We were in the British Columbia area this June and played many golf courses in the area. We saved what we considered to be the "best" for last, Fairmont Banff Springs Course. I overheard my friend inquire prior to booking the tee time about policy regarding inclement weather, in which she was assured that adjustments could be made. After paying... more

Terrible experience. We were there in June - paid $438 for two golfers. Weather changed rapidly and temp dropped to 6 C with a steady rain. We quit after 6 holes. The pro shop staff was adamant that the course was still open and refused to issue a rain check or make any other accommodation. The supervisor made Attila the... more

My first round at The Banff Springs Course was in the late 1980's, and the first tee shot, from the back of the hotel over the Spray River, was something I'll never forget. While they have "restored" the original 18 to the Stanley Thompson designs, the insertion of an additional 9 holes, certainly done for financial reasons, has moved the... more

Quite simply the most spectacular course I've ever had the pleasure to play, even the clouds of mosquitos couldn't detract from a quite incredible 18 holes of golf. I've had the good fortune to have played many of the most famous courses in the world but there is, in my estimation, nowhere in the world that even comes close to... more

Have played the couse over 50 times starting in 1952. Liked it much better when the first tee was at the hotel and finished there. Absolutely the most scenic course I've played. The old number 8 defies description. The last five holes when the wind is howling at 20 - 30 MPH were as good a test as you could... more
