CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF COURSE

Canoe Creek Golf Course offers a new look and a very rewarding golf experience. Dave Barr’s first Signature Course is a refreshing approach to design unlike any in the interior of British Columbia, styled to test the accomplished golfer while accommodating the recreational golfer – four sets of tees make it a pleasure for all. This is an old look with a modern approach.

Featuring grass-style cart paths that blend with the natural feel of the course, Canoe Creek welcomes both walkers and riders. The fairways are framed by natural grasses that present the golfer with a very strong ‘British Isles’ feeling. Barr was able to recreate that look by incorporating the natural features of the land into the golf course. The unique layout allows the modern style player to bomb the ball off the tee and land those long second shots onto the greens. The course also sets up very well for the golfer wanting to play the old-fashioned bump-and-run game.

Pot bunkers are scattered strategically throughout the golf course; sometimes these may not be all that friendly and simply avoiding them is a good option. The fronts of the traditional Scottish pop up greens are open and accessible; the greens are large and receptive with soft undulations. The new hybrid A4 bent grass provides the golfer with a putting surface that is excellent, fast and very true.

The north nine holes are entirely on the former farmland, with rolling hills, pot bunkers, marshes, and natural vegetation as the primary defence. At 165 yards from the championship tee, the number 3 hole is a par 3 which features a spectacular waterfall and pond.

Canoe Creek itself winds its way through several holes on the south nine. Elevation changes and the presence of Canoe Creek significantly alter the degree of difficulty on five of these nine holes, including both par 3’s.

It all adds up to 18 spectacular holes that will invite you back again and again!

Nothing else plays like this!
