Congratulations, British Columbia – the province was named the 2007 Best Golf Destination in North America by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO), and in 2008 Golf Digest named a BC course the best new course in Canada.
 Golfing in the Kootenay Rockies, St. Eugene Mission Golf Course photo Avid golfers return to the province year after year to take on world-class courses and inhale some of BC’s finest surroundings. In addition to superb greens, prepare for breathtaking ocean and mountain vistas. Expect lush rainforest settings or an oasis in the middle of the desert.
Immerse yourself in Aboriginal culture or gold rush history, soak in natural hot springs and sample award-winning wines at some of the province's best resorts. It’s no wonder that internationally-renowned architects like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Les Furber have left their mark in this golfer’s paradise. Golfing in BC's RegionsThe rolling terrain of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast offers the tranquility of vast open spaces and adventure while steaming natural hot springs tucked on mountain sides with winding rivers are all part of golfing in the Kootenay Rockies. Enjoy late summer night tee-offs, bountiful wildlife and a never-ending rugged landscape of Northern BC or, if desert terrain dotted with award-winning wines, romantic vineyards and world-class, luxurious spas is your preference, the Thompson Okanagan offers more than 50 places to play, including Tobiano, which in 2008 was named best new course in Canada by both Golf Digest and SCOREGolf magazine.
The Vancouver, Coast and Mountains region is all about variety. Golf the Coast Mountain resort of Whistler, along fertile valleys, raging rivers, and magnificent oceanfront. Shop Robson Street and take in Vancouver's cosmopolitan scene. And Vancouver Island’s numerous courses take nature head on. Here, soaring eagles, black-tailed deer and spawning salmon share the green – you may even spot a whale from the shore!
Even better, golf can be indulged year-round in the Vancouver area, on Vancouver Island as well as in parts of the Thompson Okanagan, thanks to a temperate Pacific Northwest climate. No wonder that golfers of the world unite in BC. Traveling around BC? Find more information about Golf in:
