In the embrace of the Canadian Rockies, Canmore isn’t just another spot on the map—it’s where sport intertwines with nature’s grandeur. Picture it: Each swing of your club is matched with a panoramic display of sky-kissing peaks and verdant valleys. And at the heart of it all? The Silvertip Golf Course.

Silvertip Golf Course: A Skyward Sonata in the Rockies

Imagine teeing off where the horizon is stitched with the rugged tapestry of the Rockies. The Silvertip Golf Course, often likened to playing amidst celestial heights, is such a place. Masterfully sculpted by Les Furber, this par-72 marvel unfurls across an elevation change of 600 feet, ensuring your golfing skills are as much on display as the landscape.

With every fairway you traverse, the course unveils over 600 acres of nature’s finest artistry: crystalline ponds reflecting azure skies, woods standing in hushed reverence, and expanses of green that could rival any painter’s palette.

Beyond the game, Silvertip tempts visitors with its culinary craft. Rustica Steakhouse and Trader’s Lounge beckon with a promise of gourmet experiences, perfectly complementing a day spent amidst nature’s magnificence.

Amazing venue, stress free planning

We booked A Bear and Bison Inn without having been there before and we weren’t able to visit ahead of time. Everything went so smoothly and we couldn’t have hoped for a better day! Communication was easy and they were very responsive. The list of recommended vendors they provided was super helpful and we ended up using photographers, bakery, and hair and make up artist they recommended and were very happy with all of the services. We loved that we could rent the entire venue for our friends and family, it made the weekend so special. From arrival to check out the service was exceptional. We appreciated all of the staff so much- they were friendly, helpful, checked in regularly and made sure that everything was on track. The food was amazing and our guests kept saying it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. I highly recommend A Bear and Bison, we had an excellent experience!
