Well sadly Mother Nature wins again! To no one’s surprise we are closed for the season now. Despite the terrible weather lately our team wants to have one last toast on our beautiful patio to celebrate the incredible season you all gave us! Thanks so much for a great 2018!!
It’s 3:00 am on the day of our opening and we are too excited to sleep!! It’s like Christmas Eve and the day before going to Disnerworld all wrapped up into one. Thank you all for all of the love and support over the past 5 years. So proud to be back!

You are looking at our good friend Richard Kleibrink! He incredibly used a 9 iron from 191 yards on the always tough 4th hole of Mt. Lorette to get our 21st hole in one of the year and his first after 45 years of golf. 191 yards... 9 iron??? Wow. Welcome to the

We r overwhelmed by all of your amazing support during our 1st day of online bookings. Unfortunately despite planning for high volumes of traffic, r online system is also overwhelmed & down temporarily. Our team is working hard at fixing the problem & will get up & running asap

@YourAlberta
to allow all of us to re-open responsibly & safely! For the game of golf we’re elated to be part of the solution for our community to provide a safe medium to get exercise for mental health and well being!
When Kananaskis 2.0 was conceived, we wanted to make this a special place for people of all ages to spend time with loved ones. This video embodies exactly what we had in mind!! Thanks George for sharing this beautiful video of 95 yr old Maya playing Mt. Lorette this week!
A look at our new 22 foot long fireplace on the back patio in our clubhouse. Can’t wait to see people around it during the golf season. Gonna be such a cool spot to enjoy a post game meal and drink with your foursome!!

Congrats to Rob Rishaug on braving some less than ideal conditions at the start of his round to show his brother and their wives how to play 8 Kidd only taking one shot! He hit a 9 iron from 145 yards for his 1st ever ace! Thanks for making the time to join us Rob!

For anyone keeping score since Re-opening in 2018. It’s Mother Nature 2 - Kananaskis Golf -0 - in terms of getting snowed out before the season is “supposed” to end. Sadly we had to make the decision today to close for the 2019 season. Thank you all for an incredible season!!

It’s hard to find the words to summarize a day that left far too many of our friends and supporters frustrated and disappointed, especially on Twitter. Here is a heartfelt attempt. We pledge to be better.
Congrats to Don Coulter who is a true testament to NEVER GIVING UP on the dream of getting a hole in one! After playing golf for 64 years he finally got his first hole in one on 17 Lorette using a 6 iron from 146 yards!! BOOM! So Awesome!

Today marks the 7th anniversary of the flood and it provides us with the perfect opportunity to say THANK YOU for all of your love and support to help us come back better than ever! We are here because of you and honoured to get to spend time together!
Turf school doesn’t teach this: Our Assistant Superintendent Max spent the morning on the water to retrieve an “accidental slippage” of a 6 iron on Hole 1 Lorette. Remember to grip those clubs, even on practice swings ✍🏽
2/2- as it relates to our opening date- with a large amount of snow over the winter and in particular April, we find ourselves behind where we normally are in terms of getting Mt. Kidd & Lorette ready for you to enjoy! As a result we are planning for June 1 as our 1st day in 2020
When you do something you do it right. That’s exactly what our guest Simon Twogood did when he got his first ever hole in one...(wait for it...)...ON A PAR 4!!! What?? Please congratulate him on getting his first ever hole in one on our VERY CHALLENGING 277 yard 5th on Mt. Kidd
Happy Friday! Hope your day is off to as beautiful of a start as ours is!! Reminder every day of how lucky we are to live where we do. Enjoy your Fathers Day weekend!!

Hey hey!! How about our latest hole in one hero!! 14 yr old Connor C. recorded his first hole in one after playing for only 8 years! The best part was that his Dad got to be there to witness it! From our entire K-family- CONGRATS CONNOR! Please give Connor a shoutout!!
#kaceclub
Congrats to Brian Martin who recorded his 1st hole in one in 45 years of playing! He used a 7 iron from 154 yards on 6 Lorette & had an audience of our Maintenance team around the green who started jumping, cheering & applauding him as it went in! Welcome to the

Brian!
Congratulations to Kim Tom on his first ever hole in one today! Kim aced the par 3 twelfth on our Mount Kidd course. “It was a good drawing 8 iron over the front bunker on the green, I didn’t even see the ball go in until we walked up and looked in the hole - there it was!”
What a beautiful part of the world that we get to call home!! Winter or summer, there are nothing but great opportunities to get some fresh air and enjoy quality family time to allow yourself to decompress, relax, and just enjoy each other...safely!
