Back in 1988 Lyall and Verna Brown decided to build a golf course transforming the land they owned into what would become one of the most fascinating, unique golf courses in British Columbia. They bought the large property from the Gibbson Brothers back in the 1970’s and learned that this property had a rich history of gold panning. The reason for purchasing such a vast piece of land was for Lyall’s love of flying; his dream was to have his own private landing strip. Throughout the years there have been many airplanes land on the strip that both Lyall and Verna cleared weekend after weekend with a picnic basket in hand and thermoses of water. He sold his first plane, the Piper, and purchased the 206 amphibious plane and had the hanger built which is now the Pagoda Building. After the amphibious was sold and the landing strip was no longer necessary, Larry, their son, said “Dad this would make a great golf course”.

The golf course was a leisurely project developing over the past 22 years and has built up a family momentum that has made an impression on the result of the golf course. Over the years the family has developed Pagoda Style architecture including a replica of the Great Wall of China and an authentic Chinese fighting ship that is set into a pond between the 9^th and 18^th hole. The golf course became a full on project when Lyall and Verna retired in 2008 from the sawmill business that they owned and operated for forty-six years.

The finished product of the golf course will be unveiled at the grand opening taking place in the summer of 2012.
