Each winter, the Southwest is flooded with Snowbirds from Northern territories looking for a warm weather (and warm weather activities, like golf). Likewise, in the scorching summer months, flocks of Arizonans fly north in search of cool temps (many of whom with desires to tee up). As summer approaches, the Canadian Rockies Golf Consortium has established several promotions to entice desert dwellers northward.
The aptly named “Pins and Fins” package includes accommodations at Falcon Crest Lodge for five days and four nights in the mountain town of Canmore. The value of the package becomes evident in the variety of activities it includes—fishing on the Bow River (a freestone Mountain river) and two rounds of golf on some pretty stellar courses (one at the historic Banff Springs, recently named "Top 3 Best Canada Golf" by GOLF Magazine and "Best 25 International Golf Hotels" by Golf Digest -- and either Stephen Ames's home course of Silvertip or the breathtaking and challenging Stewart Creek). “Pins and Fins” starts at $1,084 CDN per golfer and is available from June 1st to September 30th. The ideal time to escape the Valley’s hottest time of the year.
