Gary Browning routed Stewart Creek through the forested slopes and rocky outcrops of Canmore's Bow Valley, with layered fairways, mountain streams and historic coal-mine features shaping the strategy. The par-71 course stretches to 7,009 yards and pairs demanding elevation changes with views of the Three Sisters, Cascade, Pigeon and Ha Ling mountains. It has appeared in SCOREGolf's Top 100 Courses in Canada since 2004.

What to Expect at Stewart Creek

Why visit

Stewart Creek combines a strong mountain setting with a layout that remains playable for a wide range of groups. Browning shaped layered fairways and subtly sloped greens through forest, streams, lakes and exposed rock, while the elevated first tee immediately opens the trip with a broad view across the valley. Canmore makes the destination easy to build around: golfers can stay in town, play Stewart Creek, add another Bow Valley course, and still have evenings for restaurants and breweries. A three- or four-night itinerary also leaves time for hiking, sightseeing in Banff National Park or a slower afternoon at the clubhouse.

Accommodations

Stay in Canmore, approximately 10 minutes from Stewart Creek. Condo-style resorts such as Stoneridge Mountain Resort and Blackstone Mountain Lodge work well for golf groups because one-, two- and three-bedroom suites provide shared living space and kitchens.

Resort amenities

Stewart Creek supports a full golf day with a 350-yard driving range, grass teeing area when conditions permit, a short-game complex and a 4,000-square-foot putting green.

Plan Your Trip to Stewart Creek

Getting there

Calgary International Airport (YYC) is the primary gateway. Stewart Creek lists a drive of approximately 75 minutes from YYC, while actual travel time can vary with Calgary traffic and weather. A rental vehicle is the most practical option for carrying golf bags and reaching regional courses; airport shuttles serve Canmore, but local transfers to the course still need to be arranged.

Best time to visit
We recommend June through September for the most reliable golf-trip window, with long summer days and easier access to outdoor activities. Late May and early October can offer lower rates, but opening dates, frost delays and mountain weather require more flexibility.
Who it's best for
Buddies groups, couples and scenic-golf travelers who want a Canmore base with access to several Canadian Rockies courses.
