British Columbia is home to over 300 stunning golf courses, each offering its own unique scenery and holes. I’ve been lucky enough to play lots of different courses across B.C., from my hometown of Prince George to down here in the lower mainland.

Now, I’m not the best when it comes to swinging a golf club, but to me golf isn’t just about trying to get your ball in that tiny little hole. It’s about that feeling you get when you’re enjoying the game’s beauty and excitement. You may be asking yourself, what are some of the best courses to play at in British Columbia? Well, let me tell you.

At number five on our list, we have Talking Rock Golf Course. Situated near Kamloops, on the east end of Little Shuswap Lake, lies a beautiful 18-hole golf course that has views that will blow your freaking mind. Talking Rock is well known for its beautiful views of the nearby mountains and its challenging design. I’ve had the honour of playing at this course before and I gotta say, it’s one of the nicest courses I have played at. I didn’t do as well as I wanted to, but hey, I can still tell my friends and family that I have played at one of the most beautiful courses in all of British Columbia.

Eagle Ranch Golf Course takes the number four position on this list. Located near the border of British Columbia and Alberta in a city called Invermere, is a course called Eagle Ranch Resort & Golf Course. Eagle Ranch combines mountain terrain with very wide fairways. Eagle Ranch offers incredible views of the Columbia Valley and the Rockies.

Number three on the list of the best courses in British Columbia is Tobiano Golf Course. Whenever I’m going down to the Okanagans for a little vacation in the summer, I always drive past Tobiano and, man, do I really want to play a round there one day. Tobiano, just like Talking Rock, is located near Kamloops and it offers one of the most incredible views of Kamloops Lake. The course has a desert-like landscape, making the whole thing like one giant bunker.

Second place is a course just outside of Merritt called Sagebrush Golf Club. Sagebrush is known for its challenging layout as the course features a variety of uphill and downhill holes with multiple ways to get to the hole from tee to green, suiting different skill levels.

A very special day today revisiting Sagebrush Golf Club, a Rod Whitman & Richard Zokol collaboration near Kelowna, BC. The best modern course I’ve played in 🇨🇦 has been resurrected from the grave (after being closed for 7 years), and I look forward to the official opening. pic.twitter.com/7vix9Hqyi7

In first place for the nicest course in all of British Columbia is none other than Capilano Golf & Country Club. Capilano Golf & Country Club in West Vancouver is an iconic course. It has a classic design, great maintenance, and stunning views of downtown Vancouver and the Pacific Ocean. It’s the top golfing spot in B.C.

I gotta show some bias to my hometown of Prince George, so an honourable mention on our list is Aberdeen Glen. Considering I’m from Prince George, I of course have had lots of opportunities to play here and I gotta say it’s highly underrated when it comes to a golf course. It offers a friendly atmosphere, well-maintained greens, and a challenging layout, making it a great spot for golf for both locals and visitors.

British Columbia is home to over 300 stunning golf courses, each offering unique scenery and challenges. From my hometown of Prince George to the lower mainland, I’ve been fortunate to play on many of these courses. While I’m not the best golfer, I believe golf is about enjoying the beauty and excitement of the game.
