It was built by the Canadian Pacific Railroad for $500,000 dollars, and offically opened for business by the Prince of Wales in 1927. This course is located over a mile high in the Canadian Rockies. The mountains are stunning. Hole #4, a 171 yard par 3, known as the "Devil's Cauldron", has two separate greens with a 45 foot drop to each, and water from tee to green. Very interesting layout. The view of the 14th approach is worth the price of the course alone.
-Banff Springs of Alberta, Canada is an almost indescribably beautiful setting for golf. It lies over a mile high in the splendor of the Canadian Rockies near the border of British Columbia. This is Banf nature at its best--unspoiled and virtually untouched.
Banff features a course which rolls gently along the bow river under the snow capped peaks of Sulphur Mountain, Mount Rundle and Tunnel Mountain.
Ranked as a silver medal course by Golf Magazine, Banff demands accuracy with well-placed traps to snare poor shots.
Signature Hole Comments: The Devil's Cauldron, a magnificent par 3 played from a tee perched high above a tiny clear emerald lake.
