Head for the Hills! Golf BC's Kootenay Rockies

Maybe it's the rarefied mountain air, the views, dramatic elevation changes, spectacular scenery, wildlife, or an away-from-it-all atmosphere - whatever it is, playing golf in the Kootenay Rockies is a must for any golfer.

Golf in the Heart of BC: the Okanagan Valley

British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley – arguably BC’s best known summer destination - is home to some of Canada's best wineries, fruit orchards as far as the eye can see, desert hills and turquoise lakes making for spectacular vistas - and 19 epic golf courses.

The region also has some of the country's best golfing season weather to take advantage of said golf courses. Averaging over 2,000 hours of sun every year, Kelowna and surrounds offer one of the longest, driest golf seasons in Canada.
