Well-regarded ranker Golf Digest has picked five courses in our province as being among Canada's best.
The newish Cabot Cliffs kept its #1 nationwide ranking while Capilano GC in West Vancouver earned a #5 ranking up two spots from last year. It was the only BC course to crack the top ten. Shaughnessy came 11th, Tobiano 15th, and Victoria GC 18th. The big news was Big Sky who cracked the list for the first time at #29.
The list is determined by Golf Digest’s 100 Greatest panelists, which consists of about 1,700 well-traveled amateur golfers across the United States and Canada. Golf Digest’s panelists score courses on the following criteria: Shot Options, Challenge, Layout Variety, Distinctiveness, Aesthetics, Conditioning, and Character.
