Stewart Creek Golf & Country Club

Overview: Stewart Creek is an 18-hole mountain course in Canmore, with Gary Browning’s routing moving through a landscape of forest, streams, lakes and exposed rock. The fairways follow the shape of the terrain rather than flattening it into a conventional resort grid. Views of the Three Sisters, Cascade, Pigeon and Ha Ling ranges create a changing backdrop, while the natural corridors between holes keep attention on the ground immediately ahead.

History: Stewart Creek opened on June 1, 2000, as a mountain course designed by Gary Browning. The club’s 25-year history records the opening date and the development of the course within Canmore’s mountain setting. Its current 18-hole routing plays to par 71 and 7,009 yards from the black tees, with several tee options for different distances and abilities.

Did You Know? The official course description singles out streams, lakes and exposed rock among the features built into the routing. Those natural elements shape the sequence of holes and break up the mountain corridors, so a change in elevation can alter both the line of play and the view beyond it. At Stewart Creek, the landscape remains part of the course’s architecture from one tee to the next.
