It’s never too early to start planning your family's summer vacation. Kelowna’s abundance of natural beauty and outdoor activities are only a 1-hour flight from Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary or Seattle, a 7-hour drive from Calgary or a mere 4-hour drive from Vancouver.

With several courses now open, and many more opening next week, Kelowna’s reputation for having one of the longest and driest golf seasons in Canada is holding up!

Sure, Kelowna may be known as the fastest growing tech centre in British Columbia, and you can’t miss the vast vineyards and orchards that surround the city or the region’s award-winning wine scene.

Spring is the perfect time to golf Kelowna. The weather is not too cold and not too hot, which is ideal for mid-day golfing.

Not only does the Kelowna boast 2,000 hours of sunshine every year, stunning vistas, and an abundance of outdoor adventure, it also includes 19 well-conditioned golf courses with diverse designs by renowned golf course architects.

New Year’s resolutions often include getting more exercise, spending more time with friends or taking breaks to relax and re-charge. What if we told you that golf was a good way to do all three?

The perfect pairing: Golf and flying high above the waters of Okanagan Lake. Golf at Gallagher's Canyon or at one of the other 19 golf courses in Kelowna. After golfing check out lake activities, including HydroFly Kelowna for some adrenaline pumping good times.

Getting to Kelowna is easy.
