British Columbia, Canada
Sagebrush Golf Club
Course Highlight
BC's #1 public course, designed by minimalist maestro Rod Whitman, sprawls across rugged ranchland overlooking Nicola Lake, featuring the iconic infinity green at the par-4 2nd that appears to float above the water, with natural contours and sculpted bunkers creating a pure links-style experience.
About the Course
Opening in 2009 to immediate acclaim—winning SCOREGolf's Best New Course award and Golf Digest's Best New Canadian Course the following year—Sagebrush Golf Club quickly established itself among Canada's elite public venues, currently ranked 17th nationally and 1st among BC public courses. Set on the Quilchena plateau, this minimalist masterpiece has become one of western Canada's most distinctive golf landmarks, celebrated for its pure wilderness character and raw aesthetic. The course unfolds across rolling highland terrain, where the 406-yard par-4 2nd frames Nicola Lake as a stunning backdrop, while the #1 handicap 7th—a 588-yard par-5—challenges players with a high-risk second shot threading between rocks, native grasses, and sagebrush on the left side before plunging to a sunken green. Featuring 'the largest greens ever seen on a golf course' and bunkers carved into hillsides like bear claws, every hole embodies the raw essence of wilderness golf.
