CANADIAN ROCKIES GOLF IN THE NEWS




SPECIALS, SALES AND MORE

Stewart Creek will draw the name of a past guest to win Golf for a Year for play throughout 2011. The drawing will take place October 10. Are you entered to win? Tee times are still available: Golf is $109 from September 27 until October 10, including a sleeve of Titleist Pro V1 golf balls. Call 877-993-4653 or email reservations@scgolf.ca to play. Visit the pro shop for end-of-season discounts on apparel and in-stock golf clubs as well.

Do you need to get away for the day? Visit Silvertip Resort and enjoy 18 holes of golf from Monday September 27th until closing for $125 per person. Includes use of a shared power cart and all practice facilities. This offer is valid 7 days a week. Book your 18 holes online here.

Visitors to Canmore Golf & Curling Club will be delighted at new happenings on the course: the club received a $100,000 grant for golf course improvements as part of the Community Facility Enhancement Program. The project has begun with development of a fourth set of tees on holes 3, 11, 14 and 17. Take a look, play a round, and visit the pro shop, where select apparel is now 50% off.

Each has a Stanley Thompson-designed golf course rated the best in the nation - and open for play a few more weeks - but The Fairmont Banff Springs and The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge are spectacular fall and winter resort destinations. There are more amenities and activities than one can enjoy in a stay, though many leave the better for trying.
