An incredibly dramatic natural setting, refined conditioning and remarkable value defines a course that is enjoyable and playable by all golfers.
That’s Fairview Mountain – distinctly spectacular in a myriad of ways. That’s why SCOREGolf placed it at #47 among the best public courses in Canada. In fact, Canadian Golf Hall of Fame member, and TSN golf analyst Bob Weeks, said he’d pick Fairview Mountain among the Top 100 courses in Canada, regardless of whether they were public or private.
Fairview Mountain has no weaknesses, notes Canadiangolfer.com, while Canadian Golf Traveller magazine called the course a “distinctly spectacular golfing destination.”
Rarely will you find a course with as remarkable a landscape, that creates an unforgettable experience for the golfer. At the same time, with few forced carries, Fairview Mountain is a layout that can be played by all levels of golfer. To top it off, the facility prides itself on its conditioning and reputation for having the best greens in the region.
With more than 200 feet of elevation, majestic vistas, and playable golf, Fairview Mountain has few peers.
Distinctly spectacular indeed.
The Designer
Based in Canmore, Alberta, Les Furber is one of Canada’s most celebrated golf architects. His company, GDS Golf Design Services, was created in 1980, under a design philosophy influenced by Furber’s association with Robert Trent Jones Sr., considered one of the greatest golf designers in history.
Furber’s portfolio includes courses across the world, from the first modern day course in the Czech Republic (Karlstejn Golf Resort), to the first 18 hole course in Cuba (Varadero Golf Club), as well as courses in the USA, Switzerland and Germany.
Built on a reputation of developing creative and playable golf courses, Furber places a premium on unique shot values. His courses are playable but not penal, challenging but not intimidating. The design approach is innovative, and as one can see at Fairview Mountain, completely in tune with the surrounding environment.
