May 6th: Silvertip Hole #4

Silvertip Hole #4 -- 433yd Par4 Handicap 6
(The Silvertip website returns an error when viewing the 4th hole overview picture...management was contacted and has yet to remedy the problem ... however, I think the real-life picture we'll give you an idea of how ridiculously challenging it will be to hit the 12-yard wide fairway)



Silvertip:
Mother nature has created a great 433-yard par-four at No. 4. It's a hole played as an ampitheatre with the green as the stage, protected by a lake and transition bunker at the exit. Water is placed menacingly down the right side, so play your shot short of the water and you will be left with a 165 yard shot. Any further is very risky with the water pond on the right.



Canmore Dining and Drinking:
DRAKE PUB & INN


What a perfect place to relieve a mountain-inspired hunger. The Drake Restaurant is a beautiful room with charming woodwork and a stone fireplace. The pub is spacious and friendly and affords visitors an alpine view. The menu for both rooms features pub-style dining with a few surprises, like 'no-raw-fish' sushi, along with the selection of steaks, burgers, sandwiches and the like. There is also a heated outdoor patio and live music every weekend!
