About this course
Built upon the sun-drenched slopes overlooking Okanagan Lake, The Ridge at Predator Ridge isn't just a golf course; it's a canvas etched into the very fabric of the Vernon landscape. This modern layout, sculpted into the rolling hills and Ponderosa pines, presents a strategic test. Wide fairways lull you into a false sense of security, only to tighten around the greens, demanding thoughtful approaches and a deft touch on the undulating surfaces. The prevailing winds sweeping down the valley add another layer of intrigue, rewarding those who can master their trajectory. Designed by Doug Carrick, The Ridge seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings. Carrick routed holes to take full advantage of the elevation changes, incorporating natural rock outcroppings and native grasses into the course's character. The course is more than visually appealing, it's a strategic marvel. The Ridge is known for favoring players who can shape their shots and think their way around the course, rather than simply relying on brute force. While the Ridge is not typically on the national spotlight or championship circuit, it holds a special place for the local community. Members take particular pride in the meticulously maintained conditions and the stunning vistas that greet them from nearly every hole.

Getting there
Predator Ridge Golf Resort sits in the rolling high desert of British Columbia's interior, most readily accessed via Kelowna International Airport (YLW), approximately 45 minutes south by car through the wine country and benchlands that define the Okanagan Valley. The drive north from Kelowna traces Highway 97 before turning into the quieter roads that climb toward Vernon, where the landscape shifts from vineyard-dotted slopes to the sagebrush and ponderosa pine terrain that frames the resort's elevated perch. For those with private aviation, Vernon's regional airfield offers a closer alternative to the valley floor. The final miles wind through the high desert plateau itself, delivering you to Predator Ridge's commanding vantage point overlooking the Okanagan, where the clubhouse and courses command views that stretch across three lakes and distant mountain ridges.
