Golf Cranbrook and Kimberley
Between the Rocky Mountains and the Purcell mountain range in the East Kootenay towns of Cranbrook and Kimberley, there are many golf courses and golf resorts for all skill levels. Some are venerable courses where tee times are a must, others will let you walk on pretty much any time of day. There are championship-level golf resorts where your every need is catered to located just a few miles from more casual golf courses where the green fees are remarkably reasonable. Golf Kootenay-style is always amazing because of the stunning mountain views that form a backdrop to the swoosh of a white ball through clear, crisp mountain air.
