Here’s a Jasper Lodge menu we haven’t seen before. It shows a golfer taking a second or third shot to the green. Jasper’s golf course was designed by Stanley Thompson, who designed a total of 178 golf courses, mostly in Canada but also the U.S. and three other countries. His most notable courses were probably those in Canadian national parks.

Jasper’s sprawling golf course is rated one of the top five — some say top three — in Canada, partly because each fairway gives a different view of the mountains and/or Lac Beauvert. Fairmont has recently restored Jasper’s golf course to its initial layout as designed by Thompson. Based on that layout, the fairway in the menu’s photo is for the 18th hole, which is a par 4.
The dinner menu itself offers three appetizers, three soups, six entrées, two vegetables, two kinds of potatoes, one salad, five desserts, and coffee, tea, or milk. The menu is dated July 28, 1948.
