Stewart Creek sits at the top of the Three Sisters neighbourhood, ten minutes east of downtown Canmore and 25 minutes from Banff. Gary Browning, the Calgary architect, laid it out in 2000 on ground once worked for coal, and the old mine entrances still appear beside the play. It is a members’ club, but visitors book public tee times online, and every green fee includes a GPS power cart and use of the practice areas. For a Rockies trip based in Canmore it is the closest championship course, and Score Golf has kept it in its Canadian top 100 since 2004.

The round, in perspective.
Browning cut layered fairways through pine forest and over rock outcrops, with mountain streams, lakes and subtle slopes in the greens. The mining theme runs through the round. The opening hole plays from an elevated tee and has a refurbished mine entrance beside it, and the par-four 14th has another to the left of the fairway; it measures 294 yards from the back, so a long hitter can try for the green over a tall tree. An old mine cart sits near the 10th tee. The 15th, the hole named after the creek, plays over water in front of the green, and the 16th, Hanging Wall, is a severe dogleg right. Five sets of tees run from short to over 7,100 yards. Score Golf has ranked it 29th in Canada since 2018, and it has been an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary since 2004.

Make the trip work.
Rental sets are TaylorMade and cost C$80, including a sleeve of balls. Same-day replay rounds and juniors aged 18 and under get 40% off the posted rate. The dress code is stricter than at many mountain courses: men need a collared shirt, women’s sleeveless tops must have a collar, and denim and board shorts are out. From 28 September the course runs daily crossovers, with prime tee times between 10am and 12.30pm. The range closes at 4.30pm on Thursdays for maintenance, so warm up early that day.
Calgary International (YYC) is about 75 minutes east; the club puts Calgary’s city limits at 50 minutes. Leave the Trans-Canada at the Three Sisters Parkway exit (Exit 93), just east of Canmore, climb the hill, turn left at the four-way stop, keep right at the roundabout and follow the road to the top. Edmonton is about three and a half hours away.
Canmore is the natural base, with hotels, condos and restaurants ten minutes downhill. The town lies just outside Banff National Park, so you only need a park pass on the days you drive into the park. The Malcolm Hotel in the Spring Creek area of Canmore is one of the larger hotels in town. Banff, 25 minutes west, has more choice, including Fairmont Banff Springs, but costs more in summer. The clubhouse restaurant has a deck over the course and a fireplace inside, and non-golfers are welcome.
Make a trip of it.
Silvertip, also in Canmore, sits on the opposite side of the valley. Kananaskis Country Golf Course is about 40 minutes away via the Trans-Canada and Highway 40, and Fairmont Banff Springs is 25 minutes west, which makes three days, three courses straightforward from one Canmore hotel. Off the course, the Grassi Lakes trail and the Canmore Nordic Centre, built for the 1988 Winter Olympics, are close to town.
Find your season.
Early season runs from opening to 4 June, mid season from 5 June to 9 July, prime from 10 July to 31 August and late prime from 1 to 27 September, with fees moving at each step. From 28 September to closing the course switches to a later prime window. After the golf season the restaurant keeps winter hours, Tuesday to Saturday from 11am.
Yes. Stewart Creek has members, but its tee sheet is open to the public online through Quick18 and by phone on 1-877-993-4653. Groups of 13 or more book by email. No handicap certificate is mentioned in the club’s published terms.
How much are green fees at Stewart Creek?
In 2026 rates ran from C$170 on early-season weekdays to C$325 on a July or August Saturday morning, plus 5% GST. Nine holes after 5pm cost C$120. Booking prepaid online at least 72 hours ahead cut the posted rate by 15%.
Is Stewart Creek built on a coal mine?
Yes. The course occupies former coal-mining land in the Three Sisters area, and the creek is named after a miner, Archibald Stewart. Refurbished mine entrances sit beside the 1st and 14th holes, and a mine cart stands near the 10th tee.
How far is Stewart Creek from Banff?
About 25 minutes by the Trans-Canada Highway, according to the club. Downtown Canmore is ten minutes away, and Calgary International Airport about 75 minutes.
