Black Mountain Golf Club

Overview: Set in Kelowna’s Okanagan Valley, Black Mountain Golf Club presents an 18-hole, par-71 test across mountainside ground. The current club record lists roughly 6,400 yards and describes a mountainside setting with cliff-side holes, native landscape and a distinctive island green. Elevation and exposed ground make the course visually different from a flat city parkland layout, while four tee boxes allow the same routing to be approached at several scales. The club’s current public material does not name an architect with enough certainty for this profile, so that field remains blank.

History: Black Mountain has developed as part of Kelowna’s golf and residential landscape, with the current course operating as an 18-hole public facility. The club’s own history highlights its 2018 PGA of British Columbia Golf Facility of the Year recognition and its commitment to maintaining consistent conditions across the season. That record supports the course identity and specifications, but not a definitive opening year. The profile therefore avoids attaching an unsupported date to a modern Okanagan course.

Did You Know? Black Mountain’s island hole is one of the course’s clearest routing signatures. It sits within a layout where the natural mountainside setting does much of the visual work, so the short hole becomes a precise test of carry and distance control rather than just another water feature. The Okanagan’s dry interior climate also helps explain the course’s firm, open visual character.
