Golf
Golf in Clearwater
One local course, and it shares a road with Canada's fourth-highest waterfall.
Golf in Clearwater: one course, inside the park road
Clearwater has exactly one golf course, and it is not in town -- it is 34 km up the park corridor, where the Wells Gray Golf & RV Resort plays beneath the mountains on the way to Helmcken Falls. Golf here is an add-on to a waterfall day, not a destination in itself, and the page treats it that way.
Your options
Wells Gray Golf & RV Resort
The local course: golf with an RV resort attached, on the park road just before Helmcken Falls Lodge. Play nine on the way up, see the falls on the way down -- a combination no other course in BC offers. Seasonal; confirm opening and tee times directly.
Chinook Cove Golf
The valley's other round: a well-kept course in Barriere, under an hour south on Highway 5. Locals treat the two as a mini-circuit.
Sun Peaks Golf
When the golf is the point of the day, Sun Peaks' alpine course -- among the highest in BC -- is the day trip, paired with the village for lunch. See the day-trips page for the drive.
The honest summary
Golfers basing in Clearwater get a scenic local nine, a second course down the valley and a resort course within day-trip range -- and should still expect the waterfalls to win the itinerary argument, most days, by acclaim.
