WestJet Magazine Names 3 BC Courses as Favourite Canadian Courses
WestJet Magazine named their Favourite Canadian Golf Courses and we're proud to tout three British Columbia courses made this prestigious list.
The Kootenay Rockies offer everything you’d expect from a place dubbed British Columbia’s Mountain Playground. Majestic mountains; pristine rivers, lakes and waterfalls; mineral hot springs; and incredible golfing beneath snow-capped peaks.
Everyone should experience the Kootenay Rockies golf courses – there’s something special about playing golf in the mountains. Dramatic elevation changes, spectacular scenery, wildlife, an away-from-it-all atmosphere, natural hot springs, the list goes on. It all adds up to one of the most exciting brands of golf you can play. And nowhere else in Canada – perhaps the world! – is there a better mountain golf destination than the spectacular Kootenay Rockies!
BC’s mountain-framed southeast corner, is home to over 25 championship Kootenay Rockies golf courses. It’s also where talented Canadian golf course architect Les Furber, who apprenticed under Robert Trent Jones Sr., stamped his particular style — white-sand bunkers, huge, undulating greens, holes aligned with the surrounding peaks. Many of the courses in this mountain-covered region make perennial appearances on Canada’s Top-100 list. The accolades, the awards, are many, as are your choices for Kootenay Rockies Golf Packages.
