Welcome to 149 Stemwinder Drive. You are officially in the heart of mountain golf heaven. To help you settle the bets and enjoy the views, here is our "Local’s Guide" to the signature moments at our nearby courses:
The Kimberley Big Three (Under 10 Mins)
Trickle Creek Golf Resort: Don't let the beauty of the 4th hole distract you—it’s a massive drop-off par 3 that requires total focus.
Purcell Golf: Soak in the history on Hole #6, offering one of the most scenic views of the Rockies in the entire valley.
Bootleg Gap: The 12th hole is the star here—a stunning par 3 nestled right along the St. Mary River. Listen for the water!
The Cranbrook Contenders (20-24 Mins)
Wildstone Golf Course: As Canada’s first Gary Player design, you have to test your nerves on the 9th hole, a beautiful but treacherous par 5.
Shadow Mountain: Home of "The Monster" (Hole #17). It’s a 606-yard par 5. Good luck—you’ll need that hot tub after this one!
St. Eugene Resort: The 13th hole offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Fisher Peak. Keep your camera ready.
Cranbrook Golf Club: A classic parkland finish. Watch out for the hidden breaks on the 18th green right in front of the clubhouse.
The 19th Hole (Right Here!)
After your final putt, head back to the manor to recover like a pro:
Cold Drinks: The lower-level bar is ready for the "post-round post-mortem."
The Soak: The hot tub is heated and waiting on the back deck to soothe those swing muscles.
BBQ: The grill is ready for a championship steak dinner.
