Our History

The Vernon Golf and Country Club offers a superior golfing experience and has been an integral part of the City of Vernon since its inception in 1913. The club was originally located in the BX before moving to its current site in 1920. In its early years the course was nine holes expanding to a full 18-hole championship course under the watchful eyes of Ernie Brown and Dan Kitsul. The club was initially operated as a company complete with shareholders and a board of directors. In the 1960’s, under the leadership of Frank King, the club was reformed under the Societies act. This changed the ownership of the assets to the members of the club. The original clubhouse, a traditional rectangular building around a stone fireplace, was situated where the upper putting green now sits. After hosting many celebrations, and with plenty of stories and memories, the clubhouse was finally replaced in 1987. It received another facelift in 2021 and today the clubhouse provides members, guests and the public with with a stunning view from the deck and an ambience that is warm and friendly.
