Kananaskis Golf Course Readies for G7 Summit with Possible Trump Tee-Off

Security barriers will seal off the course under tight restrictions ahead of unscheduled leader activities

There's speculation U.S. President Donald Trump, with his known affection for golf, could tee off on the scenic course that sits at the foot of Mount Kidd.
Darren Robinson, general manager of the Kananaskis Country Golf Course, has his hands full preparing the facility for the upcoming G7 Leaders meeting in Kananaskis, Alta., Monday, June 2, 2025.

Overview

  • The Kananaskis Country Golf Club will host G7 leaders from June 15 to 17 and is enclosed within a tightly controlled perimeter closed to public access.
  • The venue last welcomed world leaders in 2002 for the G8 summit when figures such as George Bush and Jean Chrétien played golf and ran on the grounds.
  • Official summit sessions will be held at the nearby Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, positioning the course as one of two primary recreational sites.
  • President Donald Trump, who owns club merchandise gifted by Mark Carney, could tee off informally despite the summit itinerary remaining undisclosed.
  • Any visits to the course are expected to be spontaneous, reflecting the unscripted nature of past world-leader outings.
