At the start of Mission Hill Golf Course\u2019s third season under the ownership of Chris and Kimberly Carrier, the remarkable transformation of the golf course facility continues apace.<\/p>\n
Mission Hills \u2014 3320 Theatre Road in Cranbrook \u2014 opened it\u2019s newly completed mini-golf course this weekend past \u2014 The Fox\u2019s Den. Red fox sculptures skulk and frolic around the course\u2019s 18 holes, which wind through Ponderosa pines and up, through and around the mountain with a sumptuous waterfall feature. A vintage 1930 Model AA Ford truck, parked halfway along the course, takes pride of place.<\/p>\n
A grand opening is set for Sunday, June 28.<\/p>\n
The Fox\u2019s Den sits adjacent to Mission Hills\u2019 club house and its 18-hole par 3 course, enhancing the \u201csmaller golf\u201d amenities.<\/p>\n
\u201cMostly we were looking at it from the property perspective,\u201d Chris said, of the decision to create the mini-golf course.<\/p>\n
\u201cPar 3 Golf is really exciting, but there aren\u2019t quite as many playing Par 3 Golf as the big courses. So we thought we\u2019d try to be the best of all the \u2018little golfs.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The 18-hole mini-golf comes with the 48-site, 30-amp campground, which also opened up Friday, June 27.<\/p>\n
\u201cCampers love to mini-golf, and they need something to do,\u201d Chris said. Perfect \u2014 a campground with it\u2019s own mini-golf course.<\/p>\n
The Fox\u2019s Den is built in a West Coast style. Kimberly and Chris worked with Scott McCarty, of the Golf Park Company out of Surrey, to design the course. The centrepiece mountain and waterfall feature was designed and built by Westrim Construction out of Creston.<\/p>\n
The fox sculptures were made by a Fernie artist, adding to the East Kootenay vibe.<\/p>\n
Fox\u2019s Den will also hosting \u201cDate Night\u201d golf every week. And ice cream is available to those hard-recreating mini-golfers.<\/p>\n
The Fox\u2019s Den and the new campground are part of the enhancements to Mission Hills Golf Course that includes Birdie\u2019s Kitchen and Bar.<\/p>\n
