Peg it up on the Columbia Valley Golf Trail
Peg it up on the Columbia Valley Golf Trail: Straight away, directly behind the fluttering flag, looms a giant saw-tooth peak. To the right of the tee, a glacier-fed stream charges down the mountainside. To the left, pines sway and creak on a heaving slope. Ahhh, yes. Golf at Greywolf in the Columbia Valley. It doesn't get much better. The Kootenay Rockies region, specifically the Columbia Valley, is, undoubtedly, home to some of the most inspiring mountain golf on the planet. Eagle Ranch, Copper Point, Radium Resort, and the aforementioned Greywolf...take your pick. The best part? There are nine championship courses to choose from on the newly-formed Columbia Valley Golf Trail. Pack your clubs. www.columbiavalleygolftrail.ca Score a Whistler Hat Trick: Flying down the wing and blasting a bullet of a slapshot into the top corner always feels good. Do it three times in a hockey rink, and it's cause for some real celebration. This summer, bring that celebratory spirit for all things three to Whistler; at this golf utopia, links lovers can partake in their own Golf Whistler Hat Trick. When you purchase the Hat Trick ($2,299 plus GST) you're entitled to 10 rounds of golf at the Whistler Golf Club, 10 rounds at Nicklaus North, and 10 rounds at Big Sky Golf & Country Club. That's three outstanding golf courses at huge savings. But, like Sidney Crosby pouncing on a loose puck, you'll want to get on this quickly. And often; the rounds expire October 12th, 2009. About the time you'll want to sharpen those skates for another season on the ice. www.golfwhistler.com Golf is "Work" in British Columbia's Shuswap: Summer in the Shuswap is slow, simple, and sublime. Houseboating, beaching, sipping cocktails on sun-soaked patios; indeed, the list of "arduous" activities goes on. With a number of lovely lakeside layouts, you'll definitely want to add golf to your inventory of, um, chores. Here's your laundry list: the Thompson Okanagan region now boasts five premier courses in the Shuswap - Talking Rock, Canoe Creek, Hyde Mountain, Salmon Arm, and Shuswap Lake Estates - and a laid-back vibe that will have you on the first tee. So pack your titanium tools, get your work gloves on (most people just use one for their left hand), and get swinging. For more information, or to book a package, visit www.golfshuswap.com. Gather the Guys for Golf on Vancouver Island: Everybody knows that guys' golf trips – the trash talkin', beer swillin', poker playin' excursions that they are – make for one swinging time. And one of the best places to gather the gang for a bit of golfing (and whatever else goes with it) is Vancouver Island; with plenty of excellent options to choose from, a guys-only junket to the Island is always a blast. Besides the ever-popular Victoria Getaway, where you can sample the fabulous new Valley Course at Bear Mountain, there are additional boys-only outings offered through Golf Vancouver Island, including the North Island Catch (& Release) package, which includes golf and, you guessed it, salmon fishing. Whether your post-round activities include bungee jumping, whale watching, or just hunkering down for beer and nachos (included in all packages), rest assured, neither scrapbooking nor needlework will be part of the festivities. www.golfvancouverisland.ca [Back to Press Releases Main]
