Experience one of the world's most iconic mountain golf destinations at Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course, nestled in the heart of Banff National Park in Alberta's breathtaking Canadian Rockies. Renowned for its spectacular scenery, rich history, and exceptional course design, this legendary golf destination offers an unforgettable combination of championship golf, dramatic mountain landscapes, and timeless elegance.
Designed by legendary Canadian golf architect Stanley Thompson, the historic 18-hole, par-71 championship course stretches 6,938 yards from the back tees and winds alongside the beautiful Bow River beneath the towering peaks of Mount Rundle and Sulphur Mountain. Originally opened in 1928, the course features meticulously designed fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and challenging greens that reward precision and thoughtful shot-making while providing an enjoyable experience for golfers of varying skill levels.
One of the course's most unforgettable highlights is the world-famous Devil's Cauldron, the spectacular par-3 fourth hole featuring a dramatic tee shot over a turquoise glacial lake toward a beautifully framed green surrounded by towering mountains. This iconic hole is considered one of the most photographed and memorable golf holes in the world, perfectly capturing the extraordinary beauty of golf in the Canadian Rockies.
In addition to the Stanley Thompson championship course, Fairmont Banff Springs offers the Tunnel Mountain 9, a scenic par-36 layout designed by Geoffrey Cornish and Bill Robinson in 1989. Together, these courses provide 27 holes of exceptional mountain golf, complemented by outstanding practice facilities, a fully stocked golf shop, and inviting clubhouse dining with spectacular alpine views.
What truly sets Fairmont Banff Springs apart is its extraordinary setting. From the crystal-clear waters of the Bow River to the rugged mountain peaks and pristine forests surrounding every fairway, the scenery creates an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the world. The combination of historic course architecture, unforgettable signature holes, and the natural splendor of Banff National Park makes every round a remarkable experience.
