49 SILVERTIP RESORT GOLF GOLF COURSE COURSE PAR 4 ● 464 YARDS CANMORE, AB Silvertip Resort in Canmore, Alberta, offers a stunning escape amid the breathtaking Rocky Mountains. Just an hour from Calgary International Airport, this premier destination combines luxury amenities and experiences with the awe-inspiring beauty of the natural landscape. The resort boasts one of Canmore's best views, making it the ultimate spot for superb dining options, ranging from casual fare to a refined culinary evening. The award-winning Les Furber-designed golf course, known as "Top of the World," is renowned for its beauty and hospitality. Its unique 600 feet of elevation changes provide a challenging yet exhilarating experience for golfers. Ranked among the "Top 59" courses in Canada by ScoreGolf, the course is complemented by sightings of resident bull elk and the occasional bear, enhancing the natural ambiance. With its stunning vistas and expertly crafted holes, Silvertip Golf Resort is not just a place to play golf; it's an unforgettable destination in one of Canada's most picturesque settings. Perched at Silvertip's highest elevation, the 18th hole commands breathtaking panoramic views of the Bow Valley, the majestic Rundle Range and Cascade Mountain stretching toward Banff. Standing on the tee box, you feel as though you're on top of the world, looking 125 feet down to the green that lies 464 yards away. This awe-inspiring beauty is matched by the hole's formidable challenge. The fairway slopes steeply between 140 and 200 yards, with a critical landing shelf at 130 yards that sets up your approach. Miss the mark, and you're faced with a difficult downhill shot to the course's largest and most tiered green, flanked by a water hazard and intricate slopes. Wind conditions and a fairway filled with bunkers demand careful club selection and strategic play. With its dramatic scenery, complex layout, and the added pressure of spectators watching from the scenic patio, Silvertip's 18th hole stands out as one of the most memorable finishing holes in Canada.
