The Pinnacle Course at Gallagher's Canyon

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play The Pinnacle Course for ideal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting from late spring through early fall for the best weather and course conditions. While July and August offer warm, sunny days perfect for golf, we personally love late September when the fall colors begin to emerge and the crowds thin out. You'll find the course in pristine shape during these months, and the views are simply spectacular.

How challenging is The Pinnacle Course, especially for a mid-handicapper?

The Pinnacle is a fair test, but it definitely demands precision, especially off the tee. You'll encounter some significant elevation changes and tight fairways carved through the canyon, so bring your A-game for course management. Don't let the stunning beauty distract you from the need for accurate iron play into well-protected greens.

What makes The Pinnacle Course truly stand out from other Canadian courses?

It's the dramatic canyon setting and the incredible Okanagan Valley views that truly set The Pinnacle apart. We particularly love the stretch from holes 10 to 14, where you're playing along the canyon rim with breathtaking panoramas at every turn. You'll want to bring your camera, but don't forget to focus on your swing!

Should I plan on walking or taking a cart at The Pinnacle Course?

Given the significant elevation changes and the distances between some greens and tees, we strongly recommend taking a cart at The Pinnacle. While it's technically walkable, you'll conserve energy and enjoy the round much more if you ride. Plus, it gives you more time to soak in those incredible views without feeling rushed.

What's the vibe like at Gallagher's Canyon after a round on The Pinnacle?

The clubhouse at Gallagher's Canyon offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere perfect for unwinding. We always grab a drink and a bite on the patio overlooking the 18th green - it's a fantastic spot to recount your best shots and enjoy the Okanagan sunshine. You're also just a short drive from some excellent wineries if you want to extend your day.
