Yellowhead Grove Golf Club

Prince George sits at the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako rivers in the heart of British Columbia's interior, a working timber city surrounded by boreal forest and defined by a climate that compresses the golf season into a few earnest months. Yellowhead Grove takes its name from the Yellowhead Highway — Highway 16 — the historic corridor that cuts through this part of the province connecting the Rockies to the Pacific coast.

A par 66 signals right away that this is a shorter, shot-maker's layout — likely leaning heavily on par 3s and shorter par 4s where precision off the tee and a sharp short game matter more than raw distance. These kinds of courses often reward a certain honesty about your game, stripping away the comfort of length and asking you to score rather than muscle your way around.

For Prince George golfers, courses like Yellowhead Grove serve as the backbone of local golf culture — accessible, community-rooted, and built for the regulars who squeeze every round they can out of a northern season.
