The Bistro at Birchbank
Fully licensed and open to the public, golfers and walk-ins both. Breakfast through dinner from one kitchen, the covered patio open whenever the doors are, and the view earns its keep all day.
The patio sits one tier above the first green. From any table you are looking down the front nine, across the Columbia, and up at the Monashee foothills. Most days you can hear the river before you see it.
Genelle, British Columbia. 12 minutes north of Trail, 15 from Castlegar, 50 from the Spokane border crossing.

Honey mustard coleslaw does the heavy lifting. The brioche bun holds. Fries on the side, mixed greens if you'd rather, or sub Caesar for three dollars.
Prefer beef? The Back 9 Burger ($22) is a Wagyu patty with bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, pickles and garlic aioli on brioche. The Out of Bounds ($24) adds ham, extra cheddar and a fried egg, for the rounds that earned it.
