Penticton isn’t just a place to shoot a round of golf, but rather it should be noted as a major golf destination. With over a dozen courses to choose from, the dry Southern climate makes Penticton an idyllic golf location. In fact, the temperate weather allows Penticton to boast the only golf course in the Okanagan that stays open all year round! Penticton golf courses offer something for every skill level of golfer from a nice variety of terrain to beginner and more advanced course design. Coupled with the natural beauty of lake and mountain views, you’re guaranteed to have a great day on the links when you come to golf in sunny Penticton, BC.

 

Team Thompson Real Estate Group recommends the website below for finding Penticton Golf Courses:

When you play the Penticton Golf and Country Club course, you are playing through a bit of BC’s golf history. The origins of the club go back to a 9 hole course that shared a fairway with a racetrack, located in the area near the intersection of Railway Avenue and Power Street. This course was entirely built by enthusiastic volunteers and maintained by the players.

If the Okanagan is a wine destination then Penticton should be formally labeled as ground zero. Centrally located to the smaller wine communities, Penticton is no more than 20 minutes to over 40 local wineries. Whether you’re looking for some hidden gems, or you want to search for an award winning bottle to add to your collection there is no arguing that Penticton has both. The Okanagan is world renowned in the eyes of oenophiles and no longer struggles to prove itself – it’s also no longer a secret and tourism is always on the rise with sun seekers and wine tasters flocking to our city to see what the buzz is all about. Along with the curious wine tourists, come the determined wine makers and hobbyist grape growers. Penticton is the perfect place to set up shop for both and wine centric real estate is a hot new vertical we’ve seen explode in recent years. If wine is your passion and you want to make it a part of your real estate plan, then speaking to a member of the knowledgeable Team Thompson Real Estate Group is a must.

With wineries at every bend in the road, there’s no shortage of touring and tasting to be had. Penticton and the area have made a significant mark on the world as must-travel-to wine destinations. We’re very lucky to call this home.

Penticton is gifted with a long list of recreational opportunities that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Our city’s beautiful landscape lays down the foundation for enjoying premium outdoor activities to keep you entertained and energized.

 

From the summer to the winter, you can never run out of things to do in Penticton. Whether you’re interested in joining a sports team, learning a new outdoor activity, or taking music or art lessons, the City of Penticton’s Recreation Department offers a variety of opportunities to help stimulate you and connect with other locals.

 

The Penticton Community Centre provides both adults and children access to excellent facilities, including a 10-lane lap pool, leisure pool & waterslide, fitness room, gymnasium, dance studio, and theatre. This state-of-the-art building received a 23.3 million dollar renovation in 2011. This renovation not only expanded the facility, but helped it meet higher energy efficiency standards with the goal of the BC Climate Action Charter in mind.

 

For the more outdoorsy types, there is an endless list of summer activities you can explore in Penticton, including biking, hiking, camping, swimming, kayaking, wakeboarding, and waterskiing. When the winter hits, Apex Mountain resort is a short 30-minute drive from the city, and offers skiers and snowboarders quality snow and great conditions throughout the season. Regardless of your hobbies, there is something to do for everyone in this picturesque city.

The Penticton waterfront is part of the natural beauty of our city that makes people never want to leave. It’s postcard perfect year round and our big, beautiful lakes (we have two!) offer up something for everyone!

 

The magic of Penticton will capture your heart from the first moment you set your eyes on the majestic lakefront that surrounds the community. Penticton’s lakefront is ripe with a mix of breathtaking private and public beaches offering up serene summer moments. A drive along either lakeshore will find an assortment of homes from cozy cabins to spectacular estates. Team Thompson Real Estate Group offers advice and information on many of these spectacular retreats including details on where to find the best sandy beaches, private piers, and buoy access.

 

People come to Penticton for swimming, boating, wind and kite surfing and more recently to stand up paddle board on the calm waters of either lake surrounding the city. A man-made channel connects the two lakes via the Okanagan River. In summer, this narrow waterway plays host to a lively ongoing party as water loving kids and families ride with the mild current on tubes, and air mattresses.

 

The dry temperate climate of Penticton makes it easy to enjoy the waters that surround the city well beyond the end of a typical calendar summer. This is just one of the many reasons people flock to lake side real estate in Penticton.
