The championship par 72 course plays longer than the 6609 yards that the scorecard states. Towering lombardi poplars and mature weeping willows have stood guard over the beautiful parkland setting and witnessed many progressive changes over the years.
The Vernon Golf and Country Club has been an integral part of the City of Vernon for over a century. It was first located in the BX in 1913, then moved to an East Hill location in 1920, only to move in 1922 to its present location. It temporarily moved to another location on the Commonage, but returned a short time later. The course was expanded to 18 holes under the direction of Mr. Ernie Brown from Vancouver and the greens were shaped by Dan Kitsul. The Vernon Golf & Country Club was operated as a company from 1913 to the 1960's, complete with shareholders and a Board of Directors.
