Glorious and Free
Every winter, skiers from around the world chase powder through the Canadian Rockies. Once the snow melts, those same mountains become home to some of the most beautiful golf on the planet with lush fairways, turquoise rivers, and postcard views. This September, the Broken Tee Society makes its first trip to the region, with five nights, 90 holes, and two of the most spectacular resorts in North America on the itinerary.
We’ll start at Cabot Revelstoke, the brand’s newest destination, where Rod Whitman’s routing runs across cliffs, creeks and, rock outcrops high above the Columbia River. Then it’s over the Continental Divide to the Fairmont Banff Springs, the “Castle in the Rockies,” and Stanley Thompson’s course below the hotel—one of the most celebrated mountain layouts in the world. Stewart Creek in Canmore completes the lineup, and with coach, lodging, and every tee time handled, all that’s left is to get yourself and your clubs to Calgary.

Trip Itinerary

Fly into Calgary and explore the city at your leisure. If you’d like us to arrange your hotel for the night, let us know at registration. Get a good night’s sleep, because the coach heads for the mountains first thing tomorrow.
Sunday, September 5
Arrival & Cabot Revelstoke
The coach leaves Calgary at 7:45 a.m. and heads west on the scenic Trans-Canada Highway, through Banff and Lake Louise, over Kicking Horse Pass and through Glacier National Park. We’ll reach the Columbia Mountains and Cabot Revelstoke by mid-day, with time to check in and settle before the first round. This afternoon’s loop is a chance to get acquainted with the course before the competition begins. The day closes with a welcome dinner at the resort.
Monday, September 6
Cabot Revelstoke
Our individual Stableford competition tees off in the morning at Cabot Revelstoke. Rod Whitman, working with Dave Axland and Keith Cutten, let the land do most of the work here, routing holes across cliffs, creeks and rock outcrops with the Columbia River far below. The afternoon is open to explore Revelstoke, whether that means riding the gondola up the mountain, heading out on a hike or wandering the historic downtown.
Tuesday, September 7
Fairmont Banff Springs
After breakfast, we board the coach and head back east over Rogers Pass and into Alberta. By lunch we’ll be checking into the Fairmont Banff Springs, known as the “Castle in the Rockies.” That afternoon we take our first loop on the course built by legendary Canadian architect Stanley Thompson. When it opened in 1928, it was the most expensive golf course ever built, and its par-3 fourth, the Devil’s Cauldron, plays over a glacial lake to a green beneath the face of Mount Rundle. The evening is open for dinner in town.
Wednesday, September 8
Fairmont Banff Springs
The morning is free to explore Banff. You can ride the gondola up Sulphur Mountain, soak in the hot springs or walk Banff Avenue. Around noon we head out for a second loop on Thompson’s classic for another round of Stableford before dinner.
Thursday, September 9
Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club
A short ride down the valley brings us to Canmore for lunch and the final round of competition below the Three Sisters Mountains at Stewart Creek. Gary Browning’s course opened in 2000 on land that once held the Canmore coal mines, and old mine entrances still sit beside the first and 14th holes. We’ll head back to Banff for dinner at the Waldhaus, a Bavarian-style restaurant beside Bow Falls, for cocktails, a farewell dinner and a final toast to our bucket-list trip in Western Canada.
Friday, September 10
Breakfast & Departure
After a final breakfast at the Fairmont Banff Springs, we check out and board the coach back to Calgary for afternoon flights home.
