Explore Fort St. John’s golf courses with Golf Course Bingo

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — There is little over a week left for local golf enthusiasts to take a trek around courses in the Fort St. John area.

In association with Fort St. John Recreation, Golf Course Bingo involves playing a nine-hole round on Farmington Fairways in Farmington, Fort St. John Links, Lakepoint Golf and Country Club in Charlie Lake, and Lone Wolf Golf Club in Taylor. 

Each course stamps a playing card to indicate a round.

Entrants may receive two stamps if they play eighteen holes, but only on that one course. 

Each stamp on a course indicates an entry into the grand prize draw, but the limit is two stamps per course. 

According to city recreation programmer David Green, the initiative was created to encourage more players to play the links on the region’s courses.

He says the summer students of the Recreation Department have been “instrumental” in putting together the planning and preparation for the event. 

After participants complete a round on each course, they can return the cards to the Visitor and Information Centre inside the Pomeroy Sports Centre at 9324 96th Street in Fort St. John.

On September 6th, one lucky winner will receive a prize basket featuring contributions from each course or a complimentary round of nine holes on each course. 

Golf Course Bingo ends on August 31st.
