Inspection summary

Gallagher's Canyon Golf Course Clubhouse has been inspected 8 times by Interior Health Authority since April 28, 2014. The most recent inspection, on July 21, 2026, recorded 2 infractions.

2 of 8 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 2 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination, Cleaning and sanitizing and Handwashing and staff hygiene.

Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

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.

  • 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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on July 21, 2026. For example: 5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on May 29, 2025. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents 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 May 29, 2025. For example: 7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on July 30, 2024. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded once on July 30, 2024. For example: 2 Are proper pest control measures in place on the premises?

      • F2.5K Storage of equipment, food contact surfaces and utensils must prevent contamination.
  2. Monitoring

    4 infractions

    • F2.1 Does the facility have proper monitoring supplies?
      • Observation(s): No QUAT sanitizer test strips were observed on-site for measuring food contact surface sanitizer concentration. These test strips are required to ensure appropriate sanitizing levels are maintained. Ensure that QUAT test strips are readily accessible and available to staff at all times. Iodine test strips used for the glasswasher were found to be expired. The operator has been instructed to purchase new, valid test strips and to notify the EHO once this has been completed. Please ensure the expiry date on all test strips is checked regularly to confirm their validity.
    • F2.3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
      • Observation(s): Observed an iodine concentration of 0 ppm when tested on glassware following the iodine glasswasher cycle. A proper final rinse should contain between 12.5 to 25 ppm of iodine in order to achieve the necessary reduction in microbial levels on glassware. The operator reached out to the contractor and the glasswasher was fixed immediately. Subsequent checks confirmed that the final rinse was delivering 12.5 ppm of iodine. Discussed with the operator the importance of using the iodine test strip frequently to verify the final rinse sanitizer concentration. High temperature dishwasher final temperature 75.3C; in compliance.
      • F2.3A Mechanical dishwasher/glasswasher must provide sufficient washing and sanitizing action to remove contamination.

    We spent my son’s 17th birthday golfing the Pinnacle at Gallaghers Canyon. The course was interesting and beautiful. We rented carts and one set of clubs-amazing clubs! Absolutely beautiful to use - the gentlemen helping us were also full of knowledge, super helpful and accommodating as well. They set us up at the driving range before our tee off and made everything enjoyable and seamless! (Terry was the name of the one gentleman signing us in. Sadly didn’t get the name of the other😢) Many golf clubs can be less enjoyable as a newcomer or someone who doesn’t know the club-these gentlemen were fantastic and we really appreciated them-they made the start of our day quite enjoyable and we appreciated their friendliness and accommodation. We will return!

    My wife and I dropped into Gallagher’s Canyon Golf Club while visiting Kelowna from Australia, simply to have a look around. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how beautifully the course is presented. We decided to stay for lunch on the terrace overlooking the first tee. The setting is spectacular, the food and drinks were very good, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. A special mention to Jenna, who looked after us. She was genuinely warm, welcoming and professional, making us feel like valued guests rather than visitors just passing through. I didn’t have my golf clubs with me this trip, but after seeing the course, I’ll definitely be packing them next time. Gallagher’s Canyon is well worth a visit.

    We recently had our wedding at Gallagher's Canyon Golf Club and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding venue. The ceremony site is absolutely stunning with breathtaking views that made for an unforgettable backdrop for both our ceremony and our photos. The reception room is bright, spacious and also has great views of the golf course. Food was fantastic—we had the Carvery Buffet Dinner and our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was! What truly made our day so special, was the incredible staff. From the planning process to the wedding day itself, everyone was professional, friendly, organized, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy every moment. Special shout-out to Ruthanne and Caitlyn for helping us with our rehearsal and day-of coordinating, you ladies are the absolute best and totally exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful to the entire team at Gallagher's Canyon for helping create such an unforgettable day. We would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful location, amazing food, and exceptional service. Thank you for making our wedding everything we dreamed of and more! :)

  • Jenna Pelletier

    We had our wedding at Gallagher’s a few weeks ago and we can’t say enough good things. From the start, Ruthanne was so organized and always had detailed answers to our (many) questions. On the day, her and Kaitlyn were wonderful at keeping things flowing, and the whole staff were just so fabulous. The space was so beautiful and was exactly what we were looking for. Our guests also raved about how good the food was, especially the passed canapés! Overall I highly recommend them as a wedding venue - we aren’t golfers and still chose this venue because of the attention to detail, beauty and overall experience. Thank you for hosting our perfect day!

  • Glen Murray

    Played Gallagher’s Canyon yesterday and had an incredible round. The course was in immaculate shape, and the layout strikes the perfect balance, challenging but fair, good shots are rewarded and missed fairways require a smart recovery. Exceptional staff; every single person we encountered was kind and welcoming. On top of that, the pace of play was perfect, wrapping up a great day on the course in just over 4 hours. I highly recommend it and am already looking forward to playing here again soon!
