Kelowna boasts one of the longest, driest golf seasons in Canada. Here, 19 courses offer the amenities you’d expect of a world-class golf destination—lots of rolling fairways and challenging shots. Situated amongst aromatic apple orchards and along rocky bluffs with sweeping views of Okanagan Lake, keeping your eye on the ball is much more challenging.

“As one of Canada’s premier golf destinations, Kelowna offers golfers so much choice. With the flexibility to pick a different course, different brewery, and different patio for dinner every day, it’s no wonder that groups love coming to Kelowna,” says Bruce Vermee, PGA Head Golf Pro at The Harvest Golf Club, a resort-style course offering 18-holes through their picturesque working orchard.

A short drive from the hustle and bustle of downtown Kelowna, the stunning Gallagher’s Canyon Golf Course is an oasis in the foothills above town. The course features the 18-hole championship Canyon Course for those looking for a challenge and the charming 9-hole Pinnacle Course for those who prefer a more approachable round of golf. The Harvest Golf Club and Gallagher’s Canyon courses are complemented by practice facilities, specialty golf shops, and full-service clubhouses with restaurants making them fantastic choices for your post-round celebration.

What makes golf in Kelowna unique? Well, it’s not only the spectacular courses and conveniently-located accommodations, it’s also everything in-between. A significant bonus is the short drive times between your hotel, the golf courses, and other activities and attractions. The abundance of outdoor activities can bolster your itinerary, from skiing and golfing on the same day in early spring to boating on Okanagan Lake or hiking mountainside trails in spring, summer or fall.

On top of that, you can round out each golf day with a delectable dinner at one of the region's numerous farm-to-table restaurants, many of which have outdoor patios allowing you to continue enjoying the Kelowna weather. There are more than 70 wineries and craft beverage producers, including breweries, cideries, and distilleries, in the area, allowing you to add a group tasting or private reception to your itinerary.
