Kimberley - the self-styled 'Bavarian City of the Rockies' - is a former mining town turned alpine resort high in the Purcells of the East Kootenays. Golf here means real elevation, mountain backdrops, and a short but dry summer season, with practice areas attached to the resort and valley courses that anchor the town's golf scene.
