Famous for gorgeous scenery and impeccable greens, British Columbia offers up some of the country’s most memorable golfing experiences

Whether connecting with clients, hosting a company golf event or just taking some personal rest and relaxation time, B.C.’s stunning mountain vistas and lush landscapes make the perfect backdrop for whatever golf excursion you can dream up. Golfing is one of the province’s most popular past times, in part because of the nearly year-round season, but mostly because facility operators here make it their life’s mission to make your experience unforgettable. The following are just a few of the incredible facilities BC has to offer.

GolfBC Group

GolfBC Group has been active in the local golf scene since the late 80’s. If you haven’t heard of GolfBC (not to be confused with “BC Golf”, the industry association), you’ll be familiar with its collection of golf courses, including Nicklaus North in Whistler, Mayfair Lakes in Richmond, Olympic View in Victoria, the Okanagan Golf Club and Gallagher’s Canyon in Kelowna, and Wailea on the Hawaiian island of Maui. As the largest owner/operator of golf courses in Western Canada and Hawaii, GolfBC plays a significant role in the experience of local and visiting golfers, the lives of our Team Members and the golf community as a whole.

Whether it’s the purchase of a membership or frequent play pass; participation in a casual (or semi-competitive) men’s or ladies night; a commitment to a lesson program; or simply enjoyment of the social aspects of the clubhouses and restaurants – GolfBC truly offers something for everyone, of all playing abilities, and every budget.

From personalized corporate passes to reward the team, to a hosted fundraiser or company golf tournament, or simply getting out of the office for a privately catered boardroom meeting, businesses looking for turnkey solutions can take advantage of GolfBC’s sales and events expertise.
