A golf course in the Rockies has been crowned the best in Alberta

A trip to the Alberta Rockies is always a treat, and if you make the drive out to Jasper, you can also golf at the newly titled best golf course in the province.

Score Golf has released its 2022 Best Courses in Canada, and the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge Golf Course landed at #3 this year, remaining stable from its ranking in 2020.

The course opened back in 1925 and underwent a restoration project in 1994 to return the legendary Canadian golf course back to its initial layout, using original 1924 blueprints from Stanley Thompson, Canada’s master golf course architect.
