Greywolf Golf Course Hole #8 "Hideawar" 446-yd Par4 Handicap 9
This long and demanding par 4 requires a solid tee shot that should favour the left side leaving a mid to long iron approach. The slope flanking the left of the green can be used to feed your ball into the centre.
Greywolf GC:
When it comes to scenery, the rest of the valley gets a 9, Greywolf gets a 10. You are higher and right in the mountains. The views from the elevated tees are outstanding. You will play golf at over 4,000 ft surrounded by the Purcell Mountains. The mountain lakes and creeks add to the visual display!
Things to See:
Grassi Lakes -- This short, easy hike, with one moderate section has beautiful views of the Canmore townsite and Spray Reservoirs, plus a gorgeous waterfall. The trail leads to two popular emerald-green pools with interpretive signs. Take the difficult trail; the only way it is difficult is in terms of footing, and has one steep section with stone steps. The easy trail is a boring access road. Grassi Lakes was named after Lawrence Grassi, a well-respected mountaineer and guide in the Banff Area. The stone steps you will use on the trail plus the the quaint wooden branch bench was built by him. Small and stout, he had fantastic strength, and was known for carrying injured hikers on his back.
Takakkaw Falls -- We used to go for hikes to Takakkaw Falls, the tallest waterfall in the Canadian Rockies. The base of the falls is unbelievable. The roar and the wind from the water falls is unreal. You could hear and feel big bangs, as pieces of the glacier ice would crash over the falls. This was all in July of 2003. I have told everyone I know about this place . In my books it was #1!
