 Wherever the game is played, the name Robert Trent Jones is synonymous with golf architecture at its finest. When the designer revered the world over for his championship courses first arrived in Alberta's Kananaskis Valley, he was moved to say: "It's the best natural setting I've ever been given to work with."
Jones took full advantage of the spectacular site in creating two shining entries in his remarkable resume - the Mount Lorette and Mount Kidd golf courses. Together they are the Kananaskis Country Golf Course, world-class golf at its finest.
In the heart of the Canadian Rockies, less than an hour's drive from either Calgary or Banff, visitors find a golfing paradise. The rugged surrounding peaks tower a full 9,600 feet above sea level, the courses themselves are almost 5,000 feet, forming an unforgettable background, the cascading Kananaskis River a constant and pleasant companion.
Golf Magazine declared: "Kananaskis reigns as the world's pre-eminent 36-hole golf complex." And Golf Digest described Kananaskis as: "Best in Western Canada" "Five-star service." "Two jewels in the Rockies." Golf Digest also awarded the facility its "Great Service" and "Great Value" rating with both the Mt. Lorette and the Mt. Kidd courses receiving 4 1/2 stars.
