Kananaskis Country - Mount Lorette Course ReviewKananaskis, Alberta
|
Kananaskis Country Overview: One of two difficult courses located in a windy valley between tall mountains in the Canadian resort playground of Kananaskis, about 1 hour east of Calgary. The course plays around a winding river and adds several more lakes to make water a formidable opponent throughout the course. Most of the holes are pretty, but the standout ones are reviewed below:
Kananaskis Hole 1: A very tough starting hole with two lakes left of the fairway and a creek running down the right side from tee to green. There is not a lot of room for error and the adrenaline will be rushing for the entire hole; what a way to start the round! (not pictured)
Kananaskis Hole 6: A par 3 with a large lake to the right, but with a huge green. The views are great, no matter what direction you look, but the golfer can face some long putts.

Kananaskis Hole 9: A solid finishing par 5 to the front nine, this hole is a long dogleg left with a lake coming into play on the 2nd & approach shots. The approach is uphill and the lake is very close to the green, leaving very little room for error. If you go long, the down hill chip is a nightmare as the green slopes away from the player, right to the lake. If you go short and miss the lake, you may have to fight off Canadian geese.

Kananaskis Hole 14 (left): The hardest ranked hole on the back nine is a medium length par five with a lots of trees and creek running down the right side. It's only really in play for the layup / approach, so the golfer need not get too excited, but this hole will require good shots to avoid the multiple bunkers along the way as well.
