FAIRMONT JASPER PARK LODGE GOLF CLUB
This award winning course remains one of the ''must play'' courses in Canada. Set in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, the course was laid out in 1925 by Stanley Thompson and displays some of the finest work of his career.
The 18 hole layout offers elevated tee boxes, dramatic bunkering and holes aligned with distant mountain vistas. He built wide fairways carved from thick forest, and was always conscious of the environment's natural contours, blending beautiful landscapes with challenging terrain. On many days you will share the fairways with elk and deer - a truly amazing experience. Few golf courses in the world can match the rugged majesty of this national treasure.
In 1994, using Thompson's original course blueprints, The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge initiated a restoration project to refurbish the course back to its original layout. Today; it's a true classic that combines the best of what golf is all about....a love of the history and the game itself.
