If you love playing golf, then you may want to consider living where you play. Kelowna is blessed with one of the longest golf seasons in Canada and as a result, many local courses were designed with a supporting Real Estate component.
Quail Ridge, Gallaghers Canyon, Sunset Ranch, Two Eagles, Predator Ridge and even the Kelowna Golf and Country Club have Real Estate options almost directly beside the clubhouses. You can walk to your favorite pastime.
So what are some benefits besides the obvious?
1. Peace and Quiet
Golf courses by their very nature are known for being quiet places. Very little traffic is normal and typically due to their relatively small size there is very little of the hustle and bustle found in central locations. Remember, golf courses are closed at night and for several months of the year.
2. Amenities
The golf course communities in the Kelowna area typically have resort-style amenities at their resident's fingertips. Gallaghers Canyon in southeast Kelowna, for example, has a swimming pool, fitness center, and craft room. All have restaurants, practice facilities, and walking paths, making for a convenient lifestyle full of entertainment.
3. Entertainment
Along with the amenities comes entertainment. All major Kelowna Golf Courses have at least one restaurant and bar or lounge area. These clubhouses usually host events often that celebrate various holidays as well as fun game nights or live music. This makes it easy to get to know your neighbors and make friends. All the majors in Kelowna have celebrated chefs with amazing menus and Okanagan wine lists.
4. Breathtaking Views
Golf course communities typically have incredible views. I often say living on a golf course is like having the biggest yard imaginable that someone else maintains! Sunset Ranch, located just above YLW, has amazing lake, mountain, and valley views. While the KGCC is almost in the center of town, it boasts stunning views of Dilworth Mountain and direct access to all that Kelowna Downtown has to offer by a quick bike ride.

5. Solid Investment
Anytime you are investing in your next home, you want to know that you will have high resale value. Homes on golf courses are in small communities with high standards and this makes them extremely desirable to homebuyers. They tend to hold their value. The Watson Brothers Team has sold more Real Estate surrounding the Okanagan Golf Course than any other Realtors in Kelowna.
Calling All Golf Lovers (and Non-Golfers Too!)
If you think golf course living is for you and you like the idea of playing where you live, don't hesitate to reach out! Fun fact, typically, 50% of golf course community residents don't consider themselves golfers – they just love living in an active community.
