Crowsnest Pass

The course was reopened in the year 2019 following an extensive Gary Browning overhaul, which included three new holes as well as five holes that were completely renovated The layout located at Crowsnest Pass Golf Club can nearly match the grandeur of the majestic Rocky Mountains which flank the entire layout.

Riversdale Resources, owner of the coal mine that is located nearby, swapped a parcel of the land in exchange for the less popular holes on the layout that were required to expand its operations, which allowed the club to revamp the course.

The most memorable holes are the risk-reward par four of 369 yards 11th, the thrilling hole of par four 13th (rated by stroke index of 4) featuring Turtle Mountain as the backdrop and the 547-yard 15th hole, which is where a center line bunker separates the fairway on this lengthy par five.

The architect Gary Browning was quoted as declaring:

"What I'm probably the most proud of is the fact that I believe we've been able to transform Crowsnest Pass into a destination golf course. It's such a stunning location and a gorgeous place to be on. I wanted to offer them something unique and not just pass by and think 'Hey There's the golf course here. It's actually a reason to make a point of going there."
