Golfing in the West Kootenay

One of the best things about golfing in the West Kootenay is that there is always a stellar course just half an hour away from your last round of golf. What makes these courses stand out is the way in which they have been designed to take advantage of the natural beauty and lay of the land. Les Furber, who has been called the best golf designer in Canada, was responsible for a number of the great courses in the West Kootenay, like Balfour Golf Course and Christina Lake Golf Club.
