Golf In Paradise
Predator Ridge, Vernon Golf & Country Club, Spallumcheen,
Royal York, Hillview, Birchdale, Salmon Arm and River Ridge; eight courses
throughout the North Okanagan make this an ideal destination for visitors
who never leave home without their clubs. Our many miles of meticulously
groomed green grass are complemented by the Okanagan's famous summer
weather and limitless vistas, creating an irresistible temptation.
 At Armstrong, just 20
minutes north of Vernon on Highway 97A, the Royal York Golf Course
presents a deceivingly difficult nine hole, 3,200 yard course, par 35. The
course is varied, with both gently rolling and strongly contoured ground.
Natural conifers and deciduous Hillview Golf Course is a relaxed, 18 hole,
3,400 yard, par 56 course. Hillview is located just north of Highway 6 at
15th Street, on the east edge of Vernon. A five minute drive from downtown
brings you to an easy walking game at this fully public facility, also
equipped with a pro shop and licensed restaurant. A great way to limber up
and get into the game on a fine afternoon! No tee times required.
Further north on Highway 97 A, approximately 30km north of Vernon,
Birchdale Par 3 Golf offers an easy walking nine hole
game, covering 1,257 yards of mostly level ground. The towering,
red-tinted lava face of the Enderby Cliffs on the east side of the valley
make a spectacular setting for Birchdale.
For quite a different
and challenging golfing experience, visit the 18 hole, upland course of Predator Ridge Golf Resort . This beautiful course may be
reached by travelling 10 km south of Vernon on Commonage Road, or via Hwy.
97S to Bailey Road, then on to Commonage Road. Predator's par 73,
championship course features open, link-style fairways, delineated by
different coloured grasses, as well as the more familiar tree lined
fairways. Predator's reputation as a worthy challenge is well deserved, as
you will discover!
A choice of four tee-off platforms offers
golfers a range of 5,500 to 7,200 yards to play. Numerous water holes and
silica sand bunkers present challenges to even the most avid of golfers.
Great views of the surrounding countryside make Predator Ridge, a pleasure
to walk or drive. Valet service is available at the parking lot and pro
shop. After your game, savour a meal and refreshments while enjoying the
view from the resort's comfortable clubhouse.
Rated as "one of
BC's top 20, and Canada's top 60" golf courses by Golf Canada, the Salmon Arm Golf
Course is set in an idyllic, rolling valley, beautifully treed and
inviting. This public facility offers an 18 hole, par 72 championship
course, or a more relaxed 9-hole executive course. With yardage of 6,738,
there's plenty of course to enjoy! Afterwards, settle into the Ironwood
Grill to reflect on your perfect game.
A public golf course on
lush, subirrigated bottom land awaits golfers at Spallumcheen Golf
& Country Club. Travel 11 km north of Vernon on Highway 97, just
past the Historic O'Keefe Ranch, to find this 18 hole, 6,423 yard, par 71
championship course. The course encompasses 62 bunkers, 10 water holes and
the serene Deep Creek. Spallumcheen also offers a 2,675 yard, par 35
executive course. A well-equipped pro shop with power and pull cart
rentals, two putting greens, and a fully licensed clubhouse complete the
appointment of this facility. Tee times are recommended.
Built in
1903 on Vernon Creek, just minutes from downtown hotels and motels, the Vernon Golf & Country
Club is the area's longest established home for the sport. Graceful
Lambert poplars and weeping willows line 6,400 yards of gently rolling
fairways, that span this 18 hole, par 72 challenge, suited to amateurs and
professionals alike. A dress code is in effect at this semi-private club.
A full range of services, including practice greens, pro shop, power cart
rentals and licensed clubhouse are available.
Vernon's Okanagan
Landing is home to the new Par 3 Lakers Golf Course, with yards of relaxed
play and a restaurant and lounge, the Laker's Grill.
A 45 minute
drive east on Hwy 6 will bring you to River Ridge Golf Course, by the
Shuswap River. River Ridge's 9 hole, 2,650 yard course doubles up for a
friendly par 70 game. They offer a combined pro shop and licensed snack
bar.
Between Vernon and Lumby, on Dure Meadow Road, you'll find
the Coldstream Golf Course, a "scottish style" par 36, 2,420 yard 9 hole
course with a 250 yard driving range.
Lumby also has a small golf
course of sand greens, where play is by donation.
