Top Tips for Playing at CNC

The Canmore Nordic Centre’s 18-hole disc golf course is known for its beautiful setting and challenging nature. There are a few holes that are sure to challenge even the most experienced disc golfer. The course is free to use and open all year round (holes #5 to #14 are closed in winter) so just turn up and play!

Please note that there are certain times that the disc golf course is closed to the public for a special event, like the annual Big Bear Classic in early June. Please contact the Canmore Nordic Centre for information: (403) 678-2400.

• Be able to see where you plan for the disc to land. If there is a blind corner, scout it out.
• Let faster groups play through (same goes for smaller groups – if you are a group of four or more, and a one- or two-person team is on your tail, let them play through.
• Wear firm shoes (the Nordic Centre course is rugged).
• Allow two to 2.5 hours to play the 18-hole course (a shorter option includes playing holes 1-4 and 15-18).
• Carry water. Wear bear spray!
• Three Sisters course is a nice option for new players (rent from Trail Sports, drive to Three Sisters).
