Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club


About this course
Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club sits in the Bow Valley near Canmore, Alberta, Canada—not the United States—at the eastern edge of the Canadian Rockies. Designed by Gary Browning and opened in 2000, the course occupies a dramatic mountain setting with views of the Three Sisters, Ha Ling Peak, and Mount Lawrence Grassi. The property features significant elevation changes and a routing that moves through dense forest, across open meadows, and along natural creeks and wetlands. Wildlife sightings, including elk and deer, are common throughout the round. The layout plays to a par 72 at just over 7,200 yards from the back tees, though multiple tee boxes accommodate different skill levels. The design emphasizes strategic shot-making over pure length, with fairways that often require precise placement to avoid trees or set up approaches to elevated or contoured greens. Several holes play along Stewart Creek itself, and water comes into play on multiple occasions. The back nine is particularly known for its mountain vistas and dramatic elevation shifts. Stewart Creek serves both resort guests and members, drawing golfers who seek a mountain golf experience within easy reach of Banff National Park and the town of Canmore. The course operates seasonally, typically from May through October, and the high-altitude setting and mountain weather can affect playing conditions. The clubhouse offers dining with views of the surrounding peaks, and the facility includes practice areas that take advantage of the natural terrain.

Getting there
The journey to Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club begins at Calgary International Airport (YYC), just under 90 minutes east of Canmore along the Trans-Canada Highway. As the prairie flatlands give way to the foothills, the Rocky Mountains rise dramatically on the western horizon, their snow-dusted peaks growing more imposing with each passing mile. The final approach into Canmore - a mountain town cradled between the Bow Valley and the Three Sisters massif - delivers you to Stewart Creek's gates, where the transition from highway to alpine sanctuary is immediate and unmistakable.
