Associate/Assistant Golf Professional: The Okanagan Golf Club
The Okanagan Golf Club is home to two of Kelowna’s most stunning 18-hole championship golf courses. The Quail course, a Les Furbur design built in 1994, offers a challenging array of dramatic elevation changes meandering through the hills above Kelowna. The Bear course, a Nicklaus design opened in 1999, presents impressively sculpted fairways framed by the forests and sagebrush hills of B.C.'s sun-drenched southern interior. After a $4 million extensive clubhouse renovation in 2024, our restaurant, event space and golf shop offer a modern, fresh, welcoming feel.
