Kemano sits in one of the most remote corners of British Columbia — a company town carved into the Coast Mountains along the Douglas Channel, built entirely by Alcan in the early 1950s to house workers for its massive hydroelectric and aluminum smelting operation. Access has historically been by floatplane or boat only; there are no roads connecting Kemano to the outside world. That context alone makes a golf course here one of the more unlikely finds in Canadian golf.
A course in Kemano would have been built for and by the community of workers and their families who lived there, a private retreat in the truest sense — not exclusive by prestige, but by sheer geography. The surrounding landscape is dramatic and unforgiving: steep coastal mountain terrain, heavy rainfall, dense conifer forest, and the kind of wilderness that keeps the rest of the world at a considerable distance.
Without reliable records on this specific layout, what can be said with confidence is that playing golf here would be an experience defined entirely by its setting — remote, self-contained, and unlike anywhere else in the country.
