It was a beautiful, Friday, spring afternoon and my Hubs whisked me away to play 18 holes. It was…read morethe perfect beginning of what could have been a fabulous afternoon. The way we started was the worst case scenario. They were backed up by about 6 parties and no one was tee'ing off on time. I think this could have been because there was not a Starter present. Then some big mouthed guy about 3 parties behind us decides he was going to take over and start running the show and tell everyone what they are going to do. Ya, no. Go sit down. Since everyone was backed up we felt very rushed. The ladies in front of us were slower than us so we were waiting at every hole for them to clear while the jerks behind us were hitting and landing their balls about 10 feet away from where we were on the fairway! We told them to back off at every hole, for 9 holes. Apparently our safety was of no concern to them or the course. Where was the Marshal???? We didn't see one even once! The back 9 holes weren't as rushed and a little more relaxed, but it took that entire time to get over the anger of the first. We may be back one day and I hope to update my review. Hopefully they will be more organized next time we decide to play there. We golf this course about once every five years so it will be a while before we are convinced to go back.

Not somewhere I'd recommend if you just want to fire off shots at the driving range. The setup is…read moretight and narrow, with your standard driving mats with their built in tees. But then they have a section of rope to shoot from real grass a few feet in front of the tee offs. As soon as someone steps into this area everyone, else has to step forward. Space was tight without the barriers so my uncle and I took turns from our respective spots out of fear that we could clash into each other or the people beside us. I felt rushed with the line of people waiting their turn and didn't enjoy my time. It would be awesome if they had a tiered set up if they want to offer real grass shots. The man who took our payment was polite and explained how their ball machine worked. A woman at the counter in the pro shop however gave off judgemental vibes with uncalled long stares at my uncle and his service dog. I will not be going back and look for more spacious options in the future.

They also have seating inside which we escaped to when a brief rain shower started. I've been overeating on this vacation so this time I opted for something lighter, their Classic Caesar Salad. It was a nice change from my burger and pizza diet. This salad was well prepared and had a sprinkle of double smoked bacon on top. The 'not so classic' dressing as stated on their menu was excellent, just a little creamy and boldly had that solid Caesar taste. This was a much better salad than average. Our relaxing lunch was well-served by the staff, including taking the time to chat with us and using our phone to take a group photo. We learned the G-7 Summit leaders, who were in Kananaskis a couple of weeks prior, had all dined at The Summit.

This is one of the most extreme mountain golf courses I've ever played...the elevation gains and…read moredrops were almost too dramatic. Foreshadowing of this was from the very first hole where from the middle of the fairway 100yds to the green...the green was so downhill you can't even see it. I would also consider this a 'target' golf course. While many holes are well-presented to you from tee to green, there's plenty of holes where you pick an aiming line and distance and hope for the best. They also have a physical bullseye target on the 18th hole. There's also some uphill and sidehill lies where you can barely stand. I've never had to grip down to the shaft of my club multiple times until playing here. I played here in early July right after a ton of rainfall in the area. The course was surprisingly still in great shape with no signs of water damage, and the fairways were a good mix of dry on top but lush below. The greens were good sized for the holes and had many options for pin placements. The best part of the course are all the spectacular views you get. There's hundreds of photo-worthy shots from this course. The workers and amenities were also great. We ate lunch after our round on their outdoor patio. The food was great and reasonably priced. It was also fun watching groups finish up on the dramatic 18th hole. Overall, it was a enjoyable experience and day at Silvertip and I would recommend the experience to any avid golfer.

Forward tees were around 4700 yds which is a little short but fit well with my game. You could do red/gold combo for 5000 yds but I stuck with red only. It helped as I didn't have to hit over long grass or other hazards. The course was in great shape. Fairways were green, greens rolled true, some tee boxes were a little rough but over all in great shape. Not a ton of water but lots of sand and some narrow fairways. The course was busy and we were paired with a member which was as great as he had lots of insight as to how to play each hole. Staff was helpful. The round was slow, around 4.5 hours but there were a lot of people on the course. Carts had gps and nice seating. The views were outstanding. So many picture perfect backdrops throughout the course. It was pricey but we loved it.

