Inspection summary
Black Mountain Golf Club has been inspected 6 times by Interior Health Authority since July 15, 2015. The most recent inspection, on June 4, 2026, found no infractions.
2 of 6 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 0 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food temperature control, Cleaning and sanitizing and Protecting food from contamination.
The last 2 inspections in a row found no infractions. Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.
What these findings mean
Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.
Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on August 10, 2022. For example:
2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?
Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk
Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.
Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 19, 2018. For example:
3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk
This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 6, 2017. For example:
4 - Are foods handled in a sanitary manner and protected from contamination?
Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk
Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 6, 2017. For example:
5 - Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?
Permits, records and postingLower risk
Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.
Recorded 2 times on July 15, 2015. For example:
17 - Are written food handling procedures (Food Safety Plan) current and available on site?

We host our corporate golf retreat here every year and the Black Mountain team takes such good care of us. Spectacular course, amazing views, and the bartenders make a great Caesar.

We played predator ridge the day before and we were extremely disappointed and wondering if all Kelowna golf was overpriced garbage. It is not. This golf course was excellent. The pro shop staff went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable. It is a nice relaxed environment. The course is absolutely beautiful (Much nicer than predator). And we found it to be better value than tower ranch. If I come back to Kelowna, I would definitely play here. And would recommend that anyone planning on playing predator ridge would get a refund and play here instead. -0.25 stars for no driving range

The course is very nice and was in great condition. As a Swiss tourist, I booked the Tee time by SMS, very easy. There are many animals on the course which is very nice, marmots are fluffy. The restaurant is also very tasty and everybody was kind and helpful, rented club were also in great condition. I could play alone and my wife came with me on the cart. Thank you for this wonderful memory of my first course in Canada.

Been going here off and on for 9 years? This year the service and food has been kicked up a big notch. Service has always been solid but everyone has been a total pro and treated everyone better this year? The regular staff is training new staff with pro service and the culture of Black Mountain. The food and drinks are more seasoned and more care taken. Their daily specials and respecting the locals and regulars have been noticeable. Great to see this hidden gem improve and not decline and just rely on tourists and drunk golfers as lots of kelowna does over time. New menu and prices are exceeding expectations for Kelowna. Will return to being regulars and meet friends and family here. Emilee is always awesome, thx for remembering us and top service, we are sure she is leading the way on the pubs future.

The Black Mountain Golf Course is a fairly new and notable addition to the Kelowna golf scene, showcasing a wonderful design by Graham Cooke & Wayne Carleton. Weaving through a narrow valley, the course presents a thoughtful challenge for golfers of all skill levels. The layout is defined by its strategic use of hazards. Water and a significant number of bunkers come into play on virtually every hole, demanding careful shot placement. While the fairways are generally generous, they are also well-bunkered, forcing players to think strategically off the tee. The greens are on the larger side with gentle undulations that add interest without being overly severe. The course offers a variety of tee boxes, including some elevated ones, to accommodate different playing abilities. Beyond the course itself, Black Mountain features a large, well-appointed clubhouse with a restaurant and patio that provides a fantastic view of the 18th hole. A fully stocked pro shop caters to all equipment needs. However, the practice facility is a significant drawback, consisting of only two small putting greens and basic warm-up nets, which is disappointing for a course of this calibre. Based on our recent round, the course was in excellent condition. Our group, which included a mix of skill levels, found it to be an enjoyable and fair challenge, with everyone finishing their round without too much damage to their egos. The cost is comparable to other high-end courses in the area. While it may not offer an abundance of dramatic, picture-perfect vistas, it remains a thoroughly enjoyable place to play a round of golf. We would absolutely recommend it.
