Kelowna is a great place to practice hitting that golf ball whether you need to work on your putting, pitching or driving skills, offering several driving ranges and putting greens for golf fans. Plus, with an average of only 37mm of rain per month during the summer season, you don’t have to worry about having to hit a golf ball under an umbrella as Kelowna is known for its fabulous weather.
