Golf Guide
May 20, 2026•4 min read

Golfing is a great sport for children, and kids' golf camps can be a fun and effective way to teach the fundamentals of the game to a young enthusiast. Here are a few reasons to consider golf for your youngster this summer:

  • Anyone Can Play – Golf is fun for boys and girls of all shapes and sizes. It’s never too early to start, and unlike many other sports, your kids can enjoy golf for their entire life!

  • Get ’em Outdoors – Golf is the perfect excuse to spend hours enjoying the fresh mountain air, whether playing a round or just hitting balls at the range.

  • Teaches Core Values – The game naturally teaches kids essential values like honesty, patience, and courtesy toward others.

Planning a summer family getaway to Lone Wolf Chalet? If you have junior golfers in tow—or little ones eager to pick up a club for the first time—the Columbia Valley is one of the most welcoming family golf destinations in British Columbia.

While structured, multi-day junior resident camps have shifted over the years, local courses have rolled out incredible family-friendly incentives for the 2026 season. From world-class alpine fairways right in our backyard to dedicated junior courses down the road, here is how to plan the perfect family golf day this summer.

Family Golf at Greywolf Golf Course (Right Next Door!)

Located just minutes from Lone Wolf Chalet, the award-winning Greywolf Golf Course is an absolute bucket-list experience. While it is famous for its jaw-dropping cliffside greens and dramatic elevation changes, it is also a fantastic place to introduce older kids (ages 6 to 17) to mountain golf. You can view full facility highlights on the Panorama Mountain Resort Greywolf Page.

Rather than locking yourself into a rigid camp schedule, you can take advantage of Greywolf’s highly flexible 2026 family promotions detailed on the official Greywolf Golf Course Rates Page:

  • The Ultimate Deal—Kids Play Free After 5:00 PM: Juniors (ages 6–17) play completely FREE after 5:00 PM when paired with a paying adult. This is the perfect, low-pressure way to play a few evening holes together as the sun sets over the Rockies.

  • Standard Junior Rates: If you want to play earlier in the day, the 2026 Junior Green Fee is a flat $120 (any day of the week), which includes full GPS power cart access and complimentary range balls at their world-class practice facility.

  • Important Player Note: For safety on the alpine terrain, the minimum age for junior golfers and riders at Greywolf is 6 years old.

The Best Course for Beginners: The Ridge at Copper Point

If you have younger kids or want a more relaxed, fast-paced family outing, make the short, scenic drive down to Invermere to play The Ridge at Copper Point.

The Ridge is a brilliant par-62 masterclass specifically designed with families in mind, as noted in the Columbia Valley Golf Trail Guide. It features zero intimidating Par-5 holes and offers two dedicated sets of Junior Tees on every single fairway to give younger hitters a fair shot.

  • Incredible Family Promotion: Kids under 16 play FREE all season long at The Ridge when accompanied by a paying adult! You can read more about this program on The Ridge Course Overview.

  • Flexible Day Rates: Junior walk-on rates are just $65 (Mon–Thu) or $75 (Fri–Sun) if hitting the fairways earlier in the day. Complete pricing tiers are available on the Copper Point Golf Rates Page.

More Summer Fun for Kids at Panorama Resort

If your kids want a break from the golf course to hang out with peers their own age, Panorama Mountain Resort runs fantastic general Kids’ Club Day Camps throughout the peak summer months. These single-day or multi-day camps feature mountain waterslides, archery, hiking, and outdoor games, giving you plenty of time to slip away and sneak in a quiet 18 holes at Greywolf!

Tips for Golfing with Kids in the Valley:

  1. Book Ahead: Summer tee times fill up quickly, especially for the popular "Kids Play Free after 5 PM" slots at Greywolf.

  2. Dress Code: While relaxed, both Greywolf and Copper Point require standard golf attire (collared shirts, no denim).

  3. Bring a Camera: The elevation drops at Greywolf make for unforgettable family vacation photos.
