Silvertip Golf Course



After checking out from the Delta Kanananskis we headed back north into Canmore to play Silvertip golf course. When researching the courses before my trip I have to admit that this course seemed to have the best views. Well pictures do not lie this facility has more elevation changes then any course I have ever been on.

Just like Stewart Creek, Silvertip is built into the mountainside. The biggest difference is Stewart Creek's fairways were pretty flat, Silvertip there were times when I could have used a rope just to make sure I didn't fall over. Silvertip was the only course on the trip to have gps on the course which helped out with all the elevated greens. Quite a few of the holes also have very nice townhomes adjacent to the fairways that provide spectacular views.

Carved from the natural beauty of the Canadian Rockies, SilverTip is a world-class, 7200-yard championship course. Designed by the renowned golf architect Les Furber, SilverTip is as challenging as it is spectacular. SilverTip offers 18 holes of beautifully designed golf overlooking the spectacular Bow Valley corridor, deep in the heart of the Rocky Mountain wilderness.

After the round we had a great steak dinner in the clubhouse. The clubhouse was also hosting an wedding ceremony and reception.
