Banff Springs Golf Club

Banff Springs Golf Club – A True Canadian Classic in the Heart of the Rockies
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains, Banff Springs Golf Club is one of the most iconic and visually arresting courses in the world. Originally laid out by Stanley Thompson in the 1920s, this Canadian masterpiece winds along the Bow River beneath jagged peaks, dense pine forests, and the fairytale towers of the historic Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel.
The signature par-3 4th hole—aptly named “Devil’s Cauldron”—is world-famous for its dramatic drop shot over a glacial lake, with Mount Rundle towering behind. The entire course feels like a national park with flagsticks, seamlessly blending raw wilderness with classic golf strategy. With towering views and impeccable conditioning, Banff Springs isn’t just a bucket-list course—it’s a spiritual experience.
Behind the Lens: My Time at Banff Springs
Photographing Banff Springs felt like trying to bottle magic. The air was crisp and smelled like pine, and every time I turned around, it seemed another mountain peak had photobombed the frame. The light in Banff has a cool, blue clarity that brings out the greens and water in a way few places can. I remember being especially drawn to the texture—the stone bridges, the rippling river, the cloud-wrapped peaks. Banff isn’t just a golf course—it’s a reminder of how awe-inspiring nature can be when left to shine.
