There is a historical tie in too! Golf has been a cherished tradition in the Crowsnest Pass for over a century, with its roots traced back to a golf and tennis tournament mentioned in the Blairmore Enterprise in August 1916. Between 1916 and the late 1920s, golf flourished across five sites in the region, including Bellevue (Passburg), Blairmore, Coleman, Hillcrest Mines, and Lundbreck. Remarkably, by May 1920, Alberta boasted 14 golf courses, four of which were nestled in the Crowsnest Pass. Local newspapers frequently chronicled the spirited matches and tournaments, showcasing the vibrant golfing culture that connected these communities.
