GOLF

THE FAIRWAYS ARE CALLING.

Penticton is one of the few places in Canada where you can golf almost year round!

Our golf season starts in early spring and with plenty of annual sunshine, dry weather and incredible views throughout the valley, making Penticton the perfect hub for a South Okanagan golf getaway. The region boasts a variety of courses including championship 18-hole courses, executive 9-hole courses and driving ranges all within a 1 hour drive from Penticton. Following the diverse landscape of Penticton and the South Okanagan region as whole, golfers have been flocking to Penticton to test their skills at the different styles of courses.

Penticton is home to the Penticton Golf & Country Club, in the heart of the city, and was the first 18-hole golf course in the BC Interior. This course provides a challenge from the back tees but is still fun for intermediate and casual golfers, with short game practice facilities available. The clubhouse offers guests a full-service pro shop and a licensed restaurant with a large patio overlooking the course.

Heading south is Fairview Mountain Golf Course in Oliver, designed by Les Furber. This course is enjoyable and playable by all golfers, and also offers a complete practice facility, with a driving range, short game area, expansive putting green and bunker practice. Fairview Mountain Lounge provides a licenced restaurant and two outdoor patios with incredible views.

Further south is Osoyoos Golf Club. With two 18-hole layouts, golfers have the option to experience the cart-mandatory unique desert links course or a walkable parkland style course surrounded by the orchards and vineyards of Osoyoos. The clubhouse offers guests a full-service pro shop and 3 dining areas with deck and patio space overlooking the course. In addition, the Golf Academy hosts a full length driving range, practice putting green, plus an 80 yard short game area featuring 2 putting greens, greenside bunker and various lie options.

Disc Golf

First played in 1926, disc or frisbee golf is a new spin on a classic game. Penticton is home to two unique layouts to try.

Marina View 9 Hole Course is minutes from Okanagan Beach and is a great way to take a break from the beach and try something new. For the more experienced player, head out to the Three Blind Mice 18 Hole Course located on Naramata Bench, for a fun and challenging course in the open pine forest above the vineyards and orchards of Penticton.
