Visitors to the Centennial Golf Course are surprised to learn that set amongst the trees and lush foliage is an eighteen hole golf course. Always lush and vibrant, this wonderfully scenic north coast course is admired for its natural beauty, high level of conditioning and strategic challenge. Mother Nature was very kind to the golfers of the Northwest, bestowing on them her beauty, evident on our Course as well as the surrounding area. It would be uncommon to experience a round of golf in Prince Rupert without a wildlife sighting. Deer are common companions around the Course, while Marmots and Squirrels peek out from their burrows and trees. Situated at the base of Mount Hays which is home to hundreds of Bald Eagles, the Course is spectacular and challenging. The fine conditioning of it just enhances this natural experience. The challenge is abundant is a variety of ways. Though the course is not long by modern standards, the original 1967 design has stood the test of time. Each hole enjoys a terrain of its own, separated from the rest of the course by trees and bush. The smaller greens are heavily contoured and slick in nature. They demand strategic placement of approach shots. These well manicured greens have gained the reputation for being the best in the Northwest. The tree and creek lined fairways require similar respect from the tee box. Creeks crossing fairways and fronting greens on six holes require decisions regarding strategic lay up vs heroic carry overs to these natural hazards. Though famous for our abundant rainfall, peak golf season (May to Sept.) has more than its share of excellent, comfortable golfing weather. Being situated in the North we enjoy long hours of daylight in the summer months which enables golfers to book tee times late into the day. Visitors are always welcome and made to feel at home by our long time CPGA Professional Moe Hays. You will find at the Golf Course the same friendly people that our City of Rainbows is famous for.
