Golf in British Columbia: Complete Guide
British Columbia's golf is defined by its scenery — towering mountains, Pacific fjords, and pristine forests create a backdrop that makes every round spectacular. From Vancouver's venerable Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club to Nicklaus North's lakeside elegance in Whistler, BC delivers world-class golf in a world-class setting.
Overview
British Columbia offers extraordinary golf diversity: century-old parkland clubs in Vancouver, oceanside resort golf in Victoria, dramatic Sea-to-Sky corridor courses between Vancouver and Whistler, and the remote quality of Furry Creek above Howe Sound. The mild Pacific climate extends the Lower Mainland golf season to nine months, making BC one of Canada's most golf-active provinces.
