Golden Golf Club
The Golden Golf Club has a long history of committed community involvement that dates all the way back to June of 1935. This is when the golf club was first formed. In 1942 the club opened its first 5-hole golf course south of town near Reflection Lake. The Golden Golf Club was incorporated as a non-profit society in 1962 and continues under this designation today. Golfers were forced to travel through Roger's Pass to the Revelstoke Golf Club for official tournament rounds. During the 1970s attempts were made to develop a different golf club. This development failed due to a lack of funds.
A strong desire for a local golf course grew within the community and a large fundraising effort was underway. Perhaps the most famous fundraiser was on September 29, 1984. 'The Longest Hole' was played the distance from Parson to Golden. This fundraiser claimed a Guinness Book World Record for the longest golf hole ever played. Roger Ross, Mike Ross, Lil Dewar, and Muzzy Grecco played the 20.25-mile hole in 271 strokes.
The course will play approximately 6400-6500 for the Men's Mid-Amateur..
