Whether you enjoy big drives or open fairways, the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast has a course to challenge you. All three of the region’s 18-hole courses are easily accessible from Highway 97.
Courses for All Levels Play a round in Williams Lake on the rolling terrain at the Williams Lake Golf & Tennis Club. Enjoy the picturesque scenery in Quesnel at the Quesnel Golf Club. Or admire the peaceful setting at 108 Resort near 100 Mile House; their golf course overlooks two sparkling lakes and wide open vistas.
This beautifully maintained 18 hole, par 71 course (69.9 rating), is suitable for all levels of play. Surrounded by the hills of the Chilcotin Country, scenic views are plentiful while playing over the 6272 yards of rolling terrain. After your round, hit the 19th hole, the Fox’s Den, where you can sit and enjoy a stunning view of Williams Lake while enjoying a great meal. Multi-day packages with accommodation at the club are available.
Built in 1956, this 6404-yard course is surrounded by beautiful vistas and a carefully laid out variety of trees emphasizing the fairways. Golfers can enjoy big drives and challenging approach shots to smaller greens. Narrow and guarded by large trees, a meandering creek and wooded hillsides, errant shots are simply swallowed. Tasty home-made food and drinks are served at the snack bar and lounge. Only 4 ¼ hours northeast of Vancouver, or 3 ½ hours south of Prince George, is the 108 Resort Golf Course. Graced by two lakes, and winding through lush evergreen trees, the 18 PGA approved championship holes (par 72, rating of 71) are enjoyable for the novice, but can also prove challenging to the expert with 6806 yards of undulating fairways and fast putting greens. After a game, relax in the Clubhouse Restaurant and take in the spectacular views. Golf and Ranchlands After your time on the golf course, spend some time in the saddle. Explore ranchlands and meadows at one of the many guest ranches in the region.
A few things to remember about your golf trip or excursion: The golf season runs approximately April to October.
Tee times should be booked in advance of arrival, especially during July and August. Many courses have a dress code in effect, so check with the course or resort so you know what to bring with you.
