Banff & Jasper
Silvertip Resort
Mountain / elevation resort
Silvertip is mountain golf turned up. Some groups will love the theater. Some will ask if every shot needed that much altitude. Both reactions are fair.

Wow is all I can say. My first golf course in Banff and the views were breathtaking.
Yes there's lots of blind shots. It's more geared towards target golf. Probably only need driver for 2-3 holes. But the views just make the round very enjoyable. Course is very well maintained t

Silver tip came highly recommended to me as a must play golf experience. It was by far my favorite course of the three courses that we played. The course was in immaculate condition, the views are amazing and the restaurant is great as well. 10/10 recommend

Very nice golf course, the view is spectacular and the condition of the course was awesome (except the badly beaten up tee box). Green ran fast and true. Definitely worth playing
