Tee Off the Season: 2026 Golf Course Opening Dates in Invermere & the Columbia Valley

Here’s when courses across Invermere, Fairmont, Radium, and beyond are opening for the 2026 season—so you can start planning your first round (and maybe your whole golf getaway around it).

Find Your Golf Getaway

Now that you know when your favourite courses open, the next step is choosing where to stay.

Whether you’re planning a quick golf weekend, a full group trip, or something a little more relaxed, where you stay can shape the entire experience.

Here’s how to find the right fit:

For the Weekend Golf Trip

Invermere & Windermere

If you’re planning to hit a few courses in one trip—like Copper Point, Eagle Ranch, and Windermere Valley—staying central makes everything easier.

Think: less driving, more tee times, and easy access to restaurants and the lake after your round.



👉 Best for: quick getaways, couples, small groups

For the Full Golf Getaway

Fairmont Hot Springs & Radium

If your goal is to fully unplug and play as much golf as possible, this is where you settle in.

With multiple courses nearby (Mountainside, Creekside, Riverside, Radium), you can build out a multi-day itinerary without constantly packing up and moving.



👉 Best for: longer stays, group trips, “golf-all-day” travellers

For the Bucket-List Round

Panorama (Greywolf)

If Greywolf is the reason for your trip, lean into it.

Staying in Panorama means you’re right there—no early morning drive, no rushing. Just coffee, a short walk (or quick drive), and one of the most memorable rounds in the region.



👉 Best for: one standout round + a relaxed mountain stay

For a Balanced Escape (Golf + Everything Else)

Mix of locations

Not everyone wants to golf all day—and that’s the beauty of the Columbia Valley.

Stay somewhere that gives you access to both: a morning round, then an afternoon by the lake, in the hot springs, or exploring the town.

👉 Best for: mixed groups, families, or slower-paced trips



Browse available stays, even rentals with golf course views, and find the one that fits your kind of golf trip—whether that’s a quick weekend or a full week of early tee times and late patio evenings.
