Kananaskis Country Golf Course, Golf course in Kananaskis Improvement District, Canada.
Description
Kananaskis Country Golf Course is a 36-hole facility in the Canadian Rockies with two distinct courses called Mt. Lorette and Mt. Kidd. Both layouts feature glacier-fed waterways, bunkers filled with silica sand, and bent grass greens set across the mountainous terrain.
History
The course opened in 1983 as part of regional development efforts funded by Alberta's provincial investment programs. This timing helped establish Kananaskis as a destination for outdoor recreation and sports.
Culture
The courses attract golfers who enjoy mountain challenges and scenic high-altitude play. Players from across western Canada visit to experience golf surrounded by towering peaks and forest.
Practical
Players can choose from multiple tee positions on each hole to match their skill level and preferred difficulty. Online booking is available, which helps with planning visits especially during peak seasons.
Did you know?
A river winds through both courses, adding natural obstacles that shape how players approach each hole. This water feature, combined with the elevation and surrounding peaks, creates a golf experience quite different from lowland courses.
