British Columbia, Canada

Kelowna, British Columbia

British Columbia's golf-and-wine paradise. The Okanagan Valley wraps world-class public golf around Okanagan Lake and the only desert in Canada — sun-baked fairways, vineyard views, and mountain backdrops. Base yourself in Kelowna, the valley's lakefront hub, and pair marquee tracks like Predator Ridge, Tower Ranch, and Gallagher's Canyon with 100+ wineries, lake beaches, and patio dinners. Think Canadian Napa with a top-25 golf resort attached — and for US and European travelers, the exchange rate makes it a genuine value.

Best time to visit: May – October (hot, dry desert summers; peak June–September)
