Fairmont Hot Springs Resort

Finish eighteen holes with Rocky Mountain views, then soak tired muscles in naturally heated mineral springs that have been bubbling up from the earth for centuries. At Fairmont Hot Springs Resort in British Columbia's stunning Kootenay region, this isn't just possible—it's practically mandatory. The all-encompassing mountain retreat sits where the Columbia River winds through towering peaks, creating one of Western Canada's most compelling combinations of outdoor adventure and natural relaxation. For over 50 years, families and golf enthusiasts have discovered what happens when you pair three distinct golf experiences with legendary hot springs, all set against a backdrop that makes every photo look like a postcard. The resort spans everything from riverside camping to luxury lodge rooms. But the real magic lies in how seamlessly you can transition from morning tee times to afternoon soaks, with the Columbia River and surrounding wilderness setting the pace for everything in between.
