(ALBERTA, Canada) – The Canadian Rockies Golf-and-Resort lifestyle consortium (CRG) announces a second trip giveaway with the winner chosen from its e-newsletter list; sign up for free at www.canadianrockiesgolf.ca.
The trip boasts 135 holes of unspoiled mountain golf, accommodations at the world-famous The Fairmont Banff Springs, car rental with unlimited miles and a meet and greet at the Calgary airport. CRG member courses are frequently honored by influential golf, travel and lifestyle publications via prestigious “Best of” or “Top Resorts” awards. Noted for its beauty and natural splendor, the CRG is one of the world’s premier destinations.
Selected from the consortium’s e-newsletter subscriber database on October 30, 2009; there is no purchase required to enter. The email list is proprietary information of the CRG and will not be outsourced or sold. The trip must occur in 2010.
Featuring celebrated courses and world-class resorts with fine dining, internationally acclaimed spas and amenities, the CRG consists of The Fairmont Banff Springs, The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Kananaskis Golf and Country Club, Canmore Golf & Curling, Silvertip Resort and Stewart Creek Golf and Country Club.
“Our destination is the most breathtaking in the world. No compilation of resorts comes close to the spellbinding scenery, awe-inspiring mountain golf and hospitality of the Canadian people,” says K. Gordon Schultz, spokesman for the Canadian Rockies consortium. “It’s something that needs to be seen to be believed and there’s no better way than giving away the vacation of a lifetime.”
The collective brand tagline for these resorts and courses – with a combined 135, adrenaline-inducing golf holes – describes it well: “Canadian Rockies Golf: Historic. Dramatic. Untamed.”
What people are increasingly discovering, however, are the proximity of these properties to one another as well as the combined wealth of resort and lifestyle options accessible by Calgary and Edmonton airports – from international and commercial to regional and private. This allows visitors to conveniently come and go, and to mention obtain desired tee times and other activity reservations all while enjoying majestic mountain-view scenery spliced by glacier-fed tributaries.
