PLAY GOLF KELOWNA
After providing its original name for use by Tourism Kelowna, the three-course consortium that began over a decade ago re-branded its program as “Play Golf Kelowna”, with the domain
www.PlayGolfKelowna.com. Then last fall, Play Golf Kelowna expanded from three golf courses to five courses and three training facilities.
With the choice of playing golf at Kelowna Springs, Shadow Ridge, Shannon Lake, Sunset Ranch and Two Eagles, and training at The Range, Two Eagles, Urban Links, and World Beat, golfers have the opportunity to take advantage of special rates through the purchase of Value Cards that can be redeemed for reduced green fees throughout the year. Whether you golf once a week or every day, there are special packages for any type of golfer.

BC GOLF GUIDE
The BC Golf Guide is the central booking agent for the Golf Shuswap Fabulous Five. The Salmon Arm Golf Club ranked in the top 60 in Canada, along with Canoe Creek, Hyde Mountain, Talking Rock Resort and Shuswap Lakes Estates Golf Club can all be part of your golf package to the North Okanagan.
“This is our third year of marketing these courses as a group,” states BC Golf Guide owner Ross Marrington. “We tie in five great courses with a holiday experience that often includes house boating on Shuswap Lake making it truly unique.” More information is available at
www.bcgolfguide.com or by calling 1-877-223-7226 to book.
OKANAGAN GOLFERS LOOKING FOR DESTINATIONS
Okanagan golfers who already know what our area has to offer and who want to challenge their skills on other courses have plenty of options available, thanks to more flight options offered at Kelowna International Airport. When flying with your golf clubs get the air travel regulations and fee details from the airline.
Prince Edward Island is considered the number one golf destination in Canada right now with ten of the top 100 courses
in the country situated there. Golf PEI is a consortium that involves 20-courses including the highly rated Links at Crowbush Cove, Dundarave, and Eagles Glenn.
“We were voted the undiscovered golf destination in the entire world by Score Golf magazine,” stated Golf PEI Director of Sales and Marketing Amanda Stewart.” We have been selling our product to the world for 7 years now and while our numbers from BC are pretty low, we recognise British Columbia as a potential growth market for us. All 20 of our courses are within 45 minutes of each other and we have terrain to test every level of player. We also offer unique lobster and tuna fishing excursions with our golf packages, and ceilidh parties featuring local music, singing and dancing that are typical PEI.”
Rounds of golf range from $20 up to $110 with most courses having views or being right on the ocean. You can find out more at
www.golfpei.ca or call 1-866-465-3734 for reservations.
Another hot golf destination right now is Vancouver Island. Direct flights to Victoria from Kelowna mean in just over an hour you can be swinging away on an Island course. Golf Vancouver Island has 12 courses and 14 hotels partnered together.
“Our big sellers right now are our ‘fins and skins’ packages where a group of buddies get together and come to play golf and go salmon fishing,” stated Director of Marketing Trisha Larsen. “The 36-hole Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort and Spa in Victoria designed by Jack Nicklaus is our showcase property, but Duncan Meadows in Cowichan will give you a golf and wine experience, and Morningstar or Pheasant Glen in Parksville/Qualicum provide ocean-side golf. We like to think we have a golf package that will fit everyone’s desires no matter what level of player they are.”
