If you’re dreaming about your next big golf trip, Western Canada might just be calling your name. Think jaw-dropping mountain backdrops, sun-soaked vineyard valleys, and lively mountain towns where everything is just a short walk from the first tee. Whether you’re chasing top-ranked courses or just looking for the perfect mix of golf, good times, and great views, Western Canada is packed with experiences that’ll have you coming back year after year.
In this guide, we’re diving into three of the best regions for Western Canada golf trips: Alberta, Whistler, and the Okanagan. Each has its own vibe, but all of them serve up unforgettable golf, awesome places to stay, and off-course perks that make your trip so much more than just another round.
Alberta: Golf in the Heart of the Rockies
Let’s start with Alberta, where mountain golf hits its peak (literally). This is where bucket-list courses meet some of the most iconic views in the country. Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge Golf Course is a must-play, with a Stanley Thompson design that weaves through forests and around glacier-fed lakes. Nearby, Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course gives you that same wow factor with a touch of castle charm.
And there’s more: Stewart Creek, Silvertip, and the twin beauties at Kananaskis—Mt. Kidd and Mt. Lorette—all offer unique layouts and unforgettable scenery. Whether you’re after high-end comfort at Blackstone Mountain Lodge, a cozy mountain escape at Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, or something practical like the Coast Hotel, Alberta has a stay to match your style.
Whistler: Big Views, Bigger Vibes
Whistler in the summer? It’s a whole vibe. While it’s known for skiing, Whistler actually sees more visitors in summer and golf is a big reason why. It’s home to four epic courses, all ranked in Canada’s top 59 public tracks, and all within 25 minutes of each other.
Whistler Golf Club is right in the village and perfect for an easygoing round. Nicklaus North brings the challenge with tighter fairways and a refined feel right on Green Lake. Fairmont Chateau Whistler winds up Blackcomb Mountain for a rollercoaster of elevation changes, while Big Sky in nearby Pemberton is wide-open and peaceful, framed by the towering Mount Currie.
You’ve got options for where to crash, too. Montebello and Fitzsimmons Walk offer luxury rentals ideal for groups. The Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa and Whistler Village Inn & Suites are perfect for staying in the heart of the action, steps from golf, dining, and Whistler’s buzzing village energy.
Okanagan: Sunshine, Fairways, and Wine Country Vibes
Now for something a little different. Known for its dry, sunny weather and lakefront lifestyle, the Okanagan Valley brings the heat. It’s a perfect spot if you want to mix top-notch golf with wine tasting, beach time, and local eats.
Predator Ridge is the standout resort here, with two incredible courses: the Ridge Course by Doug Carrick and the Predator Course by Les Furber. Nearby, Tobiano overlooks Kamloops Lake and feels like golfing on another planet. You’ve also got Sagebrush, Talking Rock, Tower Ranch, and Gallagher’s Canyon—each one offering its own twist on Okanagan golf.
Stay right on-site at Predator Ridge if you’re after the full resort experience, or check into the Royal Anne Hotel in Kelowna for a more central, walkable option that puts you close to great restaurants and local wineries.
