Mt.Kidd Hole #16

Mt. Kidd @ Kananaskis Country Golf Course Hole #16 207yd Par3 Handicap 16
As with all of the Par 3's on this course, the wind can have a significant impact on your tee shot. The large, well-protected green slopes from back to front, and right to left, leaving players wanting to land short of the pin where possible.

Kananaskis Country GC:
It's the toughest course in the area to get on at, but well worth it. The great rates ensure the course will always be packed. Lesson learned; make your tee time 6 months in advance...check!

I won't mind waiting behind two groups on the 16th tee....pictured above.


Activities Near Canmore:
Quarry Lake --- Just off Spray lakes road on the west side of town there is a small lake in an old Quarry, it comes complete with a small sandy beach and picnic tables. The mountain in the distance is The Prow. The Quarry lies close to Ha Ling Peak, under Mt Lawrence Grassi, two of the many mountains surrounding Canmore. It is an ideal place to take the family, to enjoy the water or the beach or wander across the grassed area. Just 5 minutes form the Town centre.

Quarry Lake at Sunrise......ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Drink it in, it always goes down smooth.

  1. Have I already done an extra on Ha Ling/Chinamen's Peak? About scrambling up it?

    I feel like I have....kinda tough to memorize all 85 blogs to this point. I havent had a chance to enjoy Kananaskis flyovers, but thankfully the laptop will be with during the trip!
