Head Golf Professional : Predator Ridge Resort

Predator Ridge Resort is one of Canada’s premier golf destinations, anchored by a fast-paced, high-performance golf operation built around 36 holes of championship golf in the Okanagan Valley.

The Predator Course was originally designed by legendary golf architect Les Furber and is known for its links-style routing through rolling terrain with strategic bunkering and challenging greens — a layout that has hosted high-profile events like the Telus Skins Game.

The Ridge Course was designed by renowned architect Doug Carrick, taking full advantage of the site’s dramatic elevation changes and panoramic Okanagan views, blending strategic challenges with playability for a wide range of golfers. Golf operations are highly structured and efficiency-driven, with strong tee-time management, a comprehensive practice and academy facility, and service standards designed to handle high daily volume without sacrificing quality.

Complementing the resort experience is an exclusive, high-end membership that enjoys priority access, premium playing conditions, and a club-centric culture rooted in excellence, competition, and community, positioning Predator Ridge as a destination where elite golf, operational discipline, and a private‑club caliber membership experience coexist seamlessly.
