St. Eugene Mission Resort is a must-play for anyone coming to the southern BC Rockies.
Built on the grounds of a former mission, hence the name, this course uses a fantastic mix of elevated tees, open fairways, tight fairways, monstrous sand traps, and superb greens to give players of all levels a golfing experience they will want to repeat again and again.
A perfect example of St. Eugene Mission's unique style can be found at her par three, thirteenth hole. At 220 yards from the back tee to a modest 122 from the front tee the hole challenges golfers to hit a well defended green seventy feet below you. Shots that are not on-the-mark will find their way into the evergreen forest that lines the fairway or one of the four white sand traps that envelops the hole. Club selection and the ability to block out the spectacular scenery that surrounds you are all-important at this hole and just about everywhere else at St Eugene Mission.
It is precisely this balance between beauty and challenge that makes St. Eugene so unforgettable and a crucial part of any BC Rockies golf vacation. |
