It seems to be a fact of life
that golf courses have a habit of evolving around established vacation
destinations. The world-renowned Alaska Highway brings thousands of
visitors to our region every year. As with all golf hot spots, success
in the region’s numerous golf courses lies in our natural assets;
rolling hills, meandering rivers and virgin forests. Dawson Creek and
the surrounding area have some amazing opportunities for the golfing
enthusiast.
 For a shorter course (6316 yards from back tees), the Dawson Creek
Golf and Country Club has many demanding tee shots and is a risk-for-reward
golf course with at least three drivable par-4’s. Great golfers
love it. Some say it has the toughest par-3 in the Peace Region. How
many 240-yard par-3’s have you played? 2003 saw this local 18-hole
golf course host the BC Golf Association Provincial Junior Championships.
One hundred and sixty athletes from the province competed, trying to
qualify for a spot on the BC and Canadian Junior
Golf teams.
One of your first golfing stops along the Alaska Highway is Farmington
Fairways. This 12-hole course features an Island Green as their signature hole. The course is always well maintained
and you are almost certainly assured of viewing wildlife. This is a very
challenging course with tree-lined fairways, water hazards and wildlife
obstacles! An excellent spot for a weekend of golfing; the on-site
campground provides a tranquil setting amongst the rolling hills of
the Peace Valley.
