Mount Kidd is the southern course at Kananaskis Country Golf Course, with the Kananaskis River shaping much of the early routing before the layout turns into the forest. Robert Trent Jones Sr.’s par-72 design measures 7,136 yards from the black tees and finishes with a 639-yard par 5. Six tee options, including a 3,534-yard forward layout, give groups a wide range of playing distances.

Mount Lorette is the northern course at Kananaskis Country Golf Course, moving through forest and past lakes before a stretch beside the Kananaskis River on the back nine. The Robert Trent Jones Sr. design plays to par 72 and reaches 7,232 yards from the black tees. Its 267-yard par-3 fourth is a demanding back-tee test, while six tee options allow golfers to select a more comfortable distance.

What to Expect at Kananaskis

Why visit

Kananaskis works especially well for a trip built around two days of golf and time outdoors. Playing Mount Kidd and Mount Lorette gives the group a different course each day while keeping the same base. Six tee options help accommodate golfers with different abilities, and the river, ponds and mountain walls give the rounds a strong sense of place. After golf, we suggest a meal at Summit Restaurant or an evening back in the village. Couples can add the Nordic Spa, while an extra night creates space for a guided hike or a lake outing. It is a practical choice for travelers who want golf and a mountain vacation in the same itinerary.

Accommodations

Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge is a village base with guest rooms, suites and family accommodations, approximately 10 minutes by car from the golf course. Its Black Diamond Club offers an upgraded stay in a separate building with lounge access and concierge service.

Resort amenities

Plan Your Trip to Kananaskis

Getting there

Fly into Calgary International Airport (YYC), approximately 117 km from Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge. Allow roughly 1h 30m–2h by car as a planning estimate, depending on traffic and road conditions, using the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 40 from the north. A rental car makes golf and sightseeing easier; private airport transfers can also be requested through the lodge’s concierge. The lodge’s own valley shuttle is a separate paid service and does not run to Calgary or Canmore.

Frequently Asked Questions about Kananaskis

How many golf courses are at Kananaskis?

Kananaskis Country Golf Course has two 18-hole courses, Mount Kidd and Mount Lorette. We recommend playing both over separate days for a first visit.

Is the hotel on the golf course?

Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge is in Kananaskis Village, about 7.5 km or a 10-minute drive from the golf facility. Plan a rental car or a confirmed local transfer for each round.

Which airport should we use?

Calgary International Airport (YYC) is the closest major gateway. The lodge lists a distance of approximately 117 km; allow roughly 1h 30m–2h as a driving estimate and extra time for traffic or weather.

How many nights should we stay?

We suggest three nights for one round on each course, or four nights to add a spa or sightseeing day. This keeps travel days flexible and gives the group time beyond golf.

When is the best time for a golf trip?

Our recommended planning window is June through September. Check exact season dates before booking travel and bring layers for cool mornings and changing mountain conditions.

Are the courses suitable for mixed handicaps?

Both courses offer six tee options, including shorter forward tees introduced during the restoration. Choose tees by comfortable playing distance so golfers of different abilities can enjoy the same round.

Do we need a Kananaskis Conservation Pass?

Vehicles parked in the designated pass area generally need a Kananaskis Conservation Pass, including visitors to golf courses and hotels in publicly accessible parking. Check your vehicle’s coverage and exemptions, and register the correct licence plate through Alberta’s official pass service.

Is Nordic Spa access included with a lodge stay?

Only if the selected offer includes it; a standard room booking should not be assumed to include spa admission. The spa is for adults 18 and older, and hydrotherapy reservations use a selected arrival time.

Does the golf rate include a cart?

The course’s individual green fees and rental charges are listed separately. Some lodging offers, including the published Pomeroy Golf + Stay package, include cart rental; check the exact inclusions in your quote.

Can we add another course to the trip?

Yes. Stewart Creek, Silvertip, Canmore Golf & Curling Club and Brewster’s Kananaskis Ranch are regional options. Add a dedicated golf day and account for the drive from the village rather than treating them as part of the same property.
