Award-Winning Golf Resorts in the Kootenay Rockies
Greywolf Golf Course is the number one public course in British Columbia, according to SCOREGolf, Canada’s leading golf publication (2008). Greywolf’s signature hole, aptly-named “Cliffhanger,” is a challenging stunner. Successful tee shots must clear Hopeful Canyon to land on an island-like green with rocky, vertical drops on three sides.
 Two other Kootenay Rockies golf resorts also made SCOREGolf’s 2008 “Top 100 Canadian Courses” list: Invermere’s Eagle Ranch Golf Resort and The Springs Course at Radium Resort. Both of these courses wind alongside the mighty Columbia River, with ancient bluffs and hoodoos at Eagle Ranch, and pristine views of the Columbia Valley at The Springs.
New Golf Courses in the Kootenay RockiesShadow Mountain, located near Cranbrook, is expected to open July 2009, and will feature one of the longest layouts in BC (6,767m/7,400yd). Redstone Golf Resort – Canada’s first Les Furber Signature course – has recently reached completion, and will be open for the 2009 season.
