The Maritimes & The Rockies
Canada
Mountain air, long shadows, and fairways beneath the peaks.
On Canada
Banff Springs, Jasper Park, and the Cabot coast: Canada rewards the traveler who does not mind distance. The Rockies give golf a scale that feels borrowed from another century, and Cape Breton gives it a coastline to match.
We arrange the mountain lodges, the charter flights between coast and peak, and the tee times that let you walk slowly through scenery that does not hurry.
From the notebook
No two journeys share an itinerary. These are the places we return to, and the ones we send people to when they trust us.
- Cabot CliffsCoore and Crenshaw on the cliff top. Canada's Pebble, with fescue.
- Cabot LinksThe country's first true links, village-to-sea charm.
- Cape Breton Highlands LinksStanley Thompson's mountains-and-ocean masterpiece.
- Banff SpringsGolf beneath a castle, elk in the rough.
- Jasper ParkThompson's other jewel, lakeside and beloved.
- TobianoBritish Columbia's sagebrush cliffs above Kamloops Lake.
- Fox Harb'rNova Scotia's polished seaside estate, wine cellar included.
And more we argue about.
Off the course
- The drinkNova Scotia's surprising wineries, a Cape Breton single malt, and a fireside dram after the mountain air.
- The waterA canoe on Lake Louise at dawn before the crowds, and whale watching off Pleasant Bay on the Cabot Trail.
- The tableLobster hauled that morning in the Maritimes, Alberta beef in the Rockies, and an unreasonable number of butter tarts.
- For the non-playersThe Icefields Parkway with a driver, spa afternoons at the railway hotels, and Celtic music in a Mabou pub.
A week here, roughly
Choose your Canada: the Maritimes for links and lobster, or the Rockies for railway-hotel grandeur. Either way the golf comes with silence and scale that resorts cannot buy. Layers for the morning, sleeves off by noon.
