Mountain Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play the Mountain Course, and what kind of weather should I prepare for?

We highly recommend late June through early September for the most consistent, glorious conditions. Even then, mountain weather can be fickle; always pack layers, as a sunny morning can quickly turn into a cool, breezy afternoon, especially on those exposed elevated tees.

What are the biggest playing challenges unique to the Mountain Course's terrain?

You'll definitely contend with significant elevation changes, meaning plenty of uphill and downhill lies that demand precise club selection and balance. Don't forget to account for the thinner air affecting ball flight - your drives will carry a bit further, but approach shots can be tricky to judge.

Is playing the Mountain Course a significant splurge, and is it worth the investment?

Yes, expect green fees to be on the higher end, reflecting its world-class design and unparalleled mountain setting. We firmly believe it's worth every penny for the sheer spectacle and unique golfing experience you won't find just anywhere in Canada.

Should I expect any wildlife encounters on the Mountain Course, and how should I react?

Absolutely, you're playing in their backyard! We've often spotted deer, elk, and even bears on the course, especially during quieter times. Maintain a respectful distance, never approach or feed them, and simply enjoy the incredible natural backdrop they provide to your round.

After a challenging round on the Mountain Course, what's your top recommendation for unwinding nearby?

After conquering those mountain greens, we always head straight for the clubhouse patio - the views are simply breathtaking and perfect for reliving your best shots. For dinner, explore the charming mountain town nearby; you'll find some fantastic local eateries with hearty, well-deserved meals.
