Ben Hogan once said, "The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight." It's a fair point and for the most part we couldn't agree more - with one exception. We can't imagine Ben Hogan ever played golf in beautiful British Columbia during the autumn months. Because while daylight hours may indeed be starting to fade slightly earlier in the evening, the beauty of the surroundings, the crispness of the air, and the beautiful fall light before, during and after your round more than make up for it.
It's a magical time in BC - as anyone who has ever been here (and more specifically golfed here) can attest to. And make no mistake, there is still plenty of great golf to be played during the fall season in BC. Especially if you're smart about it and stay right on the course at one of the BC golf resorts featured below. That way you don't waste a minute of the daylight hours you do have, going from room to tee in minutes. Don't let the sun go down on your golf season without one last hurrah - take advantage of one of these fall golf resort getaways and end the golf season swinging.
Vancouver Island Golf Resorts
Vancouver Island, named in the top North American Islands by Condé Nast Traveler Magazine for the last 10 years, is home to two world-class destination golf resorts.
Fairways Hotel on the Mountain & Bear Mountain Golf & Tennis Community

Whistler Golf Resorts
Rated Canada’s number one golf resort by Golf Digest, Whistler’s four championship, designer courses provide an unparalleled mountain golf experience and possibly some of the best golf on the continent.
Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Resort
The readers of Condé Nast Traveler have voted the Fairmont Chateau Whistler one of the top 10 golf resorts in the world. Not least because of the golf course itself: a Robert Trent Jones design which climbs up more than 400 feet from the level of the hotel to a benchland on the side of Blackcomb Mountain with spectacular views of Whistler Valley.
Kamloops Golf Resorts
Kamloops golf courses lie on the northern tip of the Sonoran desert, a location yielding warmer temperatures - even through the Fall - and a longer golf season than most... You're looking at eight months plus of hot golf! Little wonder that the two golf resorts in the region are busy late into the year.
Sun Peaks Resort
Sun Peaks Resort offers a one-of-a-kind BC golf vacation opportunity with the greens located at 1,200 metres above sea level, making the Golf Course at Sun Peaks Resort British Columbia's highest elevation course. It's also a fantastic all-season playground with hiking, biking and activities galore for the whole family.

Quaaout Lodge & Talking Rock Golf Course
This is a truly unique BC golf resort getaway. “Hear the legend…feel the spirit” at Talking Rock Resort and Quaaout Lodge. Owned by the Little Shuswap Indian Band, the culturally rich Talking Rock Resort blends age-old Indigenous traditions with classic hotel-style amenities, golf and gourmet dining.
Unfortunately, Quaaout Lodge & Spa at Talking Rock Golf Resort lost most of its guest rooms to a structural fire in 2022. Fortunately, a large part of the facility was preserved, including golf shop, restaurant and spa. The Band will be rebuilding the lodge as "the heart of the community." In the meantime, we ask that you consider supporting the community by booking a round of golf either directly or as part of your packaged golf vacation. Kukstsémc (thank you).

There’s something special about playing golf in the mountains. Dramatic elevation changes, bragging rights on a drive off the tee that flies further, spectacular scenery, wildlife, natural hot springs (and boy do those feel good in the cooler, crisper autumn air), the feeling of getting away from it all - something you really can do at not one but four spectacular Kootenay Rockies golf resorts.
