The Okanagan Valley’s golf courses are more than recreational escapes – they’re vibrant hubs where business ideas take flight amid stunning scenery. For Monument Mortgages, based in Vernon, BC, and powered by Mortgage Architects, this theme of “Business on the Golf Course” resonates deeply.

Treating this as a golfing tourist guide, let’s journey through courses within two hours of Vernon, describing their allure, local hotspots, and the magical experiences that make them ideal for forging connections that benefit your professional life.

The Allure of Vernon’s Golfing Gems

Begin your tour in Vernon, where courses blend accessibility with natural splendor.

Spallumcheen Golf & Country Club, Daryl Eyjolfson’s home course, enchants with its 27 holes set against a backdrop of verdant hills and distant peaks. The wonders lie in the peaceful play, where birdsong accompanies your swing, and the course’s variety suits beginners to pros. Hotspots like the dining area buzz with locals, turning a simple lunch into a networking session on topics like spec builds or private lending.

Predator Ridge Golf Resort dazzles with championship designs that incorporate the region’s rugged terrain. Teeing off amid wildflowers and lake glimpses creates an immersive wonder, while the resort’s upscale amenities, including spa facilities, extend the experience. The grill area is a hotspot for post-game strategy talks, perhaps on commercial mortgages.

At The Rise Golf Course, the elevated position offers sweeping views that feel otherworldly, with holes that challenge and reward. The sense of elevation – both literal and metaphorical – inspires big-picture thinking, and the patios serve as hotspots for connecting with developers eyeing Okanagan projects.

Vernon Golf & Country Club’s timeless appeal comes from its established layout, where mature forests frame each hole. The historic clubhouse is a hotspot for seasoned professionals, fostering discussions on renewals or reverse mortgages in a trusting environment.

Hillview Golf Course provides a compact yet delightful executive experience, with quick rounds leaving time for exploration. Its range is a casual hotspot, perfect for meeting newcomers and chatting about first-time buyer options.
