Kimberley Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Kimberley Golf Course for ideal conditions and views?

You'll find Kimberley truly shines from late June through early September. The mountain air is crisp, the fairways are typically in prime condition, and the views of the Purcell Mountains are absolutely breathtaking without any lingering snow. We recommend booking your tee time for mid-morning to enjoy the sun fully illuminating the surrounding peaks.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Kimberley, and how should I prepare?

The elevation changes are definitely the biggest factor here, especially on the back nine where you'll encounter some significant uphill and downhill shots. We advise taking an extra club on uphill approaches and trusting your yardage on the descents - don't let the views distract you from club selection.

Is Kimberley Golf Course a good value compared to other courses in the Canadian Rockies region?

Absolutely, Kimberley offers fantastic value for the quality of golf and scenery you get. While it might not have the same "championship" price tag as some of its more famous neighbours, you're still playing a well-maintained course with stunning mountain backdrops, often at a more accessible price point. We think it's a smart choice for a memorable round without breaking the bank.

Which holes at Kimberley Golf Course should I really look forward to playing?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 11th; it's a dramatic downhill shot with a gorgeous mountain panorama behind the green - a real postcard moment. The finishing stretch, particularly the 18th, also offers a satisfying challenge with a beautiful approach back towards the clubhouse. You'll want your camera ready.

What's the typical pace of play like at Kimberley, and are there good amenities for a post-round drink?

Generally, pace of play is quite relaxed, especially on weekdays; you won't often feel rushed, which is perfect for soaking in the scenery. After your round, the clubhouse patio is the spot to be - grab a cold drink and relive your best shots while enjoying those same incredible mountain views. It's a simple, unpretentious setup that just feels right.
