Par 1 Travel flies golfers from Vancouver to bucket-list courses by private charter. Everything handled. You just bring your game.
Private private charter from Vancouver. 18 holes at a course most golfers dream about. Back before dinner. Just great Canadian golf.
British Columbia has some of the finest public golf courses in North America — dramatic terrain, exceptional conditions, and a fraction of the crowds you'd find at comparable US destinations. Private charter means you're on the first tee faster and fresher than any commercial flight could manage.
Limited spots. Early access for people on the list.
Private private charter from Vancouver to four of BC's finest courses. Same-day return. Your golf dollar stays Canadian.
Same format for each trip — private private charter from YVR, ground transport to the course, 18 holes, same-day return. The course changes. The experience doesn't.
We notify the list before spots go public.
Two championship courses in the heart of the Okanagan. Rolling fescue, panoramic lake views, twice host to the World Skins Game. Vernon, BC — under an hour from Vancouver by private charter.
36 holes in the rolling hills above Okanagan Lake, designed by Les Furber and Doug Carrick. The Ridge Course ranks #8 among all public courses in Canada. The Predator Course hosted the World Skins Game in 2000 and 2008, featuring some of the best players in the world. Okanagan wine country, lake views on every hole, and a resort that makes the whole day feel effortless.
Under the shadow of the Comox Glacier in Courtenay. PGA of BC Facility of the Year 2020. Championship layout with mountain views, 11 lakes, and a legendary West Coast clubhouse — five minutes from Comox airport.
Crown Isle was designed by Graham Cooke in 1992 and has been recognised as one of BC's great golf destinations ever since. 7,025 yards across 871 acres, with the Comox Glacier and Beaufort Mountains as a constant backdrop. Eleven lakes, strategic bunkering, mountain views on every hole. The 48,000 sq ft clubhouse is legendary — it even has a classic car museum. Post-round lunch here is part of the experience.
The #1 public course in BC. Clifftop holes above Kamloops Lake, a canyon tee shot on the 7th that will stay with you, and a Thomas McBroom design that has topped Canadian rankings for over a decade.
Named Canada's Best New Course by Golf Digest in 2008, Tobiano has been topping BC rankings ever since. Thomas McBroom used the natural bluffs above Kamloops Lake to create a layout unlike anything else in Canada. The 7th hole — a tee shot across a vast canyon — is one of the most talked-about holes in Canadian golf. You'll be discussing it the whole flight home.
An award-winning Vancouver Island gem winding through old-growth forest near Campbell River. On BC's celebrated island golf trail — dramatic, wooded, and a completely different experience from the open Okanagan layouts.
Storey Creek sits in Campbell River, one of the most naturally beautiful parts of Vancouver Island. The course winds through old-growth forest with dramatic, tree-lined holes that are completely different from the open Okanagan layouts. Part of the Vancouver Island Golf Trail — one of BC's most celebrated golf routes. This is the trip for golfers who want to experience Vancouver Island's wild, forest-framed golf.
Day trips are the entry point. Once you've tasted it, the weekend trips are where it gets serious. Get on the waitlist — day trip guests get 48-hour early access.

Par 1 Travel ran private charter golf trips from Vancouver. Then it fizzled — not enough follow-up, not enough systems. We're back with all of that fixed, and a lineup of world-class BC courses that have never been more relevant than right now.
Par 1 Travel started with a simple idea: serious Vancouver golfers deserve access to BC's world-class courses without the logistics nightmare of getting there.
We chartered private aircraft, secured tee times at courses like Predator Ridge and Tobiano, and flew small groups from Vancouver to places they'd been dreaming about. It worked. People loved it. And then we let it fizzle. Not enough follow-up. Not enough systems. That's the honest truth.
"We're back because the demand never went away — and because BC golf has never been more relevant than it is right now."
This year we're doing it properly. Four world-class BC courses within an hour of Vancouver by private charter — and more destinations coming as the season develops.
Tobiano — the #1 public course in BC. Predator Ridge — twice host to the World Skins Game. Crown Isle — PGA of BC Facility of the Year. Storey Creek — forest golf on Vancouver Island's celebrated trail. You don't need to leave the country to play courses that will change how you think about golf.
