Birchbank Golf Club

Known for its large manicured greens and contoured fairways, this extremely well maintained, great walkers course offers an enjoyable experience for all golfers.
Castlegar Golf Club
Located on a secluded plateau overlooking the confluence of the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers, the Castlegar Golf Club is the perfect location for a serene excursion from the hectic pace of everyday life. Only minutes from downtown Castlegar, you are instantly transported to a golfer’s paradise.
Balfour Golf Course
Discover Kootenay’s Best-Kept Secret
Get away from it all and enjoy great golf in an unparalleled setting along the peaceful shores of Kootenay Lake at Balfour Golf Course.
This magnificent 6510-yard golfing challenge, designed by Les Furber, features private lakefront meadows and majestic forests. Winding up and down through the Purcell Mountains, stellar fairway and green conditions cap an awe-inspiring golfing experience.
Christina Lake Golf Club
Carved through majestic pine trees, Christina Lake Golf Club is a scenic 18 hole championship course designed by the renowned golf course architect Les Furber. It shows off his signature architecture with elevated tees, strategically bunkered greens and fairways, multi-tiered greens and four holes featuring water hazards. After your round, relax and enjoy the view of the course from our patio or restaurant and plan your next stop on the beautiful Kootenay Golf Trail.
Granite Pointe
With splendid views of the Kokanee Glacier, Kootenay Lake and the mountain city of Nelson, the Granite Pointe Golf Club is yet another gem in BC’s scenic Kootenays.
The course traverses challenging terrain and features a number of risk-reward holes requiring precise shot-making. Be warned however, ‘precise shot-making’ can be hampered by the many magnificent vistas that include the crystal waters of Kootenay Lake, the historic buildings of Nelson and the famed Kokanee Glacier!
Redstone Resort
As soon as you arrive on the first tee at Redstone, you understand that Redstone is a mountain golf course. The West Kootenay is a big part of what makes golf in Canada special. But golf at Redstone is more than the scenery as the first ever “Les Furber Signature Course” from the renown Canadian architect.
