- British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley is perhaps best known for its viticulture. In addition to its vineyards and wineries, however, the Okanagan boasts several world-class golf properties strewn across the region’s 8,000 square miles. Predator Ridge is one such example. The resort offers a slew of vacation-rental style accommodations that include full kitchens, fireplaces, and balconies, among other amenities; and they’re an ideal refuge to return to after a day out on the links.
- As for the property’s two golf courses, the Predator Course, built by Les Furber in 1991, plays as its name suggests—hard. Ironically more spacious and wide-open than its sister course (more on this in a moment), the Predator is a stern test largely due to its narrow, heavily bunkered fairways, tall fescue grasses that line most of the playing corridors, and aggressively sloped green complexes that often feature multiple tiers. The Ridge Course, by contrast, is more player friendly despite the fact that it carves its way through woodlands and weaves around granite outcroppings—many of which are in play. Designed by Doug Carrick, the Ridge opened in 2010 and delivers stunning views from some of the property’s highest points. (https://linksmagazine.com/canada-top-golf-resorts)

VICTORIA
Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa, 1999 Country Club Way, Victoria, BC V9B 6R3
- Although it’s home to two Jack Nicklaus-designed courses, the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa on the southernmost tip of Vancouver Island delivers two disparate golfing experiences based on which track guests choose to play. The Mountain Course introduces demanding terrain and dramatic elevation changes, as most mountain-based layouts typically do, but unlike most alpine tracks, this design also presents stunning views. Its lower-elevation sibling, the Valley Course, provides a friendlier embrace to most golfers thanks to its wider fairways, larger greens, and fewer bunkers. Much like its brawnier brother, the Valley delivers a plethora of natural beauty, as golfers will travel through forests, alongside lakes, and over creeks as they complete their round. Best of all, the resort is just minutes from downtown Victoria, which means guests can balance their mountain getaway with the right amount of cosmopolitan living.
