Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club

Where Canadian Rockies theater meets championship golf built on reclaimed coal mining history.

About the Course

Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club is consistently rated 4.5 stars by Golf Digest and few golf courses in North America boast its spectacular combination of setting, extraordinary vistas and naturally sculpted fairways. Built on an abandoned mine site, this world-class championship course weaves the history of Canmore and the Canadian Pacific Railway into the natural contours and rugged geological formations that are the signature of mountain golf. Measuring 7,195 yards from the back tee and 5,136 from the front, Stewart Creek challenges the professional player while allowing for a stimulating game for the novice. The course usually opens in early May and runs through October, weather permitting. Every shot here is framed by Rocky Mountain peaks, elevation changes keep you engaged, and the golf course is built within a wildlife corridor which is a natural pathway that the wildlife use to move through the Bow Valley, with sightings including such animals as elk, deer, coyote, black bears, cougars and even grizzly bears.

Why It's Great for Groups
  • Signature 9th hole: A breathtaking 212-yard Par 3 with a dramatic elevated tee and elevation change to the green below, consistently ranked among Canada's most memorable holes.
  • Built-in golf history: The course is constructed on a reclaimed anthracite coal mine site with visible mine entrances on holes 1 and 14, adding unique character and storytelling to every round.
  • Exceptional conditioning: Regularly recognized in Score Golf rankings and winner of multiple 'Most Beautiful' and 'Best Conditioned' awards among Canadian public courses.
  • World-class group experience: Semi-private setup welcomes public play with a clubhouse featuring restaurant and balcony, perfect for large groups to bond before and after rounds.
  • Perfect mountain golf without the crowds: Less than half an hour from Banff but without the national park access hassles, offering pristine Rocky Mountain views with easier logistics than Fairmont properties.
