Spectacular views part of the golf experience at Golden
The Golden Golf and Country Club in British Columbia has been considered a "hidden gem" by many golfers familiar with this area.

But, overall, the nines blend together exceptionally well, staff writer Andrew Penner reports, and a first-time visitor would likely never guess that it was two different architects.
