The drive

Minutes and hours by car

Drivers reach the casino in five minutes from Cranbrook. Canadian Rockies International Airport (YXC) sits an eight-minute drive away, and Kimberley is 25 minutes off. Calgary lies under four hours away by road. Parking at St. Eugene costs nothing.

The Scorecard desk measures each town from Casino of the Rockies as a direct line between map coordinates. Fernie sits 51 km off, Creston 77 km and Nelson 111 km. Over the Alberta border, Calgary comes in at 202 km and Lethbridge at 211 km. Any road out of Cranbrook covers more ground than these direct lines, so a kilometre figure is not a driving time. The Scorecard offers no driving time for Fernie.

Lines are straight and roads are longer. Drive times appear only where the casino publishes them.

The clock

Mountain time on the course

Cranbrook stays on Mountain time year-round, matching the clock in Alberta, while most of British Columbia is an hour behind. Golfers travelling from elsewhere in the province should account for that hour before a tee time, the booked start of a round. The casino and restaurants run on this same local clock, and every hour listed in this guide is local time.
