With its laid-back atmosphere, terrific layout and picturesque
setting, the Golden Golf & Country Club is a must-play in the Kootenay
Rockies. The course was crafted by a duo of renowned architects - Bill Newis
(front nine) and Les Furber (back nine) - but never strays far from its roots.
"At least one hundred local residents had their hand in the
construction of this course," says Head Professional Rick Crowson. "They
literally dug these fairways with their hands, removing rocks for months." Now,
with a seamless 6,818-yard championship course, an outstanding driving range and the
convenient RV Park, the locals can relax, grab their sticks and enjoy their handiwork.
It's tough to top the rugged beauty of Golden's par-four 11th.
This scenic medium-length hole is framed by a raging creek and requires a deft approach to
a well-guarded green that is tough to hold. The view on eleven is also phenomenal !
Go for the 'gold' on your next visit to the Kootenay Rockies.
