The Bear is Jack Nicklaus's take on Okanagan golf: a par-72 course stretching to 6,852 yards through ponderosa pine forest, with wider, more receptive fairways than its sister course next door. It's the longer of The Okanagan Golf Club's two 18s but the more forgiving one, favouring golfers who want to make a decisive strike from the tee without punishing every miss. As part of this 36-hole, semi-private GolfBC facility, Bear golfers get a strong practice setup: a double-ended grass driving range plus dedicated chipping and putting areas, with GBC Golf Academy instructors available. The Spanish Southwest-style clubhouse houses the golf shop and Table Nineteen restaurant, a solid stop for a post-round meal on the patio. The Quail Course, sharing the property, is the tighter, more demanding option.
