Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course

Driving Directions

Resort, $150.00 - $150.00

This hotel has a championship eighteen hole course and a regulation nine hole course. Both courses are situated on rugged, hilly terrain and offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and Bow River. The rolling fairways can create awkward lies and the greens, while only slightly undulating, are difficult to read. The signature hole is #4 on the Stanley Thompson Course, a 199-yard, par 3, nicknamed "The Devil's Cauldron." One of the most photographed holes in the world, it features a 100-foot drop from tee to green and plays across a crystal-clear, glacier-carved lake. The long, unkempt rough places an emphasis on accuracy.
