Can I Host a Tournament or Golf Outing at Summerland Golf & Country Club?

Updated

Yes. Summerland Golf & Country Club is a semi-private club that welcomes public and tournament play, and its own materials specifically name "an organizer planning a golf outing or tournament" as one of the groups it serves. To arrange one, call the club at 250-494-9554 Ext. 1 — the same number it lists for booking a tee time.

Who the club says it's for

The club describes three audiences it intends to serve:

  • Casual golfers looking for a place to play
  • Organizers planning a golf outing or tournament
  • Avid golfers looking for a club to join

If you fall into the second group, the club's stated positioning already covers you. It is member-owned but operates as a semi-private facility, which is what allows outside and group play alongside member access.

What the setting offers your group

The course sits on Paradise Flats, about 8 minutes from Highway 97, southwest of the Summerland townsite. The club describes the location as quiet and free from urban noise, with views of the Okanagan Valley and Trout Creek Canyon — worth knowing if part of your event's appeal is the scenery rather than just the round.

The club also notes that upgrades to the facility happen annually, so conditions and amenities may differ from what you remember or from older reviews.

How to start arranging your event

  1. Call 250-494-9554 Ext. 1. This is the number the club publishes for tee times; it's the entry point for play-related inquiries, including group and tournament bookings.
  2. Describe your event. Tell them the date, expected number of players, and whether you need the course for a shotgun start, a block of tee times, or a full-day outing.
  3. Ask what the club needs from you. Pricing, deposit terms, food and beverage arrangements, and cancellation policies are not published on the pages reviewed here, so confirm them directly rather than assuming.

For membership-related questions — relevant if your outing is tied to a corporate membership or you're comparing member vs. public rates — the club lists a separate line: 250-494-9554 Ext. 3.

What isn't confirmed here

The club's published material does not state tournament pricing, minimum player counts, deposit requirements, catering options, or how far in advance you need to book. Treat any of those as open questions to settle on the call. The absence of published pricing does not mean an event is free or that no deposit applies.

A practical note

Because the club is member-owned and semi-private, member play and outside events share the same course. If your date is flexible, ask what days or windows work best for a group of your size — that's a more useful question than asking whether tournaments are allowed at all, since the club already says they are.
