British Columbia has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the best places in North America to go golfing.
In 2007, the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO) named BC the Best Golf Destination in North America; in 2008, a British Columbia golf course was chosen by Golf Digest as the best new course in Canada. In 2010, SCOREGolf selected its top five golf new courses in the country... three are in BC!
The province's popularity is due in large part to world-class courses designed by leading-edge golf architects. Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Les Furber are among the many who have worked their magic here.
The other huge bonus to golfing in BC is the spectacular natural scenery. Many golf courses have mountain and ocean vistas, and settings range from coastal rainforests to an oasis in the middle of the desert.
