The PGA of BC is proud to announce Regional Award winners in 11 categories of its 2023 Awards Program and several East Kootenay and area courses are among the winners.

Following a thorough selection process, the Awards Committee has determined Award winners for the Lower Mainland, Interior, Vancouver Island and Kootenays/Northern BC.

Each of the recipients are provincial finalists for this year’s PGA of BC Awards, with winners to be announced later this month. Provincial Award recipients will also be put forward as the Association’s nominee for corresponding PGA of Canada national awards, if eligible.

PGA of BC Members are encouraged to vote for one deserving Regional Award winner in each category; these Member votes will now directly determine the Provincial Award recipients.
