Golden Golf Club – Golden’s golf season is off to an early start this year, with the driving range and mini-golf course opening on Tuesday, March 25—one of the earliest openings in nearly a decade. Golfers can look forward to hitting the fairways soon, as the 18-hole course is set to open on Friday, April 11.
“The Golden Golf Club team is excited for our early start and the chance for even more golf this season,” says Graeme Kreiner, Director of Operations. “We will remain a busy facility, but there will be plenty of opportunities for everyone to get out and enjoy our small-town club with big-time golf.”
A Look Back at a Milestone Year
Last season was one for the books at Golden Golf Club. For the first time in 20+ years, total rounds played surpassed 30,000, with more than 15,000 of those played by non-members, primarily out-of-town visitors. The club successfully hosted the BC Golf Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship, showcasing the course at its finest.
All club tournaments—including the Men’s Open, Ladies’ Open, Senior Open, Two Person, and Final Day Bonanza—saw increased participation compared to 2023. The course remained in excellent condition throughout the season, and the RV Park continued to see rising nightly visits, reinforcing the club’s growing reputation as a premier golf destination.
Exciting Events and Improvements
The club anticipates another busy season, with tournaments already generating high interest. The ever-popular Two Person Classic is sold out, and golfers interested in competing in the Men’s, Ladies’, and Senior Open tournaments are encouraged to sign up soon to secure a spot. Young golfers will also have something to look forward to as the Junior Open returns on May 4.
This season, all golfers on the daily tee sheet will receive a free warm-up bucket, and a new path is under construction to improve access to the driving range. Additionally, with the departure of Brent Firminger, the club has adjusted its PGA of Canada Professionals’ schedules, allowing for more available teaching time than in previous years.
With an early start, exciting events, and course improvements on the way, the 2025 season at Golden Golf Club is shaping up to be another fantastic year for golf enthusiasts.
