestern Alberta - where the mountains rise suddenly from the high plains - rewards the journey with a sense of genuine seclusion, far removed from the busier resort destinations of Banff and Lake Louise to the north.
