The Jasper Park Lodge Golf Course is set to open on May 3, 2013 (weather permitting).
It took 50 teams of horses and 200 men working together for a year in order to clear the land of boulders and debris to prepare it for what would become one of Canada's premiere golf courses. Since the opening of the mountain golf course in 1925, this jewel set deep in the heart of the Canadian Rockies has been the setting of unforgettable memories for all of those who come to play at this luxury Alberta golf destination.

Stanley Thompson, Canada's master golf course architect, displayed some of the finest work of his career with this design. The 18-hole layout offers elevated tee boxes, dramatic bunkering and holes aligned with distant mountain vistas. He built wide fairways that carve through thick forest, and maintained a partnership with the environment's natural contours, blending beautiful landscapes with challenging terrain. As a result, few golf courses in the world can match the rugged majesty of this national treasure.
The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge initiated a restoration project in 1994 to return this legendary Canada golf course back to its initial layout. Using Thompson's original blueprints from 1924, the main focus of the
project was spent on restoring the bunkers and tee boxes in an effort to recreate the fundamental design.Highly acclaimed for its challenging layout and spectacular beauty, the Jasper Park Lodge Golf Club is rated by SCOREGolf Magazine as the #1 Best Golf Resort in Canada. It has also received 4.5 Stars from Golf Digest, the Gold Tee award from Meetings and Incentive Magazine 7 years in a row, and the Successful Meetings Magazine Pinnacle Award 6 years running.
Today, this award-winning Alberta golf course remains one of the ''must play'' courses in Canada; it's a true classic that combines the best of what Canada golf is all about -- a love of the history and the game itself. A driving range is available, as are club and shoe rentals. For more information and tee times, please call the Jasper golf offices at (780) 852-6090. Your mountain golf vacation awaits!
