That’s the magic of golf high atop the Rockies in Alberta.
“The six Canadian Rockies golf courses make for one of the best “golf trails” in North America”, said Cam Mellors recently. “I bring my golf group of 8 up to the Canadian Rockies every year from Florida, because we receive terrific value in the golf package, the restaurants are outstanding and the Canadians are as friendly as advertised”. But Cam had one caution, “just know that you had better bring your ‘A’ game to Silvertip, as that is one tough golf course!”
