Play Golf Canada

Featured Course: **Shuswap National** ⛳

In a newly published Inside Golf feature, senior writer Gord Montgomery highlights how former PGA TOUR player Dave Barr brought a touch of European-style golf to B.C. at Shuswap National, just outside Salmon Arm.

Think towering forest, mountain views, fescue-lined fairways, Scottish-style pot bunkers, and strategic runway approaches that reward thoughtful shot-making. From more than 7,000 yards at the tips to welcoming tee options for every skill level, this is a course designed to be both memorable and playable.

Don’t miss the dramatic elevated par-3 3rd, where water protects the green — or the full driving range, putting green, and chipping area before your round.
