Golf in British Columbia

A few spectacular suggestions for golfing in British Columbia

Discover the Okanagan… Renowned for its natural beauty, abundant sunshine, crystal-clear lakes and extended golf season, it's truly a golfers' paradise! Situated on the eastern shore of th e Okanagan Lake mid-way between Penticton in the south and Vernon in the North, Kelowna is the largest city in the Okanagan Valley. With fine dining, unique shops and a vibrant cultural like - yet orchards and vineyards within 10 minutes of the downtown core, Kelowna is the perfect setting for any golfer.

GolfBC is pleased to offer two wonderful facilities centrally located in the beautiful Okanagan Valley. The Okanagan Golf Club, consisting of The Bear and The Quail courses, and Gallagher's Canyon are both nestled amongst spectacular ponderosa pine forests and emerald greens. If time is limited and you want to be able to enjoy all the highlights of the breathtaking city of Kelowna, perhaps our 9-hole mid-length Pinnacle Course would be more fitting.

Furry Creek is not a course that one merely plays - it is an enriching adventure to be savoured. Considered one of the most beautifully landscaped playgrounds in the province, Furry Creek delivers an unforgettable experience with its breathtaking beauty, dramatic play and first-class facilities. Be sure to visit the Sea to Sky Grill - serving the best in West Coast cuisine.

As BC's most scenic golf course, Furry Creek perfectly captures the most spectacular qualities of this part of the country. This par 72, 18-hole golf course designed by Robert Muir Graves and built in 1993 offers panoramic ocean views and encounters with abundant wildlife.

Snowcapped peaks. A brilliant emerald-coloured lake. Majestic fir trees. Fresh, invigorating mountain air. This is the setting that inspired the great Jack Nicklaus to create a course as unique as himself.

This par 71, 18-hole course winds along a gentle valley floor offering you a spectacular setting as your golfing skills are tested to the fullest. Just minutes from cobblestone walkways and street side cafes of the resort town of Whistler, Nicklaus North stands out as one of the great courses in North America. It's no wonder this is only one of a few rare golf courses in the world bearing Jack Nicklaus' name.
