Long before anybody was haggling over strokes on the tee, Revelstoke Golf Club was an equestrian track.

If you showed somebody a photograph of each hole on the championship course at Bootleg Gap Golf in British Columbia's East Kootenays region, they might not believe all 18 share the same scorecard. Some of the fairways are surrounded by fescue grass that sways in the wind. Others are bordered by towering pine trees that don't sway for anything. Some trace the banks of a river. Bootleg Gap offers a little taste of everything, and the result is a 7,157-yard track that's become a popular hangout for locals and is also frequented by value-seeking out-of-towners.

With towering pine trees separating most of the holes at Golden Golf Club, you'll seldom see another group. That doesn't necessarily mean you'll have the course all to yourself.
