Canada Wild, wild golf The second largest country in the world, Canada covers over five million square miles and is a country of diverse landscapes and cultures. This land of contrast is never more pronounced than in the stunning Province of British Columbia. Located on the West Coast, British Columbia contains some of the world’s most varied and breathtaking scenery, ranging from pine forests and glacial-fed rivers to the craggy wilderness of the mountain ranges. Vancouver is the largest city in the state - host to the 2010 Winter Olympics - it is a fascinating and cosmopolitan city. Downtown Vancouver is home to the central business district and the older neighbourhoods of Yaletown and Chinatown. There’s an array of restaurants, bars, shops and museums. There’s great shopping to be had in Robson Street or take a short taxi boat across the False Creek inlet to explore the sights and seafood smells of Granville Island. There is a great deal to see and do in-andaround the city limits including whale watching, taking the gondola up Grouse Mountain to see Grizzly bears and wolves, cycling around Stanley Park...It’s outdoor leisure at its most exciting! When visiting British Columbia, a stay in Victoria is a must! Situated at the southern tip of Vancouver Island, this charming city is rich in culture and colonial heritage. It’s easily reached from Vancouver by ferry or by plane and perfect for a twin-centre holiday. Called ‘The Garden City’, Victoria bustles. It boasts the mildest climate in Canada and a

charming ambience. You will fall in love with the narrow streets, elegant Victorian buildings, picturesque Inner Harbour and Parliament Buildings. Allow several hours when visiting the famous Royal B.C. Museum as it is well worth it.

Golf can be played all-year-round in British Columbia but the best time is from April to October. The greens and fairways are kept in tremendous condition.
If you are planning a touring holiday, Banff is the ideal final point of call before your return flight from Calgary. Located in Alberta, it has plenty of good restaurants and shops, outstanding golf courses and beautiful views everywhere you look. The stunning Lake Louise and Icefields are just some of the many excursions possible from Banff.
Best known as a winter skiing village, Whistler is also a superb golfing resort. The four courses are extremely pretty and combine mesmerising views, challenging holes and the odd bear or two!
