Cranbrook sits in the Rocky Mountain Trench, ringed by the Purcells to the west and the Rockies to the east, with one of the driest, sunniest climates in BC. That rain shadow stretches the Kootenay golf season longer than the surrounding peaks suggest. Practice options run from a tidy executive layout to full course-attached ranges and a destination resort, most within a short drive of downtown.
