Predator Ridge (Ridge)
Predator Ridge Resort (Ridge course): Two superb and contrasting golf courses await at the impressive Predator Ridge resort. The original links-style Predator layout, was joined in 2010 by an equally impressive and more woodland-style companion. The Doug Carrick designed Ridge course, like its sibling, is immensely natural, scenic and challenging.
Where the Predator thrives in an open, links-style setting, the Ridge weaves through a tighter environment of woodland and rocky outcrops. You'll find greater elevation changes here, with several holes making dramatic use of the naturally undulating terrain.
One of many scenic highlights on this out-and-back layout comes at the turn, where the short par-4 10th plays steeply downhill to a green protected by a "maple-leaf" bunker on one side and a "Bear's paw" on the other. The Ridge's scenic highlights are not however just confined to stylish bunkering.
Although the three opening and closing holes are unobtrusively flanked by residences, the middle two-thirds of the course is characterised by a fabulous interplay of natural woodland, protruding rock formations and spectacular views onto the wide expanse of Lake Okanagan.
In this ruggedly beautiful "high-country" environment, tranquillity and a variety of wildlife are never in short supply. Which of Predator Ridge's two wonderful layouts you prefer will inevitably be a matter of personal preference. Our strong advise is when you are here, play them both, and then play them both again.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Golf season is April thru mid-Oct.
Golf carts compulsory; carts are fitted with GPS.

The Rise
Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
