Kaslo Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to play Kaslo Golf Club?

We think late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October) offers the sweet spot for playing Kaslo. You'll find the course in fantastic shape, the Kootenay mountain views are absolutely stunning with fewer crowds, and the temperatures are perfectly comfortable for a round. Summer is great too, but expect more local play.

Is Kaslo Golf Club suitable for beginners, or is it a challenging course?

Kaslo is wonderfully approachable for all skill levels, making it a true hidden gem for a relaxed round. While it's a shorter course, don't underestimate the tight fairways and elevation changes that demand thoughtful shot placement, especially on holes like the tricky par-3 4th. You'll enjoy the walk and the forgiving greens, but it still offers a fun challenge.

What makes Kaslo Golf Club unique compared to other courses in British Columbia?

What truly sets Kaslo Golf Club apart is its incredible, unpretentious charm and the breathtaking Kootenay Lake backdrop on nearly every hole. This isn't a manicured resort course; it's a genuine community track with a rich history, offering a uniquely Canadian golf experience where wildlife sightings are common. You'll feel like you've stepped back in time to a simpler, more beautiful era of golf.

What should I know about booking tee times and costs at Kaslo?

You'll find Kaslo offers fantastic value, especially compared to bigger resort courses in BC. We recommend calling ahead for tee times, especially on weekends, but walk-ups are often accommodated during quieter weekdays. Expect very reasonable green fees that leave you plenty of budget for a post-round drink on their charming patio.

Are there any specific local tips or hidden gems I should know about when playing Kaslo?

Definitely take a moment to soak in the views from the elevated tee box on the 7th hole-it's a postcard moment you won't forget. After your round, we highly recommend grabbing a bite at the clubhouse, or better yet, exploring Kaslo's charming main street for some local flavour and a stroll along the lakefront. It's a perfect small-town Canadian experience.
