We are also a not- for- profit society, and an important part of the history of Riondel.

We are open for another great season of golf- our 61st season The weather is cooperating, and the clubhouse is open Thursday through Sunday 10-4 for April and May. We have great new golf clothes to add some style to your round!

When the clubhouse is closed, you can still use the Honour Box, or e transfer to golfriondel@bluebell.ca and golf for just $20 (Twilight) . Welcome to the friendliest golf course in the Kootenays, possibly anywhere !

Congratulations to Jackie Gracci, the winner of the Nelson Kooteney Lake Tourism draw. She has won a night’s stay at Boccalino Restaurant, Motel and Cabins and 2 – 18 hole rounds of golf with cart at Riondel Golf Club.

Welcome to the 2021 golf season. We are excited to announce that this is our 60^th Anniversary. To help us celebrate, we would ask anyone who may have photos of the early days of the golf course to please share with us and we will post them on our website. 

The golf course officially opens on April 15. We would like to thank all the of patrons who used the honor box. Every little bit helps toward the installation of a new watering system. With the costs of everything on the rise, we have had to raise our rates this year. Our new rates for the 2021 year are attached. You may pay by cheque, e-transfer to golfriondel@bluebell.ca , cash, debit or credit card. For now, the clubhouse will be open Thursday—Sunday 10:00-4:00.
