Canada’s Alpine Golf Escape

Golf at Sun Peaks is an invitation to slow down and settle into the mountain landscape. Fairways wind through forest and open to expansive alpine views, creating a round that feels calm, scenic, and unhurried. Home to BC’s highest-elevation tee box, the course greets you with cooler alpine air and the rewarding extra distance that comes naturally at elevation. A relaxed warm-up awaits at the practice nets near the first tee, letting you ease into your game at your own pace.

When the round is done, Masa’s Bar + Grill becomes the natural gathering place. Golfers, hikers, and riders come together to relax, refuel, and share stories from the day. It’s a welcoming social hub where good food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere bring the village energy to life.

With long summer days and light stretching well into the evening, golf fits effortlessly into your stay. Play a round, linger a little longer, and enjoy the rhythm of a mountain summer that balances activity and relaxation with ease.

Operations Update: Cougar sighting in the Controlled Recreation Area

Posted June 15, 2026

A juvenile cougar has recently been observed in the Mountain Operations area, Slopeside Annex and adjacent ski runs. As a young animal, it is still learning to establish its territory and hunting habits. At this time, it is not exhibiting unusual or aggressive behaviour toward people.

As with all wildlife encounters, staff and visitors are encouraged to remain aware of their surroundings and take appropriate precautions to reduce the potential for negative interactions.

Please notify Patrol/Dispatch of any sightings at 250.578.5521.

Note: Juvenile cougars can sometimes appear more erratic or curious than adult animals because they are still developing hunting skills and learning to navigate their environment. This behaviour alone does not necessarily indicate a problem animal, but it does warrant increased awareness and caution.

Personal safety

  • Be alert when walking, hiking, biking or working outdoors, particularly during dawn, dusk and nighttime hours.
  • Avoid wearing headphones at high volume when travelling through areas with limited visibility.
  • Keep campsites clean and free of food attractants. Store food, garbage, and scented items securely.
  • Travel in groups whenever possible.

If you encounter a cougar:

  • Remain calm and do not run.
  • Maintain eye contact and face the animal.
  • Make yourself appear larger by raising your arms or opening your jacket.
  • Speak firmly and back away slowly.
  • If the cougar approaches, be prepared to defend yourself using sticks, rocks or other available objects.
  • Report the sighting to local authorities if the animal displays bold or concerning behaviour.

Pets and domestic animals

  • Keep dogs on a leash and under control at all times.
  • Avoid walking dogs during dawn, dusk or after dark when cougar activity is more common.
  • Do not allow pets to roam freely outdoors, especially overnight.
  • Pick up small pets when moving through areas with dense vegetation or limited sightlines.
  • Be particularly cautious if a leashed dog becomes agitated, fixated or reluctant to proceed, as animals may detect wildlife before people do.

Reporting wildlife

Most cougar sightings are simply observations of a naturally occurring predator moving through its habitat. However, sightings involving a cougar that:

  • shows no fear of people;
  • follows people or pets;
  • lingers around homes or occupied areas; or
  • displays aggressive behaviour

should be reported to local conservation or wildlife authorities immediately.

By remaining aware and taking simple precautions, we can help ensure the safety of people, pets and wildlife while minimizing unnecessary conflicts.

Please notify Patrol/Dispatch of any sightings at 250.578.5521.

To report potentially dangerous or aggressive wildlife in B.C., call the RAPP hotline at 1.877.952.7277. This 24/7 service connects you directly to the BC Conservation Officer Service to report incidents that may threaten public safety.
