The clock
Mountain time on the course
Cranbrook keeps Mountain time all year. That is the same clock as Alberta and one hour ahead of most of British Columbia. A golfer coming from elsewhere in British Columbia should allow for that hour before a tee time, the booked start of a round. Casino and restaurant hours follow the same local clock. All hours in this guide are local time.
