DESTINATION GOLF IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES
What makes mountain golf in Alberta and British Columbia so spectacular? A number of things!
- The weather is mild and not too hot, allowing you to play all day!
Alberta summer days are looong which means more time for golf! Play into the cool evenings and watch the sun set!
The views from the courses are unbeatable! With backdrops of georgous mountain panoramas, you'll be busy taking pictures at every hole! That's what makes it destination golf!
Alberta's low humidity allows you to enjoy golf even on the warmest summer days.
The thinner air at high elevations allows the ball to go 10-15% farther!
Destination Golf in the Rocky Mountains is something you will really enjoy! The views are spectacular... but remember to keep your eye on the ball!
Interested in learning about someone's personal experiences on various courses in Alberta? Here is a nice little article that will give you an idea about what it is like to golf here in Alberta.
