Greywolf Golf Course Hole #10 "Tranquility" 580-yd Par5 Handicap 12
The longest hole here at Greywolf requires a tee shot down the right side toward the fairway bunkers. Keep your second shot to the right setting up an open pitch into the angled plateau green.
The entire back nine is a rolling, tumbling ride featuring holes that ride along the cliffs and creeks which frame the area. Each hole offers an entirely unique visual experience from the previous hole - the only consistency is the backdrops filled with mountain vistas, creaking pines, and eagles soaring high.
Greywolf GC:
Golf Digest's Best New Canadian Course of 1999 (Silvertip was runner up), and the course keeps getting better every year.
Must do Stops:
Lake Louise -- The turquoise water draws its brilliant colour from the “rock flour,” fine particles of glacial sediment which are suspended in the water that reflect blue and green wavelengths of light because they are so small and uniform. Framed by Mount Victoria and Victoria Glacier, the water temperature only gets a few degrees above freezing in summer. The native’s called it “Ho-run-num-nay” or Lake of Little Fishes, long before they took outfitter and explorer Tom Wilson up for a peek in 1882, although he is credited with “discovering” the world-famous location. In 1890 a cabin was built on the shores of the lake, which is 2.4 km (1.5 mi) long, 500 m (1,649 ft.) wide and 90 m (295 ft.) deep and was later named for Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and later the wife of the governor general of Canada. Lake Louise is considered the birthplace of mountaineering in Canada, after the railway imported Swiss mountain guides to prevent its well-heeled guests from falling off the nearby peaks…………………. For first timers, Stermann also suggests hitting the Lake Louise area, just 4 km out of the town of Lake Louise, which, he notes, is a busy place “for a very, very good reason.” One hike to check out there is the Lake Louise Lakeshore trail, which starts in front of Chateau Lake Louise, and is just 4 km total with little to no elevation gain, which makes for a quick 1-hour round trip. The trail is easy to walk for just about anyone, yet offers amazing views of the lake and surrounding peaks, and access to several longer trails.
