This is one we discovered through our curling club, and it’s where the curlers gather for summer fun on the greens. Recognized by Dreamscapes Travel Magazine (Globe & Mail) as one of six 'play the best for less gems' across Canada, we think they choose well. The full-length 18 holes are picture-perfect, and an easy walker but during warmer weather, you’ll want to take a cart. Located in the heart of Kelowna, it’s an easy drive for those who want to stick close to home base for a quick retreat to the beach following their game – although there’s plenty of places to play in the sand and take a dip on the course.

If you’re here for a longer visit, and are focused on a golf vacation, Kelowna Springs is a participant in the Play Golf Kelowna program. Five courses, four practice facilities, one incredible value. Save up to 40% on green fees at Kelowna Springs, Shadow Ridge, Shannon Lake, Sunset Ranch and Two Eagles – all excellent local courses in their own right.
