Tee Time in Paradise: The Top 10 Golf Courses in BC (And Why Sun Safety Matters)
Share
British Columbia is a golfer’s dream—lush fairways, mountain views, and coastal breezes make it one of the most scenic places in the world to tee off. Whether you’re a scratch golfer or just out for fun, BC’s golf courses offer something for everyone. But while you're enjoying those perfect drives, don’t forget one thing: the sun doesn't take a mulligan.
At Enjoy the Vu, we’re passionate about performance golf apparel that looks great and protects your skin. Our UPF 50+ long sleeve golf polos are designed for long days on the green—because protecting your skin should be as much a part of your game as reading the wind.
Let’s explore BC’s top golf destinations and how to stay sun safe while playing them.
Top 10 Golf Courses in British Columbia
1. Capilano Golf and Country Club (West Vancouver)
An exclusive club with panoramic ocean views, towering evergreens, and impeccable greens. A stunning place—but sun still finds its way through those trees. Long sleeves recommended.
2. Greywolf Golf Course (Panorama)
Set in the Purcell Mountains, Greywolf is famous for its signature “Cliffhanger” hole. At high elevation, UV exposure is even stronger. Don't forget your UPF protection.
3. Bear Mountain Resort (Victoria)
Home to two Jack Nicklaus-designed courses, this resort combines luxury with challenging terrain. Perfect for layering up with a lightweight sun-safe polo.
4. Tobiano Golf Course (Kamloops)
Sweeping desert landscapes and lake views define Tobiano—so do wide-open skies. The sun is a serious factor here.
5. Big Sky Golf Club (Pemberton)
Surrounded by mountain peaks, this course offers a more remote feel, but don’t let the cooler temperatures fool you—UV rays are still in play.
6. Predator Ridge Resort (Vernon)
A must-play for any serious golfer visiting the Okanagan. Rolling hills mean long rounds—and more exposure. Be ready.
7. Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club (Vancouver)
Host of multiple Canadian Opens, this prestigious course is lined with tree canopies but still has plenty of open fairways. Think long sleeve polos with 4-way stretch comfort.
8. Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club (Whistler)
A mountain golf adventure with bears, rivers, and alpine terrain. Great for adventure. Greater with sun protection gear.
9. Talking Rock Golf Course (Chase)
Owned by the Little Shuswap Lake Band, this course beautifully integrates Indigenous culture and natural terrain. Sun-drenched fairways call for UPF 50+ layers.
10. Storey Creek Golf Club (Campbell River)
“Nature’s golf course” is carved into a forest. Ideal for peaceful play—but don’t forget UV rays sneak through over 70% of light cloud cover.
The Takeaway: Don’t Just Dress for Style—Dress for Protection
BC’s golf courses are unmatched in natural beauty. But the same conditions that make them stunning—open skies, reflective water, high elevations—also increase the risk of sun damage. Melanoma and other skin cancers are no joke, especially when hours on the course stack up.
That’s why at Enjoy the Vu, we design polos that do more than look sharp. They block 98% of harmful UV rays, use breathable, 4-way stretch fabric, and are built for long days on the fairway.
