Silvertip Resort, perched high above the town of Canmore in Alberta’s Bow Valley, is a dramatic mountain golf experience that pairs bold design with jaw-dropping scenery. Designed by Les Furber and opened in 1998, this par-72 layout is renowned for its elevation changes, panoramic views, and thrilling shot values—making it one of the most exhilarating rounds in the Canadian Rockies.

Stretching over 7,100 yards from the tips, Silvertip challenges players with narrow, undulating fairways, well-guarded greens, and a routing that climbs and descends through rugged alpine terrain. Each hole is a visual spectacle, framed by towering limestone peaks, wildflower meadows, and dense forests that teem with local wildlife.

The signature par-3 13th offers a stunning drop from an elevated tee to a green nestled far below, with the vast expanse of the Rockies as your backdrop—a true test of distance control and nerve. Other highlights include the par-5 15th, a sweeping downhill hole that dares longer hitters to go for the green in two, and the risk-reward 17th, where precision is paramount.

Silvertip is a course that demands focus and imagination, rewarding those who embrace its challenges and soak in its natural beauty. More than just a round of golf, playing Silvertip is a high-altitude adventure—where the game rises to meet the mountains, and every swing feels like a moment of awe.
