How we travel
You drive a rental car yourself; sharing a car can be arranged. On the group trip we follow a shared programme with me as the organiser. Guidance does not mean there is a driver. If you travel independently, you join the shared golf rounds and plan the rest of your time yourself.
Beyond the golf course
Every day does not have to revolve around golf. There is room for hiking, mountain biking or an outing. Rafting is another possibility. Activities and difficulty will depend on the group and the season. Those playing less golf can make their own plans.
Golf along the way
Eight provisionally planned golf courses, one round per course: Crowsnest Pass Golf Club, Fernie Golf Club, St. Eugene Golf Course (Mission), Trickle Creek, Bootleg Gap, Greywolf, Golden and Silvertip. The golf programme is subject to change; tee times have not yet been confirmed.
