When golfers talk about “bucket list” trips, Canada’s West Coast always comes up. Between mountain courses in Alberta, vineyard fairways in the Okanagan, and dramatic layouts in Whistler, you could spend weeks here and barely scratch the surface. That’s where a good itinerary makes all the difference. The challenge? Coordinating tee times, accommodations, and travel across three regions that each have their own must-play courses. Even if you’ve been before, pulling it all together can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve laid out three sample West Coast golf itineraries to show how you can make the most of your time, and why booking through Best Golf Trips makes it so much easier.
Long Weekend Golf Getaway (3 Days)
Sometimes you only have a long weekend to sneak in a trip, but that’s all you need to enjoy a taste of West Coast golf. Kelowna makes a great base, with warm weather, lake views, and several highly ranked courses close together throughout the Okanagan. You might fly in on Friday, check into a downtown hotel, and play a first round at Tower Ranch before heading into town for dinner. Saturday could be some morning golf at Predator Ridge (Predator Course) and an afternoon at a vineyard and a wine country dinner. On Sunday, fit in a final morning tee time at Gallagher’s Canyon before heading home. It’s quick, but you’ll still feel like you’ve experienced the Okanagan’s highlights.
4-Day Golf Escape
If you can stretch things out to four days, Whistler offers a mountain golf trip that’s tough to beat. Each course is unique, and all are within a short drive of each other. Day one could start with check-in at the Whistler Hilton or Fairmont Chateau Whistler, followed by an opening round at Nicklaus North. Day two, take on Big Sky for those dramatic mountain views. On day three, play the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club, which is carved right into the slopes of Blackcomb Mountain. Then wrap things up on day four at Whistler Golf Club, Arnold Palmer’s only Canadian design. Four rounds, four completely different experiences, and plenty of après-golf options in the village.
Extended Golf Tour: The Western Canada Swing
If you have a week or more, the Western Canada Swing is the ultimate way to experience golf on Canada’s West Coast. The itinerary combines three of the country’s most iconic golf regions, the Canadian Rockies, the Okanagan, and Whistler, into one seamless trip.
You might begin with a few days in Canmore and Banff, teeing off at Stewart Creek, Silvertip, and the world-famous Banff Springs. From there, continue into the Okanagan for rounds at Predator Ridge, Tower Ranch, and other regional standouts, with time to enjoy wine country along the way. The trip finishes in Whistler, where you can play Big Sky, Nicklaus North, and the Fairmont Chateau Whistler before flying out of Vancouver. It’s a spectacular journey that checks off nine of SCOREGolf’s Top 59 courses in Canada, giving you the full Western Canada golf experience in one go.
