The Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course
Renowned for its panoramic beauty, The Fairmont Banff Springs Golf
Course is a captivating and challenging layout set in the heart of
Canada's Rocky Mountains.
The Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course offers
just two simple things. First, a breathtaking view in every
direction and second, a magnificent layout that thrills every golfer
fortunate enough to spend a day here. Amateurs and professionals
alike are constantly amazed by its panoramic challenge. From the
actual hole design to the optical illusions created by the
surrounding mountains, this course will delight and tempt you.
Stewart Creek Golf &
Country Club,
the centrepiece of Three Sisters Mountain Village in Canmore,
Alberta, offering 18 championship holes, 7,195 yards, 72 strokes and
an unbelievable mountain golfing experience.
The course itself is a modern classic. Few
others in North America boast the
attributes this course provides - a spectacular mountain setting,
extraordinary 360º vistas, naturally sculpted fairways and rich
local
history.
Whistler Golf Course
Snowcapped peaks. Majestic fir trees. Invigorating mountain air. The
occasional brown bear and her cubs sauntering across the green -
this is the setting that inspired Arnold Palmer to choose the
Whistler Golf Club as his first Canadian design.
The Whistler Golf Club is a par 72, 18 hole
golf course winding past gentle mountain streams and nine lakes that
easily exceeds the expectations of the most discriminating golfer.
In 2000 the Whistler Golf Club received an extensive $2.2 million
renovation to ensure this 6676-yard course continues its legacy of
excellence.
And for when you are relaxing -
Don't forget there is a wealth of things to do
when you are not playing golf!
It's such a vast country, it's hard to know where to start. There
are great cities and terrific scenery on Canada vacations. I would
definitely head for the Rocky Mountains. They are set in a beautiful
landscape with deer ambling thru the pine forests and lovely lakes.
What a place to dip into a hot spring. There are a number of
activities available such as mountain biking and kayaking. I'd like
to do some cross country skiing in the winter, but I'd have to get
fit first.
Toronto is another city I'd like to see. It has a really good
nightlife and designer fashion shops, museums and theatres. It has a
cosmopolitan atmosphere with different ethnic districts. There's a
Chinatown, Koreatown and a Little Italy. There's also a Greek
neighborhood. Canada vacations are never short of scenery, and
Toronto has a lovely waterfront on Lake Ontario.
Everyone who goes to Canada should see Niagara Falls. I'm told the
sight and the sound of them are truly memorable and the highlight of
Canada vacations. The Falls are 54 meters high but it's the force of
the water that's awesome. You can take a cruise or fly over in a
helicopter. They're illuminated at night and there are firework
displays. There are other things to do apart from viewing the Falls.
You can visit a vineyard or go to the Botanical Gardens which have a
big collection of butterflies. There is even some fishing to be had
on Lake Ontario and Lake Erie.
