Breathtaking scenery. World-class Les Furber course design. Exceptional service.

The course is home to approximately 140 Bighorn Sheep that roam the fairways. The clubhouse has gone through an extensive renovation recently and is set right against the bluffs with stunning views from the full-service patio and restaurant.
The Radium Course:
A Columbia Valley Favorite since 1956, the Radium course is perched high over the Village of Radium Hot Springs in the rugged terrain bordering Kootenay National Park. The course features tight, tree-lined fairways, undulating greens and dramatic elevation changes sure to test players of all abilities. The 35,000 square foot clubhouse and property is going through an extensive remodel with an addition of a new hotel adjacent to the golf course due to open in 2025.
