What a stunningly beautiful area. The mountains are spectacular. This family run golf and camping resort pays attention to the loveliest details. We felt so welcome and during the pandemic such care was taken to make certain everyone was safe and healthy.

Creekside Golf Course

Creekside Golf Course is now closed for the season. The standard hole size in golf is just over four inches, at our Creekside course, the holes are nearly double that circumference. Just think of the hole-in-one opportunities! The accessibility of this course attracts a whole spectrum of players. Designed by expert golf architect Bill Newis, Creekside Golf Course opened in 2001 and has since been attracting beginners, families as well as seasoned golfers who wish to improve upon their game. Creekside’s longest hole is 145 yards (roughly a sixth of the length of the average course), providing beginners with a relaxed experience and giving a confidence boost for the skilled golfer.

I have played this course several times since it was built a few years ago and have always had a lot of fun. Though short it can be quite challenging. The larger diameter holes don’t seem to help the putting as much as I thought they would. The course was in really nice shape and though it can be quite busy at times with families, if you go early or late in the day you can normally play it in a little over an hour.

If you haven't golfed this course, make sure to put it on your list. The greens are in great shape and the fairways are green and challenging. My wife and I stopped here for the first time and found the staff and course worth coming back to enjoy.. The views are stunning and the course is designed for all levels of players.

We are on a golf holiday from Vancouver and have recently played several golf courses in the area . This one exceeded expectations in every way. We were greeted in the parking lot by a friendly employee (wearing a mask) who welcomed us and explained the changes (a couple of examples...they don’t touch your clubs and no rakes in traps) due to COVID 19. Thank you on both counts! Staff in the pro shop and restaurant all wore masks, tables were set up for social distancing and the bathrooms were spotless. All of the ( at least a dozen) employees we encountered were happy, helpful and efficient and contributed to our great experience there. All was not perfect. Sometimes problems occur. It’s not the unforeseen problems but often the resolution that determines ones satisfaction . Our cart had some issues. Director Peter Smith was most apologetic and resolved the problem in a way that was very satisfactory to us. Thank you Peter. The course is in spectacular shape. The fairways and greens are immaculate. The course is a very interesting one. There is lots of variety and spectacular views. There is also a short course here so beginning golfers will feel successful. We finished the day with a fabulous meal on the deck overlooking the 18th hole. Kudos to the chef for an interesting menu and fabulous food. How good was our experience? So good, we played the course again the next day! Check out their 20 th Anniversary specials!

The main feature of this 18-hole golf course is variety: links-style holes, elevation changes, lush water-filled holes and tight tree-lined holes all combine for challenging play.

Bootleg Gap Golf

Bootleg Gap Golf, located in Kimberley British Columbia, is truly a complete golf facility. With 27 outstanding holes, and a stunning location along the St. Mary River. The Championship course at Bootleg Gap is highlighted with the 12th, a dramatic par-3 that swoops down into the hoodoo-lined hillside and is one of the most scenic par-3s in the region. For variety try the Recreational 9; it's a hybrid and fun for every level of player.

Greywolf Golf Course

So what’s the best golf course you’ve ever played? For many people, after they complete the epic journey at Greywolf, they’ve got a brand new favourite. Located in a spectacular alpine setting at Panorama Mountain Village, Greywolf is a course that just wins people over, time and time again. Recognized by Golf Digest as one of the Top-100 Courses in the World Outside of the United States, Greywolf is about as impressive as mountain golf gets.Designed by talented Canadian architect Doug Carrick, who has built many of Canada’s best courses in the past decade, Greywolf features several holes that will be seared in your memory bank for a long time. The dynamite collection of par-3s, capped by the diabolical Cliffhanger hole, is, unquestionably, one of the best in the world. With beautifully sculpted bentgrass fairways and hair-raising elevation changes, your round at Greywolf is going to be one for the ages.

Shadow Mountain

Reviewed By CK_shpk - Sherwood Park, Canada

A great track in the Kootenays, but bring your A-game! The course will reward patience and punish if you try to overpower it ... because that's not happening!! It was in fantastic shape in early July 2019, and has wonderful vistas, quick greens, and LOTS of bunkers (which could use more sand greenside btw). Staff is extremely personable, welcoming, and inviting! Went out of their way to say thank you! Very accommodating for our group of 16. Thanks for a great day!!
