Copper Point Golf Club

The Ridge at Copper Point Golf Club sits in the Columbia Valley near Invermere, British Columbia, positioned between the Purcell and Rocky Mountain ranges. The course occupies elevated terrain that provides views across the valley floor and surrounding peaks. Designed by Les Furber and opened in the late 1990s, the layout takes advantage of natural elevation changes and incorporates the region's characteristic mix of forested slopes and open meadowland. The routing moves through varied topography, with several holes playing along ridgelines and others descending into lower terrain. The design emphasizes strategic shot placement rather than overwhelming length, with fairways that reward positioning for approach angles. Bunker complexes and natural hazards frame landing areas, and greens feature moderate undulation that requires attention to pin placement. The property's natural contours create holes with distinct character, including elevated tees that showcase the valley setting and approach shots that play uphill or across slopes. Water comes into play on select holes, typically in the form of ponds or creeks that define hazard lines. Copper Point serves both resort visitors to the Columbia Valley and local members, operating as part of the region's golf tourism infrastructure. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that accommodates the mix of traveling golfers and regular play. The course remains accessible from late spring through early fall, with conditions influenced by the valley's mountain climate and seasonal weather patterns.