I had the rare opportunity to play the Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course (The Stanley Thompson 18)…read morewith some international friends. This is a bucket list golf course for many golfers. The course has won many prestigious awards for being not only a top course in Canada but in the entire world. The course is set on the Bow River and you are surrounded by majestic mountains. The pictures will not do it justice as I spend more time gawking at my environment than focusing on my game. The course is almost 100 years old, so it's a fairly straight-forward design with larger round greens and straight & flatter fairways. The challenges here are the bunkers and keeping the ball between the trees. The highlight hole is hole#4, which is a Par3 called the Devil's Cauldron where you hit down to a green 100ft below you while looking straight into the prettiest mountainside in North America. Watching the ball fly and drift down again this backdrop is amazing. You are really paying for the scenery and location...if you airlifted the hole/course designs out of Banff and placed in the AZ desert it wouldn't garner much attention. The wildlife around the course is very prevalent. I saw a lot of elk and deer, and then on the 16th tee we saw a black bear cub. We are just glad we didn't run into mama bear! On the day we played, there was no running water, which meant no indoor toilet use and no hot food. This was disappointing, but I'm sure it's been resolved by the time you're reading this. The other eye-popper is the green fee can range up to over $500 CAD, luckily we had a deal and paid ~$140 US. For $140 US I would play again if I was back in the area. Overall, this was a very memorable experience and I highly recommend to at least play it once if you're a golf fanatic.

There are two downhill par three holes with dramatic elevation changes overlooking a gorgeous river with the Rockies in the distance. Since the sand oil business seems to be set up at the base of this course it has marred the view but this is easily overlooked and ignored. 0.5 deduction. Routing and shot values 4.5: I walked the front nine. This is very doable. The shot values and aim lines are very good to generous fairways on the front nine. This is where you want to score. The par 5 2nd is reachable and the elevation changes aren't overly taxing for walkers. The back nine is NOT walkable. The pro-staff was helpful and made sure we took a cart for the back nine. Long walks between holes and Steep terrain make the back nine cart necessary. Golf carts are gas powered as necessary on hilly courses. The back nine plays down into a valley for several holes and you lose the majesty of the Rockies during that time. The houses that border the course come into play more than I like. The back is much more demanding and narrow so be prepared and avoid the big number. 0.5 deduction for the houses. Staff 4.5: friendly in the pro shop and cafe. Cart guys look exhausted and were just helpful enough; Very perfunctory. 0.5 deduction. Also the pull carts they have are the giant wheel type that too over with regularity on hilly terrain. They would be best served by having 4 wheeled push carts by Clicgear of Sun Mountain. Greens 4.0: they were in good shape but starting to get overrun by poana grass. Hence several putts were knocked offline by flowering poana; a weed that is a curse to all golf courses. I'm a 6 handicap and had played banff springs and heritage pointe on this trip. Perfect greens in both instances with heritage taking the prize. Pace of play 5: played in 4:25. No rangers on this go around but no issues either. The foursomes in front of us kept pulling away, playing fast. Much appreciated!! Overall, this course deserves 5 stars because it was a joy to play. My advice is to walk the front and ride the back nine. Enjoy the scenery and play for the spectacular shot!

I was most thankful for this as they offered some hot beverages! We got hot cocoa with Baileys which definitely helped to warm up my hands, tummy and spirits. We look forward to when we can play again under sunny skies. We also enjoyed dinner too in the clubhouse. Because they were setting up for a special event in the main dining room, Melody sat us in the Members Lounge which was very nice as it afforded views of the golf course and mountain. Melody was very welcoming and gracious. Maddy took very good care of us ... running back and forth asking our questions of the kitchen and getting us refills on our drinks.
