Experience Waterton

There are several waterfalls to discover

Cameron Falls is located at the west edge of town. It is an attraction worth photographing. It regularly draws a crowd because of the crystal-clear mountain water cascading down over the 1.5 billion-year-old Pre-Cambrian rock.

Those who stand admiring the falls will often feel the gentle mist of water dusting their skin as the water roars loudly below. There are several view points along and above the waterfall to capture spectacular images and admire this work of nature.

Take a hike, boat, or bike ride, to discover the many other waterfalls throughout Waterton.

It is the 100th anniversary of the golf course, Lakeland is now undertaking ongoing course improvements, upgrading irrigation system, clubhouse renovations, including electric power carts.

Situated on Hwy 5, just after the Red Rock Parkway, Waterton Lakes Golf Course first opened with 9 holes in 1922, making it one of Canada’s oldest. To accommodate demand, a second nine was added, and on Canada Day, 1935, Waterton Lakes expanded to 18 holes. Following input from Canada’s most famous Golf Course Architect, Stanley Thompson.

Waterton Lakes GC is a place where wildlife - deer, moose, elk, and the occasional cougar and bear roam. More than 1,400 forms of flora, many species not found anywhere else, also call this place “where the mountains meet the prairies” home. Surrounded by impressive mountain scenery, the majestic views of the iconic Prince of Wales Hotel and the sparkling water of Upper Waterton Lake, golfing here will take your breath away.

Today, the golf course remains an important attraction within Waterton Lakes National Park, and is a strong community asset. Lakeland Golf Management is planning to ensure that the course is not just preserved, but enhanced, for the future generations to enjoy, increasing the connection with the surrounding natural landscape and helping educate golfers on the importance of protecting - and respecting - the rare flora and fauna which call the golf course home.

This public course is open seven days a week, from early May until October and offers a full range of amenities including club and cart rentals, a pro shop, a practice green and a licensed clubhouse. With such unforgettable surroundings golf just seems the natural thing to do around here.
