About this course

The Pinnacle Course at Gallaghers Canyon Golf & Country Club occupies elevated terrain in the hills southeast of Kelowna, where the Okanagan Valley's characteristic benchlands and ponderosa pine forest create a distinctive mountain setting. Designed by Canadian architect Les Furber and opened in the mid-1990s, the course takes advantage of significant elevation changes and natural rock outcroppings that define the property. The routing moves through varied topography, with several holes playing along ridgelines that offer views across the valley and surrounding mountains. Furber's design incorporates the site's natural features, including exposed rock faces, stands of mature pine, and rolling terrain that produces uneven lies and strategic angles. The course requires thoughtful club selection and course management, as elevation changes affect distance and several holes feature forced carries or approach shots to elevated greens. Water comes into play selectively, while the native grasses and rock formations frame many holes. Gallaghers Canyon operates as a semi-private facility, with the Pinnacle serving as the property's championship layout alongside the shorter Canyon Nine. The club attracts both members and daily-fee players drawn to the Okanagan's golf tourism market, which benefits from the region's warm, dry summers and extended playing season. The course represents a characteristic example of British Columbia mountain golf, where dramatic terrain and natural beauty shape both the design and the experience.

Getting there

The journey to Gallaghers Canyon Golf & Country Club begins at Kelowna International Airport (YLW), a compact and efficient gateway perched above the Okanagan Valley, just twenty minutes from the club's gates. The drive east traces the benchlands above the city, where orchards and vineyards give way to the ponderosa pine and bunchgrass of the semi-arid interior plateau. As you climb into the canyon country, the road narrows and the landscape opens to reveal the rugged, sun-baked terrain that defines this corner of British Columbia - a fitting prelude to a club carved into one of the valley's most dramatic natural amphitheaters.
