Straightforward Stanley Thompson course with awesome scenery. The fairways were in good shape, the rough was dry and forgiving because of that, and the fescue will eat your golf ball on some holes. Good variety of difficulty for a shorter course.
Marshalls were very kind when they asked us to pick up the pace and didn’t make us feel bad about some slower players.
Will definitely plan to play here again!

Worth a visit.

Despite the challenging conditions, we were captivated by the stunning scenery and vowed to return one day for a second shot. This time, we were blessed with nearly perfect weather: sunny, warm, and with only a light breeze.
Waterton Lakes Golf Course is a truly special place. Be aware that the course's highest point is at an elevation of 1,330 meters (4,365 ft), so if you're not used to the thinner air, walking the course can be quite a workout. The layout, a classic Stanley… read full review
