Experience Canada’s Shoulder-Season Golf Destination
While most of Canada is blanketed in snow, Osoyoos beckons with the allure of green fairways and serene golfing weather. Nestled in the heart of British Columbia’s desert, Osoyoos is a haven for golf enthusiasts seeking an early start or late end to their season. Depending on the weather, golf courses close as late as November and re-open most years in February. With a climate that’s conducive to nearly year-round play, Osoyoos golf courses offer a respite from the winter chill, making it the perfect shoulder-season golf destination.
Canadians have a handful of golf courses available for winter golf and British Columbia boasts Canada’s only year-round golf destinations. Except for the occasional cold or snow days, golf courses in Vancouver and on Vancouver Island are available for play all year round.
