A delightfully challenging course among majestic scenery
Winding through the forested highlands above Cranbrook, Wildstone Golf Course is blessed with remarkable views from every tee, fairway and green. The Black Knight course was conjured by Player Design, whose attention to detail shines from the subtle shaping, manicured greens and snow-white bunkers. Spend a day here and you’ll be challenged with an impressive variety of shots, where skill and strategy are required in equal measure. And at every turn the mountains of southern British Columbia frame your view, reminding you why this is considered one of the most beautiful regions on Earth.
