Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time to hit the links in the Okanagan-Similkameen, and what should I expect from the weather?

You'll find the prime golf season here runs from late April through early October. Expect warm, dry summers perfect for a round, but spring and fall offer cooler temperatures and often better rates without sacrificing much sunshine.

What kind of golf courses can I expect in the Okanagan-Similkameen - are they all similar?

Not at all - you'll discover a great mix here, from challenging desert-style layouts with sagebrush and canyons to lush parkland courses winding through orchards and along lake shores. Each course offers unique elevation changes and stunning views, so bring your camera.

Beyond golf, what else should I plan to do while visiting the Okanagan-Similkameen?

You absolutely need to explore the region's renowned wineries; many are just a short drive from the courses. We also recommend spending time on Okanagan Lake or Skaha Lake - kayaking, paddleboarding, or just relaxing on the beach are fantastic ways to unwind after your round.

How much should I budget for a round of golf in the Okanagan-Similkameen?

Green fees here generally range from $70-$150 CAD, depending on the course and time of year. You'll find some excellent value during shoulder seasons (spring and fall), and twilight rates can also be a smart way to save a few dollars.

With only 8 courses, are there any must-play experiences in the Okanagan-Similkameen that stand out?

While all 8 courses offer something unique, we highly recommend seeking out those with significant elevation changes for truly memorable tee shots overlooking the valleys and lakes. Look for layouts that integrate the natural desert landscape - they're a real test of strategy and offer incredible scenery.
