British Columbia, Canada
Tower Ranch Golf & Country Club
Course Highlight
Carved dramatically into Kelowna's hillside by Thomas McBroom, this links-style masterpiece features spectacular Okanagan Lake panoramas, dramatic elevation changes, and thrilling valley-crossing drives on holes 13 and 15, earning recognition as the world's 4th best new course in 2008.
About the Course
Named the 4th best new golf course in the world by Travel + Leisure magazine in its debut year of 2008, Tower Ranch Golf & Country Club quickly established itself as a shining jewel in Western Canada's golf landscape. The course climbed to 45th on SCOREGolf's Top 100 Canadian courses and earned the title of 'Best Course in Kelowna' from PGA of BC, setting an unshakable benchmark in the Okanagan Valley. The course's most breathtaking moment arrives at the 17th hole—this par-5 features a green that appears to float above the valley, offering 360-degree panoramic views of Okanagan Lake and distant mountains, locally known as the 'infinity green.' The 6th hole presents a different challenge: a deceptively reachable par-5 conceals danger with a large berm bisecting the fairway, forcing players to wrestle between aggression and caution. Dramatic undulating fairways in links style, abundant bunkering, and fescue grasses that penalize wayward shots make Tower Ranch a true test of strategic thinking.
