Trickle Creek

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Trickle Creek for ideal conditions?

We highly recommend aiming for late June through early September. The course is in peak condition during these months, and you'll enjoy reliably warm, sunny weather perfect for those stunning mountain views. You'll avoid the early season dampness and the late season frost, ensuring a fantastic round.

How challenging is Trickle Creek, especially for a mid-handicapper?

Trickle Creek is a proper mountain test, but it's fair and incredibly fun. The elevation changes are significant, so club selection is key, and you'll want to pay attention to the wind, which can swirl through the valleys. Don't be afraid to take an extra club on uphill shots, and enjoy the exhilarating downhill bombs.

Is it common to see wildlife on the course at Trickle Creek?

Absolutely, encountering wildlife is a regular part of the Trickle Creek experience. We've often seen deer, elk, and even bears on the fringes of the fairways, especially in the early mornings or late evenings. Just remember to give them their space and enjoy the natural spectacle unfolding around you.

How does Trickle Creek compare in value to other top courses in British Columbia?

For a mountain course of this caliber, Trickle Creek offers excellent value. While it might not have the same 'trophy course' price tag as some of the Whistler or Banff courses, the conditioning, views, and unique layout easily put it in the same league for a more accessible price point. It's a fantastic bang for your buck.

What's there to do around Kimberley after a round at Trickle Creek?

Kimberley is a charming Bavarian-themed town, so we always recommend grabbing a refreshing beer and a schnitzel at one of the local pubs- the Platzl is a great spot. If you're looking for more golf, St. Eugene is just a short drive away, offering a completely different but equally enjoyable experience.
