93 is way quicker for the record, about 2.5 hours from Calgary provided you don't go the "suggested" 90km/h the whole way.
Golden is almost a three-hour trip from Calgary alone, from there INvermere's another hour so it's not even close.
Eagle Ranch is the nicest golf course in the valley, hands down. Greywolf comes close but Eagle Ranch takes it. Absolute beauty. Haven't played it this year yet so I can't say this for sure but in past years, the greens are always immaculately kept.
Copper Point is overrated IMO, that course just has a somewhat "forced" layout and the greens are impossible to read.
For the record, this weekend I golfed Fairmont Mountainside. Definitely one of the worst-kept courses in the valley but the natural layout and beauty can't be beat. The mountain slopes are ridiculous and make it tough. Plays pretty long too, I think 7,400 yds or something like that.
