✈️ Travel Tips for Golf in Canada
- Canadian golf season runs June–September in most regions — shorter but intense.
- Nova Scotia's Cabot courses require booking 12+ months in advance — the demand is extraordinary.
- Mountain courses in Alberta have altitude — ball flies farther than expected.
- Canada's national park courses (Highlands Links, Jasper, Banff) offer world-class design at accessible prices.
- Ontario and Quebec private clubs have strict member-guest policies — plan through your home club.
🏌️ How to Play Your Best in Canada
Mountain golf in Alberta adds 5–10% distance due to altitude — recalibrate your club selection. Nova Scotia links golf demands the same low, running ball flight that Scottish links require. The GOAT Sling's penetrating trajectory works perfectly in both environments.
