What Silvertip Resort does
Silvertip Resort is a 600-acre master-planned mountain destination in Canmore, Alberta, owned and operated by Stone Creek Resorts, a privately held Canadian hospitality company founded in 1992. The resort integrates a Les Furber-designed par-72 championship golf course (153 slope, 600+ feet of elevation change, Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary-certified since 2008), three dining venues (Rustica fine dining, Stoney's Grill, Silvertip Market) under Executive Chef Kevin Bourdages, an 11,000+ sq ft event and wedding program, a Golf Shop, an HD Golf® indoor simulator lounge, a private Nordic sauna and cold-plunge experience, and seasonal winter activities, plus a master-planned residential real-estate pillar (Mountain Tranquility homesites and the new Cadence Pond 70-unit luxury condominium community, zoned for Tourist Accommodation).
The underlying technology stack is conventional hospitality and commerce tooling rather than a proprietary platform: a WordPress/WooCommerce online store for gift cards and multi-round packs, the CPS Golf tee-time booking and POS engine at silvertip.cps.golf, Tripleseat for private event inquiries, OpenTable for Rustica reservations, and standard analytics/retargeting via Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, and SourceBuster cookies. Distribution is a hybrid direct-to-consumer model — self-serve online bookings and e-commerce for golf and gift cards, phone-based reservations across dining/events, on-site retail, and direct sales with partner builders Rockwood Custom Homes and Distinctive Homes for real estate — supplemented by Tripleseat-powered event software, OpenTable marketplace visibility, and earned media in Forbes, National Geographic, ScoreGolf, and regional Canadian outlets.
Silvertip makes money across usage-based (green fees $95–$300/round by season and resident tier, simulator rentals $40–$60/hour, sauna hourly per group), transactional (F&B across three venues, golf shop apparel and equipment from Tilley, Greyson, KJUS, PING, Titleist, Galvin Green, FootJoy; gift cards $50–$500+), professional-services (weddings, corporate golf tournaments for 14–144 players, meetings and retreats up to 220 guests), and one-time real-estate sales of homesites, geothermal-heated villas, and Cadence Pond condominiums. Customer segments span individual golfers and diners, Calgary/Bow Valley day-trippers, destination tourists, wedding and corporate event clients (e.g., GATX Rail Canada), and individual high-net-worth real-estate buyers, with no enterprise concentration disclosed.
