The 9 Best Golf Courses In Canada

Nearly 20% of Canadians play golf, which is quite significant when there are only 35 million people living in Canada. But the country is home to a lot of golf courses, which must try and outdo each other for the most impressive surroundings. Here are some of the best golf courses in the country.

1. Banff Springs Golf Course

Built in 1928 by famous Canadian golf course architect Stanley Thompson, the golf course at Fairmont Banff Springs has to have one of the best backdrops in the world. It’s surrounded by the Rocky Mountains and runs parallel to Bow River. The Banff Springs Golf Course is a 27-hole course, and “amateurs and professionals alike are constantly amazed by its challenging layout.” It’s open from May to October.

2. Highland Links Golf Course

Located on the coastline within Cape Breton Highlands National Park, this golf course has the most dramatically diverse topography of any golf course in the world, according to Robert Thompson. The landscape he describes includes mountains, the forest, and the beach. Highland Links is a challenging 18-hole course at Keltic Lodge Resort and Spa.
