(#16 ... Carved into the Rocky forest)

Stewart Creek:
Stewart Creek lies across the Bow valley from Silvertip in the Three Sisters development. It is shorter than Silvertip, but still measures over 7,000 yards from the tips. The fairways are relatively wide, but positioning of tee shots is important, and the course is made more interesting by hanging greens, greenside exposed rock, and historic mine shafts.

Mountain Lion Safety Tips:
Remember the picture of the mountain lion that ate the elk ... that was on Silvertip's 2nd fairway (we'll get into that fantastic course starting Sunday!), but in case we're there and happen to run into one of these little guys, you might like to know...

Most mountain lions do not want a confrontation, so always give them space to move away from you. Do not run and stay calm (at least outwardly). Stay still or back away quietly and slowly, always facing the lion. Don’t stand upright, but do all you can to appear bigger. (Opening your jacket and holding the sides out may make you look bigger.) Pick up any small kids and hold them. If a lion is aggressive, wave your arms, yell and toss objects at it. The goal: give the message that you’re not prey and may be dangerous. Fight back if attacked.

Bonus Trivia: What's the difference between a mountain lion and a cougar you ask?

A mountain lion is similar to a cougar, in that they both refer to an older woman seeking younger men. The only difference between the terms mountain lion and cougar are that cougars are usually somewhat attractive, and mountain lions are usually quite ugly. The mountain lion's natural habitat is bar or club. (I can't make that up)
