Fairmont Hot Springs Resort (Mountainside)

Overview: Fairmont Hot Springs Resort’s Mountainside Course is an 18-hole mountain layout in southeastern British Columbia, with views towards the Rocky Mountains and Columbia Lake. The resort describes the course as a long-running part of the property, with spruce and fir trees, fairway wind and wildlife shaping the experience. It is a separate routing from the Riverside Course, which crosses the Columbia River six times. The current official page does not publish one stable par, yardage or architect for Mountainside, so those fields remain open rather than being copied from Riverside or an older guide.

History: Golf has been part of Fairmont Hot Springs for more than fifty years, and the resort now operates Mountainside and Riverside as its two full courses, alongside the nine-hole Creekside course. The property’s resort history and hot-springs setting make it a recognised destination in the Canadian Rockies corridor. Current evidence supports the 18-hole identity and long operating history, but not a precise opening year for this specific Mountainside routing.

Did You Know? Mountainside gets its name from the way the round sits against the Rocky Mountain and Columbia Lake views, but the course’s most distinctive playing detail is the wind moving through the spruce and fir stands. Wildlife is also part of the resort’s stated setting. The companion Riverside course crosses the Columbia River six times, so the two full layouts offer genuinely different landscape stories.
