Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course. Breathtaking views are the norm at this championship course whose challenging 27 holes wind along the Bow River beneath snowcapped mountain peaks. Stanley Thompson, a major Canadian course architect of his day, designed the original 18-hole course, which opened in 1928. The 9-hole Tunnel Course, designed by Cornish and Robinson (the former a Thompson protégé), opened in the late 1980s.
