About this course
Predator Ridge Golf Resort sits in the North Okanagan region of British Columbia, approximately six kilometers south of Vernon. The property occupies elevated terrain overlooking Okanagan Lake, with views extending across the valley and surrounding mountains. Canadian architect Les Furber designed the original course, which opened in the early 1990s and established the resort as a destination layout in the interior of the province. The resort later expanded to include a second eighteen designed by Doug Carrick, creating a thirty-six-hole facility. Furber's routing takes advantage of the natural topography, moving through rolling terrain with elevation changes that provide strategic interest and varied shot requirements. The course features a mix of tree-lined corridors and more open holes where the Okanagan landscape becomes prominent. Fairways typically offer width, though approach shots demand accuracy to greens that incorporate contour and slope. The design emphasizes playability for resort guests while maintaining challenge through thoughtful green complexes and strategic bunkering. The setting reflects the semi-arid climate of the Okanagan Valley, with ponderosa pine, native grasses, and seasonal wildflowers contributing to the visual character. Predator Ridge operates as a resort community with lodging, dining facilities, and amenities beyond golf. The property attracts visitors seeking multi-day golf experiences in British Columbia's interior wine country, combining the game with access to the region's recreational and culinary offerings.

Getting there
The journey to Predator Ridge Golf Resort begins at Kelowna International Airport, a forty-minute drive north through the sun-drenched Okanagan Valley - a landscape of vineyard-striped hillsides and glittering lake views that gradually gives way to rolling benchland. The route follows the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake before climbing into the high country above Vernon, where the valley floor opens into expansive vistas of sagebrush and ponderosa pine. As the road winds toward the resort's elevated perch, the transition is unmistakable: the hum of the valley replaced by the quiet expanse of 900 acres carved into the ridgeline, with two championship courses waiting beneath the wide British Columbia sky.
