Celebrating Enduring Golf Excellence in Canada’s Western Mountain Region

BANFF, 13 March 2025 – As anticipation builds for the upcoming golf season in Western Canada’s majestic mountain regions, enthusiasts eagerly await the opening of the three iconic Fairmont courses in Jasper, Banff, and Whistler. These world-class links are preparing to welcome guests and locals alike, with a special focus on marking the centennial of Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge’s celebrated Stanley Thompson-designed course. Set against stunning mountain backdrops and panoramic views, golfers can look forward to playing these renowned courses, each offering a unique blend of challenging play and luxury ‘stay & play’ amenities that have captivated players from around the world for generations.

Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge Golf Club ~ This award-winning golf course is delighted to welcome golfers back for the 2025 season starting on July 1. For a century, this Stanley Thompson masterpiece has captivated players with its strategic design, panoramic mountain vistas, and iconic holes like Cleopatra, considered one of the best par-3 holes in the world. Following the 2024 wildfire complex, the course will undergo thoughtful enhancements that both honour Thompson’s original vision and adapt it for modern play. From expanded greens to refined mowing lines and rejuvenated bunkers, these improvements will ensure this course – once graced by celebrities like Bing Crosby and Marilyn Monroe during Jasper’s “Hollywood of the North” heyday – maintains its status as one of the world’s finest golf experiences well into the future.
