Hollyburn Country Club

Proceed up highway 5 past Hope to Merritt. When you arrive in Merritt you will turn right on highway 97C which will take your through West Kelowna, into Kelowna and finally to highway 33. From here you’re only 45 minutes away from a holiday full of Winter Wonderland memories!

• The drive will take you through a few mountain peaks that will require snow tires. Winter tires are required on all mountain passes in BC from October 1 to March 31. Drive BC is the best information source for winter driving regulations and route information, it also has a great interactive APP enabling you to check road conditions, maps and directions along the way.
• We recommend driving during daylight to soak up the brilliant scenery along the way.
• Don’t forget to stop for snacks! But if you feel like a quick meal, Whatcom Rd. in Abbotsford has a great selection of take-out restaurants. Stop for breakfast at Cookie’s Grill in Chilliwack, or get your comfort food fix at HOME restaurant in Hope.
• Between Hope and West Kelowna there aren’t many pit stops along the way, but if you do need to stop for a rest or bathroom break there is the Loon Lake rest area, 42.6km south of Merritt. This rest stop is modernly equipped with FREE wi-fi, auto-flush toilets and a car re-charge station.

• Once you reach West Kelowna, you are only about an hour and fifteen minutes away from Big White! You might find this a good place to stock supplies as it is often less busy than some of the stops in Kelowna.
• There are three grocery stores in West Kelowna- Superstore, Save on Foods, and Natures Fare (organic), all of which are conveniently located just off the highway.
• If you are shopping for wine, liquor or spirits, we recommended stopping at Cask & Barrel which offers a wide variety of local and international wine and liquor labels as well as your standard favourites.
• If you are a COSTCO member, there is a location in Kelowna. You will find it on the way to Big White at the corner of Highway 97 and 33. More details here >>
• West Kelowna is also home to a London Drugs and Rexall if you are in need of a pharmacy.
• For the ultimate experience and convenience, get all your groceries pre-delivered and stored in your accommodation ready for you when you arrive. This will leave you more time in your private hot tub and time for the kids to build their first snow man right outside their front door!

Before you leave Kelowna to drive up the mountain, please ensure that you fill up with gas as there are no gas stations located on the mountain.

• Once you arrive Big White, follow the directional signs to Big White Central Reservations, located in the Centre of the Village on the lower level of the Village Centre Mall (the building with the Clocktower). Here our staff will walk you through your check-in an escort you to your accommodation.
• If you have booked a private cabin or a Sundance Lodge, proceed directly to your accommodation as they have their own check in facilities.
• Bellman Service is available at all locations on request. Further information can be found here >>

This year, we’ve installed TELUS PureFibre – throughout our resort accommodation, the Village and at our day lodges. What does this mean for Hollyburn members visiting Big White? Consistent video conferencing; smooth online learning; and – a staple – seamless Netflix-ing!
