Canada · Course 1
Stanley Thompson's championship 18 is the signature golf experience at Fairmont Banff Springs, routing along the Bow River beneath Mount Rundle and Sulphur Mountain. The par-71 layout is known for strategic bunkering, dramatic mountain scenery and the famous par-3 fourth hole, Devil's Cauldron. Built in 1927, it remains one of Canada's best-known public resort courses.

Tunnel Mountain 9 is the adjoining nine-hole course at Fairmont Banff Springs, designed by Cornish and Robinson and opened in 1989. The par-36 layout is tighter and more compact than the Stanley Thompson 18, with natural hazards, elevation changes and Canadian Rockies views creating a strong option for an extra nine or a shorter golf day.

Fairmont's official golf package combines luxury accommodations with one round on the Stanley Thompson championship course for two adults, plus complimentary golf club storage and complimentary self-parking.
Fairmont Banff Springs works especially well for travelers who want the golf to feel like part of a larger destination rather than a stand-alone round. Stanley Thompson's 18-hole course is the centerpiece: a historic par-71 layout routed through the Bow River valley with Mount Rundle, Sulphur Mountain and surrounding peaks shaping the views and shot perception. The adjoining Tunnel Mountain 9 adds flexibility for arrival-day golf, an extra nine or a shorter round. Off the course, the Fairmont puts lodging, dining, a large spa, pools and resort activities in one place, while Banff town, the Banff Gondola, Lake Louise and Moraine Lake make it easy to build a full Canadian Rockies trip around the golf.
The primary lodging is Fairmont Banff Springs itself, a full-service luxury resort with 724 guest rooms and suites, including upgraded Fairmont Gold accommodations. Staying on-property keeps golfers close to the course, dining, spa and resort activities.
Golf facilities include a full-length driving range with 20 stalls and a private area, three putting greens, a chipping green, practice bunker, golf shop and Stanley's Clubhouse for on-course dining. Resort amenities add a 40,000-square-foot Fairmont Spa, indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, extensive dining and bar options, and guided or self-directed Banff activities.
Each property is selected for proximity to the next round, the kind of evening that fits a long golf trip, and the feel we want for the group.
