Golfing at Predator Ridge has always been a highlight for us, but recently we finally experienced the Ridge Course — and it absolutely exceeded expectations. With its stunning landscape and serene atmosphere, it offers a completely different vibe from the Predator Course. Though our game wasn’t exactly in top form, the experience was unforgettable, and I’m excited to share more about why this course stands out and why we’ll be coming back again and again.
Why We Chose the Ridge Course
Predator Ridge boasts two golf courses: the Predator Course and the Ridge Course. After hearing such rave reviews about the Ridge, we were eager to try it for ourselves. Located just 40 minutes from Kelowna in the beautiful community of Lake Country, the Ridge Course is known for its elevated tee boxes, sweeping views, and relaxed layout. Even though we weren’t at the top of our game, the course made us feel like pros. With stunning elevated vistas and forgiving fairways, the Ridge Course might even make you feel like your ball is flying farther than usual.
The Predator Ridge Experience
Predator Ridge isn’t just about golf. Nestled near Sparkling Hill Resort & Spa, this community offers so much more — from scenic hiking trails to cycling routes, all surrounded by the breathtaking Okanagan landscape. During a past triathlon training camp, I remember cycling through this area, and the views always stuck with me. On future visits, we plan to explore more, but for now, the golf keeps drawing us back.
One standout feature for any golf enthusiast is their excellent practice facilities. Predator Ridge offers real grass instead of artificial turf, giving a much more authentic experience. We spent some time warming up on the range before heading to our tee time, enjoying that pre-game moment of zen.
Highlights of the Ridge Course
The Ridge Course didn’t disappoint from the very first hole. The elevated tee boxes give every shot an exhilarating boost, and even on days when you aren’t playing your best, the course’s beauty makes it all worth it. We couldn’t help but joke that compared to the Ridge Course, the Predator Course felt like a pitch-and-putt — the views and wide fairways were that stunning.
While challenging enough to keep things interesting, the Ridge Course is relatively easy to navigate. The scenic layout and relaxed atmosphere offer a less intense, more enjoyable game — perfect for a leisurely round or a casual golf getaway. We’ll definitely be returning to explore the Ridge Course more, now that we’ve had a taste of what it offers.
Future Plans for Predator Ridge
In addition to the golf, we plan to make a trip to Sparkling Hill Resort & Spa part of our next visit. Cycling through these scenic hills, with the resort in view, planted the seed long ago. Predator Ridge and the surrounding area are the perfect setting for combining wellness, luxury, and a love for the outdoors.
Final Thoughts
Even though we didn’t have our best day on the course, golfing the Ridge Course at Predator Ridge was an experience that we’ll remember for a long time. The natural beauty of the area, the top-tier facilities, and the unforgettable views all come together to make this a must-play course. Whether you’re an avid golfer or just looking for a scenic escape, Predator Ridge is the perfect destination. We can’t wait to get back and play another round!
