A world-class course where rivers, forests and mountains meet
Designed by the legendary Les Furber, the championship golf course at St. Eugene Resort is recognised as one of the best in Western Canada. Tucked along the banks of the St. Mary River, each hole offers a unique and stunning perspective of the surrounding landscape. Tee off alongside the clear waters of the river, pick your way through lodgepole pine woodlands, then finish your approach before a backdrop of glorious Mount Fisher. There are few golf courses in Canada that offer such beauty, excitement and playability. The adjoining hotel completes a truly memorable golf retreat.

What is the unique cultural significance of St. Eugene Golf Resort?
St. Eugene Golf Resort stands as one of the most remarkable stories in Canadian tourism. The resort is built around the former St. Eugene Mission residential school, which operated from 1912 to 1970. Under the visionary leadership of the Ktunaxa Nation, with five Indigenous bands collectively owning the property, it was transformed into a world-class resort and became a powerful symbol of cultural reclamation and reconciliation. Each of the 18 golf holes is named in the Ktunaxa language, with translation and phonetic spelling on every tee sign, honouring a language and culture that the school once tried to suppress.
Was St. Eugene Golf Course recognized by Golf Digest when it opened?
Yes, when the Les Furber-designed championship course at St. Eugene opened in 2000, Golf Digest rated it one of the top three new golf courses in Canada. The course celebrated its 25th anniversary in May 2025, marking a quarter-century of award-winning golf alongside an equally remarkable story of Indigenous economic development and cultural revival.
