Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee A short Par 4 to start but not without difficulty.
From The Fairway
On The Green A large bunker will swallow up any offline lay up shots and further bunkers to either side of the green will catch any errant tee shots going for the green. The green itself slopes quite severely from front to back and requires a delicate approach to hit and hold the green.

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee A fairly long Par 4, with driving accuracy imperative should you want to hit the green in two !
From The Fairway The trees bordering both sides of the fairway give the impression that it is more narrow than it actually is.
On The Green Approach shots to the green should favour the right hand side to allow the ball to feed onto the green.

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee A difficult green to hit and hold means that the tee shot is very important on this hole.
From The Fairway Trees on both sides of the fairway and an out of bounds down the left hand side increase the difficulty. A deep, front left bunker,
On The Green a false front and a severe slope off to the right means that club selection is very important to the approach shot which should favour the left half of the green leaving a fairly flat putt.

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee The first of five Par 3’s on the course and is the second shortest of them all.
From The Fairway
On The Green An elevation change and a plateau green means that club selection can be difficult. Couple this with bunkers short and left as well as a green that slopes back to front results in a tricky hole.

Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Fairly straightforward driving hole with a generous fairway.
On The Green The green is fast and slopes from right to left meaning that most approach shots will have to be played short and to the right to allow the ball to finish on the green unless you are able to hit the ball very high and can get it to stop on a dime!

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee Trees and out of bounds up the left hand side of this hole make for a more difficult tee shot which most players will naturally favour to the right half.
From The Fairway The fairway slopes from left to right meaning that anyone that doesn’t take the brave route up the left of the hole will more often than not have their ball run into the first or second cut of rough.
On The Green Playing from the right hand side is far more difficult than the left as you are approaching the green over a bunker and across the narrowest part of it.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee The shortest hole on the course and stroke index 18 may give the belief that this hole is easy,
From The Fairway
On The Green however, overshooting the green can leave a very tough up and down, especially with a back pin position. Bunkers on either side of the green and one short mean that a high, accurate tee shot is required here.

Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee One of the most daunting tee shots on the course with trees hugging the left hand side and out of bounds on the right.
From The Fairway A fairway that slopes sharply uphill means that the hole plays longer than it’s yardage and often leaves a blind shot to the green if your tee shot doesn’t get far enough up the hill.
On The Green An out of bounds close to the back of the green and bunkers either side make accuracy and correct club selection a must with the approach shot.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee The 9th hole named “The Loch” refers to Townhill Loch that is situated to the left of the green and overlooks the hole.
From The Fairway A concrete drainage ditch hazard that cuts the fairway in half is well in range of a lot of players off the
On The Green tee and forces players to choose whether to lay up short and leave a longer approach or gamble that they can carry it and leave a shorter shot in. Carrying the ditch leaves a much easier shot to a green that is surrounded with long grass bankings and a greenside bunker on the right. Risk and reward!

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee The back nine starts with four tough holes and, along with the 8th hole, this tee shot is prO-Bably the biggest cause of many ruined scorecards
From The Fairway . A fairway sloping towards the out of bounds coupled with a prevailing head wind make for a very challenging hole!

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee The signature hole at Canmore GC is number 11 “Quarry”.
From The Fairway This is aptly named as the green sits well below the level of the fairway and is blind on the approach. A tee shot of up to 240 yards will leave a mid to short iron into
On The Green the green which has a marker pole to indicate the direction. The only safe area to miss this green is short as a burn and out of bounds are long and left with bunkers both left and right. It really is a case of green or bust!

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee The third of four tough starting holes on the back nine is number 12.
From The Fairway
On The Green The longest Par 3 on the course at 200 yards off the medal tees means a long tee shot is required. Bunkers to the right of the green and a gully full of long grass make this an intimidating shot.

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee The second Par 3 in a row and although it has a stroke index of 13 it consistently plays as one of the hardest holes on the course.
From The Fairway
On The Green At 188 yards it is fairly long and with out of bounds to the left, a deep greenside bunker on the right and a green that slopes severely from left to right, this is a very tough hole. Walking away with a 3 feels like birdie.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee Hole 14 is a welcome break after 4 tough holes in a row,
From The Fairway although it is not without danger as trees border both sides of the fairway. At 347 yards and running steeply downhill, meaning that it plays a lot shorter than its yardage, long hitters can go for
On The Green the green or at least get very close. Due to how short the hole plays an iron or hybrid off the tee will still only leave a fairly short approach shot and is a good strategy for anyone hanging on to a score.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee The final Par 3 at Canmore GC is once again fairly tricky.
From The Fairway
On The Green There is a large greenside bunker on the right and, as the green slopes from right to left, this forces players to hit over the bunker to have any chance of holding the green. Further bunkers short and to the left stop you trying to run a low shot into this green.

Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee PrO-Bably the most birdied hole on the course and a stroke index of 17 confirms this.
From The Fairway
On The Green A short par 4 of only 258 yards means that the green is in range for a lot of players, but beware missing to the right off the tee leaves an extremely difficult approach shot as the green is small and very firm.

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee The longest hole on the course at 430 yards, number 17 is a difficult hole to achieve par on.
From The Fairway A thick patch of trees run along the left hand side of the fairway leading up to the green but sparse trees on either side leading up to this means that the tee shot appears fairly generous. Do not be fooled by this as a bunker on the right of the fairway at around 210 yards will catch any errant tee shots and makes hitting the green in 2 substantially harder.
On The Green A large bunker short of the green on the right and a greenside bunker on the left means that accuracy is key when playing the approach shot to this large green.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee The final hole runs steeply uphill and makes the hole play considerably longer than its yardage due to this, however, if you have the power to carry to the top of the the initial steep slope then the hole is massively more manageable.
From The Fairway Fairway bunkers to the left and right are like magnets to off centre tee shots and catching one of those almost always removes the possibility of going for the green, meaning an up and down for par!
