Golf has been a tradition in the Canadian Rockies for a very long time. In this part of the world the sport of golf is very much revered. In the months from spring through to the end of fall, golf is a major draw for visitors from all over, just as much as skiing is in winter. The splendid backdrop of gargantuan mountains, the pure unsullied air, the lush, green grass framed by sky-scraping evergreens and the seemingly endless, deep-blue skies all lend to making a visit to the Canadian Rockies any golfer’s trip to paradise. Whether the choice is the Alberta Rockies, the British Columbia Rockies or ideally both, the Canadian Rockies are guaranteed to delight.
WHEN TO VISIT
Depending on what part of the region being visited—the season on the British Columbia side of the range is slightly longer—the golf season in the Canadian Rockies generally lasts from May until mid to late October, depending on the last and first snowfall.
CLIMATE
Being mountain terrain, the climate can be unpredictable. The bad news is that snow in the Rockies at high altitudes is technically possible during any month of the year. The good news is that summer snow is rare and if it does occur, will not last long. Rain is much more likely than snow, helping to keep the courses in excellent condition. This said, very long and pleasantly warm summer days are the rule rather than the exception. Temperatures range from average highs of 12°C in May to 23°C in July. Fall is a great time to visit as crowds are much less, the weather is still good, and the fall colours make the scenery even more beautiful. The average high in September is 17°C.
