Head Golf Professional: Lake Point Golf & Country Club

About Lakepoint:

For 65 years, Lake Point Golf & Country Club has been northern BC’s premiere golf facility. From its majestic location along the shores of Charlie Lake, rising up to overlook the lake and opposing cliff wall, to its immaculately manicured greens, and quintessential Stanley Thompson-esque design, Lake Point unique amongst many courses, even in much larger centers.

Lake Point Golf and Country Club was established in 1958 as a 9-hole layout. In 1974 we hired Norman Woods, an apprentice of Stanley Thompson, to design our second nine, and redesign the existing one. He has left us a memorable and formidable challenge. With a tree lined layout, many holes frame the surrounding scenery leaving all that play an unforgettable impression. Lake Point also offers a driving range, practice green, full-service Clubhouse & Restaurant, and a fully stocked Pro Shop that carries all major golf lines, as well as our recent addition of lululemon.
