This is
definitely one of the most beautiful courses I have ever played. The
physical setting is striking, with high mountains visible in all
directions. Wildlife included a large fox running across the second
fairway, and a wide variety of fowl. Cart paths often go through wooded
areas for additional aesthetic charm. The course is challenging, without
being daunting for a mid- to high-handicapper. The scorecards suggest
which tees are appropriate for different ranges of handicaps, and our
foursome found those recommendations quite accurate. Water comes into
play on several holes, either lying alongside fairways, or crossing
between tee boxes and the greens on some par-3's. The course was well
groomed, greens in good condition, and rough long enough to pose a
challenge without making errant shots impossible to recover from. The
staff were extremely friendly and helpful. While I am sensitive to
Canadian feelings on the matter, I also cannot fail to mention that the
current exchange rate makes play in Canada a great bargain as well. All
in all, playing at Fernie was an extremely pleasant experience.
