A British Columbia golf holiday could very well be the most memorable holiday you’ll ever take! British Columbia is internationally renowned for the stunning scenery, the sparklingly clean air, and the quiet of unspoiled wilderness. This is as close as it gets to paradise on earth.

Snow-gilded mountain peaks, gem-like lakes, lush green river valleys and wide blue western skies are almost scenery clichés, but on your British Columbia golf vacation this is reality. The fact that you’ll be playing golf in such a stunning setting is just the icing on the cake. Of course, the plentiful world-class golf courses in the area take full advantage of their gorgeous location.

Lush fairways weave themselves around glacier-fed streams and towering stands of evergreens, and often the greens themselves are back-dropped by beautiful vistas. If there is a heaven, surely it must look like this! In such circumstances, it can be very difficult to concentrate on your golf game.

There are a wide variety of golf courses to choose from, all of them amazing in their own unique way. Stanley Thompson, British Columbia’s master golf architect, designed the Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course in 1928. He thoughtfully incorporated the natural scenic splendor into his design. The course winds along beside the pristine wilderness of the Bow River overlooked by the snow-capped peaks of Sulphur Mountain and Mount Rundle. This amazing course will both challenge and delight you.

SCOREGolf Magazine rates the Jasper Park Lodge Golf Club as the #1 Golf Resort in British Columbia with good reason. Designed in the 1920’s by Stanley Thompson, few golf courses in the world can match the rugged majesty of this national treasure. The design features wide fairways carved through thick forest, dramatic bunkering and holes aligned with distant mountain vistas.

Of course, a British Columbia golf vacation would be incomplete without luxurious accommodations, fine dining, unique shopping experiences and pampering spas. Fortunately, resorts like Banff and Jasper in the Rockies have been offering these amenities for well over a century, all in a unique manner. Hedonistic luxury in the heart of spectacular unspoiled wilderness is now a British Columbian Rockies tradition.
