About this course

Mountain Meadows Golf Club sits in Elkford, a small coal-mining community in the Elk Valley of southeastern British Columbia, roughly 30 kilometers north of the larger town of Sparwood. The course occupies high-elevation terrain in the Canadian Rockies, where the surrounding landscape is characterized by forested ridges, alpine meadows, and the dramatic peaks typical of this mountain region. The setting places golfers in a remote, rugged environment far from major population centers, with the course serving both local residents and visitors exploring the backcountry of British Columbia. The layout was designed by Reg and Roy Stone, though detailed records of the design process and opening date are not widely documented in major golf architecture references. Given the location and era of development in this part of British Columbia, the course likely features a relatively straightforward routing that works with the natural contours and clearings of the mountain valley. Elevation changes, rocky outcroppings, and stands of coniferous forest typically define golf in this region, and the design probably incorporates these elements into the playing experience. Elkford itself remains a small, resource-based town, and the golf club functions as a community amenity in an area where outdoor recreation centers on fishing, hiking, and wilderness activities. The course offers a mountain golf experience in a genuinely remote setting, far removed from resort development or tournament play, reflecting the character of golf in British Columbia's interior mining towns.

Getting there

The journey to Mountain Meadows Golf Club begins at Calgary International Airport (YYC), roughly two and a half hours southeast across the Alberta-British Columbia border. The drive traces Highway 3 westward through the Crowsnest Pass before turning north on Highway 43, climbing steadily into the Elk Valley where the Rocky Mountains press close on all sides. As pavement gives way to the quiet mining town of Elkford - one of Canada's highest communities - the final approach reveals a course carved into an alpine meadow at nearly 4,500 feet, where the air is thin, the fairways run fast, and civilization feels pleasantly distant.
