A 48-hour plan
Two days at St. Eugene
One afternoon for the building, one morning for its history, one day for the valley.
Here is a plan for two nights that leaves time for the building, the valley and a little of the town, built around the hours the resort publishes. It assumes a weekday arrival in the golf season. Notes for winter and weekends are at the end.
Day one: arrive and look around
- Afternoon. Check in from 4 pm. Take ten minutes with the historic photographs that line the red brick walls; the resort says its settings are meant to give guests a chance to reflect.
- Before dinner. Walk the courtyard toward Fisher Peak. If it is a Thursday, Friday or Saturday, Numa's lounge opens at 4 pm.
- Dinner. Numa from 5 pm on those three nights. On other nights, Kiʔsuʔk k̓ikiⱡ in the casino serves dinner, and its kitchen stays open until at least 10 pm.
- Late. The outdoor pool and hot tubs are open until 10 pm. Quiet time across the resort starts at 11 pm.
Day two: the history, then the valley
- Breakfast. Numa, from 7 to 11 am every day.
- Morning. The two-hour tour: the Interpretive Centre (30 minutes), a guided walk through the Mission Building (60 minutes) and the film Red Brick School (35 minutes), $25 per person. The Centre is open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 4:30 pm. Book in advance on 1.250.417.4001. It is not a light morning, and the afternoon is planned with that in mind.
- Afternoon. A round on the course, starting with the warm-up bucket at the range. If you do not golf, walk up Eager Hill, 1.4 km and about 20 minutes, for the view of Fisher Peak and the Steeples.
- Evening. An early table at Numa while there is still light on the peak. If you want to visit the casino, set a limit before you go; the GameSense desk is at the back by the restaurant railing.
Day three: out to Kimberley
- Check out by 11 am. Kimberley is about 25 minutes away by car. Ride the Underground Mining Railway there, or cycle part of the NorthStar Rails to Trails path, which runs 26 km between the two towns.
- On the way back toward the highway, the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel in Cranbrook and Fort Steele's heritage town are the resort's other suggestions for an afternoon.
In winter, or at the weekend
From mid-October the course is closed. The 2027 season runs from April 16 to October 11. Swap the round for the golf simulator in the clubhouse or a longer swim in the heated outdoor pool. The 19th Hole is closed for the 2026 season, so lunch means the casino restaurant or a drive into town. On a weekend, move the Interpretive Centre tour to Friday, because the Centre is closed on Saturday and Sunday.
