Vernon Steps Out Of The Golfing Shadows The City Of Vernon's Courses Are Working Together To Market The Area As A Golf Destination. Myles Johnson is proud to call Vernon home. It?s where Johnson was born and raised, where he learned to golf and where he has spent more than 20 years in the golf industry. So it?s probably safe to say no one was happier than Johnson, the head professional of Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club, when Vernon-area golf courses recently formed a consortium to market themselves as a golf destination. ?I love it,?Johnson says. ?I think for too long we have been trying to do things on our own PG 26 | OCT 2018

I love the fact that Vernon remains committed to promoting the game of golf. Others seem to have abandoned golf when it needs the promotion the most and I credit Vernon for that as well. What Vernon has is not only some great golf, but also a terrific variety in its product. Spallumcheen and Vernon Golf & Country Club are both classic parkland-style courses that golf purists love.

Lake and playing it is a little like riding a roller-coaster with plenty of ups and downs. And then there is Predator Ridge, the magnificent 36-hole resort that in many ways is in a class of its own. Predator often gets lumped in with its Kelowna neighbours, but it?s address reads Vernon. And Predator Ridge boss Brad Pelletier, whose leadership and vision is one of the secrets to the resort?s success, does not mind celebrating that fact. Pelletier was happy to get on board with Tourism Vernon?s efforts to market the city?s golf course properties. ?I love the fact that Vernon remains committed to promoting the game of golf,?Pelletier says.

Video: SCGA Rules Crew 'Leaves' (Rule12-1b) If you play golf in the Pacific Northwest in the fall then you're probably familiar with trying to find your ball amongst fallen leaves. That's not uncommon when you're under or close to the trees, but leaves often collect in bunkers as well. A few years ago the rule changed regarding the penalty for moving your ball when looking for it in the leaves. With the fall we've had in BC this year, this seemed like a good time to revisit that rule. The SCGA 'Rules Crew' (Southern California Golf Association) demonstrates that rule for us to see how to deal with... 'leaves'. PG 32 | OCT 2018

Evidence linking golf and health, commissioned by the World Golf Foundation and supported by The R&A, was presented recently in London at the 7th Congress of the International Society for Physical Activity and Health (ISPAH). The biennial scientific meeting is widely regarded as the world?s flagship physical activity and public health event attended by more than 1,000 delegates from 60 countries. Recognition that playing golf has significant physical health and wellness benefits and can provide moderate intensity
physical activity to persons of all ages, comes just months after the World Health Organization (WHO) published its Global Action Plan for Physical Activity. The Global Action Plan targets one in four adults, and four out of five adolescents (11-17 years) who are insufficiently active, and charts how countries can reduce physical inactivity in adults and adolescents by 15% by 2030.

bay seats eight people and rents for $60 an hour or $100 for two hours. That includes unlimited range balls. The hope is the range will draw a younger crowd and maybe turn some of them into golfers. ?We want people to come here and enjoy it and have fun,?Raleigh says. ?Not everyone has four hours to go out and play a round of golf. So they can come here, hang out with their friends, hang out with their kids, hang out with their spouse, have a great time, order a great drink and have some great food. Raleigh, who is the daughter of Seymour Pacific Developments founder Kris Mainland, says the family is only getting started. It plans to turn the property into much more than just a golf course. Plans call for a 100-room hotel, a conference centre capable of handling 300 guests, a spa, swimming pool and a new clubhouse featuring a restaurant and lounge. Work | OCT 2018
on all of that is scheduled to begin next fall. ?We are super excited about the next phase of this project,? Raleigh says. ?Next September we are going to tear down that clubhouse and we are going to turn it into a destination golf resort.? Raleigh hopes golfers will use the resort as their base to explore the many outdoor activities Campbell River has to offer. That includes golfing at the area?s two other courses, Storey Creek Golf Club and Quadra Island Golf Club, a nine-hole layout that is just 10 minutes away by ferry. Crown Isle Golf Resort is just 45 minutes away in Courtenay and could easily be added to a Campbell River stay-and-play package. ?My long-term goal, when we have our hotel and our convention centre and our spa and all of our other amenities built, is that we would bring people to Campbell River and

?Others seem to have abandoned golf when it needs the promotion the most and I credit Vernon for that as well. Any time we are driving traffic up here to experience not only the golf but the great wineries that are emerging in the north Okanagan, that benefits everyone.? Tourism Vernon recently hosted a group of Canadian and American golf writers to experience the city?s courses. We stayed at the Predator Ridge Lodge, which boasts
superb studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites overlooking the Predator Course. The Lodge will be among several Vernon-area properties offering stay-and-play packages to city courses. When it comes to Vernon golf, Predator Ridge is unquestionably the star of the show. It features the original Predator Course, designed by Les Furber, as well as Doug Carrick?s magnificent Ridge Course. The fact they are two

The dramatic site of the Predator Course, which opened in 1991, is what you see as you drive into Predator Ridge on Commonage Road above the resort. It winds its way through grasslands and rolling hills and features large undulating greens.

Greg Norman, Sergio Garcia and Mike Weir. Garcia was so enamored with Predator Ridge that he purchased two cottages located on the course when he played there in 2000.

There is dramatic elevation change and Carrick has done a masterful job of keeping the course very playable. Some of the holes wind their way through granite CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

outcroppings, but Carrick has shaped the holes in a way that more often than not bounces balls back into play. The Ridge Course offers some stunning views of Okanagan Lake, most notably from the elevated tee on the par 3 fifth hole. Predator Ridge also boasts a huge grass-tee driving range and practice facility. The resort recently completed a $3.5-million ?refresh?project that saw four holes -- No.s 3, 4 and 9 on the Predator Course and No. 1 on the Ridge Course -- reworked to make them more playable. That project was led by Carrick with input from Furber. But Predator Ridge is about much more than golf. Its nearly 1,200 acres now include more than 700 homes. The resort features more than 35 kilometres of multi-use trails and 12.5 kilometres of bike-specific trails. Other amenities include a fitness centre, swimming pools, five | OCT 2018
tennis courts and two pickleball courts -- some of them covered for winter use -and three yoga platforms.
We are blessed with a great property and the two courses are so different. But I think more than anything else, one of the real keys to our success is that we respect tradition but embrace change. Pelletier says he and his staff are always seeking to add to the Predator experience. ?We are blessed with a great property,?Pelletier says. ?And the two courses are so different.

But there is a ton of good
golf here.? The grand-daddy of Vernon golf is Vernon Golf & Country Club, which is the second-oldest golf course in the Okanagan (Kelowna Golf Club is the oldest). Founded in 1913, Vernon is located just a short distance from downtown. The course features a rather unique entrance. As you drive into the course, you actually drive onto it as you must cross the 16th fairway to get to the parking lot and clubhouse area.

The course, which is walkable, winds along fairways lined with Lombardy poplars and huge weeping willows. Stray off the fairway and you will have a decision to make. ?You will be able to recover from them, but you are going to have one of two options: over or under, and a lot of the trees are too big to go over,?says head professional Brooks Jones."

and a nine-hole executive layout. Its main course is a delight to play and includes a number of doglegs. Like Vernon, its greens are a challenge. They have lots of slope and there are some pin positions from which two-putting can be quite a feat. Spallumcheen has an especially strong finishing stretch, highlighted by the short 131-yard par 3 17th hole where players hit to a green fronted by a large pond, and the 567-yard par 5 18th hole, where water protects the left side of the green.

We get people who are staying at Predator who call us up and are up there for a couple of weeks and are just looking for something different. That?s great.
