Director of Golf: Radium Golf Group/Eaglequest Golf Inc.
The Radium Golf Group owns and operates two 18-hole courses in beautiful Radium Hot Springs, British Columbia. Radium Hot Springs is uniquely located on the edge of one of Canada’s most natural Rocky Mountain National Parks (Kootenay National Park) and overlooks the beautiful headwaters of the Columbia River. In every direction – lakes, rivers and wetlands fill the valley bottom, creating a diverse and rich landscape for wildlife and tranquil adventures. When the day is done, there’s no better place to recount the memories than in the naturally hot and rejuvenating waters of the Radium Hot Springs Mineral Pools.
The Springs Course:
Breathtaking scenery. World-class Les Furber course design. Exceptional service. The Springs has earned its reputation as one of Canada’s premier golf destinations and offers championship level golf with a great driving range and practice facility. The course sits just above the Columbia River wetlands with views of the Purcell Mountains to the west and the Rocky Mountains to the east. The course is home to approximately 140 Bighorn Sheep that roam the fairways. The clubhouse has gone through an extensive renovation recently and is set right against the bluffs with stunning views from the full-service patio and restaurant.
The Radium Course:
A Columbia Valley Favorite since 1957, the Radium course is perched high over the Village of Radium Hot Springs in the rugged terrain bordering Kootenay National Park. The course features tight, tree-lined fairways, undulating greens and dramatic elevation changes sure to test players of all abilities. The 35,000 square foot clubhouse and property is going through an extensive remodel with an addition of a new hotel adjacent to the golf course due to open in 2025.
