Located just east of Castlegar on Highway 3, Little Bear Golf Course is a great place for the whole family to play. Though there are only nine greens, the course has 18 distinct tee-offs to offer a full day of golfing. The change in alignment and perspective gives the back nine an entirely different feel from the front nine.

The signature hole on the course is No. 10, where the tee box sits directly above the pond and overlooks a bear-shaped black sand trap on the left side.

Recently added to the course is Mulligan’s Restaurant, which just completed its first year of operation with rave reviews.

With low green fees, environmental friendliness and beautiful scenery, this is definitely a place to check out.
