Frequently Asked Questions
When is the absolute best time to play Kananaskis Country Golf Course?
You'll find Kananaskis truly shines from late June through early September. The mountain weather is most stable then, offering ideal conditions for those incredible views and perfectly manicured fairways. If you're looking for slightly lower green fees and fewer crowds, consider the shoulder seasons in late May or early October, but be prepared for cooler temperatures and a chance of early snow.
With only one golf facility, what makes Kananaskis Country Golf Course a must-play destination?
Don't let the "one facility" fool you-Kananaskis Country Golf Course offers two distinct, championship-caliber 18-hole courses, Mount Lorette and Mount Kidd, both completely rebuilt after the devastating 2013 floods. The sheer scale of the mountain backdrop, combined with immaculate conditions and a truly thoughtful design, makes it an unforgettable experience that easily warrants a dedicated trip. You'll be hard-pressed to find a more dramatic setting for a round of golf anywhere.

For ultimate convenience, consider staying at the Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, Autograph Collection, which is just a short drive from the course and offers fantastic amenities.

Both towns provide excellent access to the course while offering a wider range of accommodations and activities.
