    Bonus Rounds : This one’s for the kiddos, or for anyone looking for a little more putting practice. Head to the Kimberley Riverside Campground or Elizabeth Lake Lodge in Cranbrook to enjoy some challenging, fun, and all-ages excitement on their mini-putt courses. We hear this is a great way to gain back confidence after being humbled at Shadow Mountain, too.

Our Golf Deals

Around here, we’re firm believers that great golf doesn’t always need to break the bank. This season, take advantage of the exciting specials offered by our 7 championship courses, and save while you play. From mid-week deals, to 10-play passes and early-bird Dewbuster specials, there’s a golf deal for every player who ventures here.

Aside from our traditional golf deals, we also recommend streamlining your accommodations and tee times with our great stay and play packages. Curate your own package through Simply Kimberley, combine adventures with camping and golf through the Kimberley Riverside Campground, or walk from your room to the fairway while staying at Trickle Creek Lodge.

Land in Golf Country

This season, we’re leaving the driving to the ranges and taking advantage of the Canadian Rockies International Airport (YXC) instead. XYC is only a pitching wedge’s distance away from the neighbouring communities of both Kimberley and Cranbrook, and is a quick 7-minute shuttle to the nearest golf course. When a morning flight means teeing off by noon, you best believe we’ll swap summer highway traffic for an easy flight any day of the week. See you there!
