Some of the top golf architects in the world including Nicklaus, Palmer and Trent Jones, as well as well-known Canadian architects McBroom, Cooke and Furber have come to BC to craft some of the world’s top courses.  BC’s courses aren’t artificial – they blend with their surroundings to create a natural golf experience that varies with the settings.  Ocean-side, parkland, forest or mountain courses offer tremendous variety, often within a few miles of each other. The temperate climate means that summers are enjoyable and imminently suitable for golf.
