Named the best golf resort in Canada in 1998, Jasper Park Lodge Golf & Country Club continues its tradition of excellence. Carved out of the thick forests of the Rocky Mountains in 1925, the golf course quickly set the standard for all other courses to follow.

Its meanderings take you through dense forests, over rolling terrain and beside a spectacular, glacial lake. The view of the mountains from each hole is more breath taking than the last and combine to give you golfing experience that cannot be forgotten.

A perfect example of Stanley Thompson's classic touch on this course can be seen on the par 5, third hole. A 454-yard blind dogleg right, golfer's will be challenged to think their way through the hole. Shorter hitters will have to hit a drive to the left-hand side of the fairway while longer hitters can consider cutting over the trees on the right.

The fairway narrows for your second shot and tricky-lies are not uncommon, so be sure to make good contact. Those going for the green should be sure to take enough club. The grenade bunkers that surround the green can suddenly make par seem like a great score.

Whether you consider yourself an expert or a beginner, Jasper Park Lodge is a golfing experience you must not miss. This year come discover all that Canadian golf can be. Play the Jasper Park Lodge Golf & Country Club with BC Golf Vacations.
