The resort's official neighbourhood map (dated January 2025) shows each neighbourhood with the year it launched. We've grouped them by what matters to a golfer: how close you are to the fairways, what kind of home you'll find, and what the trade-offs are. The pros and cons are our own editorial view, based on public information and the realities of resort living.
Predator Ridge overall
A 1,300-acre resort community (the resort's figure) inside City of Vernon limits, with two ranked golf courses, a village centre, restaurants, a fitness centre and pool, and Ellison Provincial Park next door.
Pros
- Two top-100-in-Canada courses (SCOREGolf 2026: Ridge #24, Predator #86)
- Exempt from B.C.'s speculation and vacancy tax (official)
- A resort-managed rental program for eligible units
- 35+ km of resort trails, and Ellison Park next door
- About 30 minutes to Kelowna airport
Cons
- About 20 minutes to Vernon services, the hospital and schools
- Strata or resort fees apply to many homes
- No waterfront: the lakes are a drive away
- Wildfire-interface area
- Golf season runs roughly April to mid-October
- Prices well above the North Okanagan benchmark
Falcon Point
Falcon Point is one of the two original 1999 neighbourhoods. It was approved for 238 strata parcels and had about 136 homes when the resort profiled it. Homes are Craftsman and Prairie style, set behind distinctive pink granite dry-stack walls. Depending on the lot, views run north to Vernon, east to the Monashee Mountains and west to Okanagan Lake. It's strata-titled: each owner holds a 1/238 share of the common road system. A heritage-style log cabin built in 2000–01 sits on the site of a former irrigation pump station. The resort's map also shows Falcon Point Vacation Homes, launched in 2001.
Pros
- An established neighbourhood with mature landscaping
- Big views in three directions from many lots
- Consistent architecture
Cons
- Strata fees include a share of the private road system
- Early-2000s homes may need updates (check roofs, windows and mechanical systems)
- Read the strata's depreciation report carefully

Longspoon & the Osprey homes
Longspoon borders holes that were part of the original Osprey nine and are now part of the Predator Course. It includes the Osprey Coach Homes (32 lots, 2006), Carriage Homes (12, 2007), Osprey Green Townhomes (2008) and Longspoon Ridge custom homes (four phases, 2007–08). The style is Craftsman, with fairway, lake and valley views depending on the lot.
Pros
- Fairway frontage on the classic Predator Course
- A mix of attached and detached homes, so more price points
- Established, with 2006–08 construction
Cons
- Old "Osprey hole" numbers in resort material don't match today's scorecard, so confirm which hole a home backs onto
- Attached homes mean shared walls and strata rules
- Fairway lots get golf traffic and the odd ball

Birdie Lake, Turtle Cove & Havencrest
Birdie Lake sits away from the resort core, with prairie-style homes on south-facing lots that overlook Birdie Lake and a fairway from the former Peregrine nine (now the Ridge Course). Sub-areas include:
- Birdie Lake Villas: 12 semi-detached homes (2008)
- Birdie Lake Place: large luxury lots (2012). The resort's showhomes were 3,055–3,657 sq ft.
- Turtle Cove: six rancher-style homes of about 2,000 sq ft, lined up with Ridge Course hole 15
- Havencrest: 17 south-facing lots (2016)
Pros
- South-facing sun and water views over Birdie Lake
- Quieter, away from the village core
- Larger lots in some sub-areas
- Ridge Course frontage for some homes
Cons
- Farther from the village amenities, so a cart or car ride
- Big south-facing windows mean strong summer sun
- Limited supply, especially at Turtle Cove

Ellison Landing: Woodside & Vale
Ellison Landing is the newest neighbourhood and is selling in 2026. It has two parts:
- Vale runs along Ridge Course fairways. The resort calls it the "last opportunity to live directly on the fairways." A featured home in September 2026 overlooked the 7th fairway and was listed at $1,995,000.
- Woodside sits next to Ellison Provincial Park, with direct trail access.
There are custom lots and move-in-ready homes. For builder options, lot details and timing, see the dedicated Ellison Landing at Predator Ridge new-home guide.
Pros
- New construction built to current energy codes (Step Code 4 on the featured home)
- Possibly the last fairway frontage at the resort
- Park and trail access in Woodside
- Pick your own finishes, or buy move-in ready
Cons
- New-build pricing, plus 5% GST on new homes
- Construction activity nearby for a while
- Young landscaping, so less shade and privacy at first
- Review builder warranty and deposit terms carefully

A general rule: older areas (1999–2008) usually cost less per square foot but may need updating, and their stratas may be dealing with ageing roads and landscaping. Newer areas (2017 on) have more modern construction and energy performance, at new-build prices. Eligibility for the resort's managed rental program is unit-specific, so ask about each home you're considering.
Ritz-Carlton Residences, Okanagan
Announced in May 2024 as Canada's first standalone Ritz-Carlton Residences, the project is at Predator Ridge. As of September 2026, its website still says "Coming Soon" and hasn't published unit counts, prices or a timeline, so we don't speculate. (rcrokanagan.com; Castanet, 2024)
Beyond Predator Ridge
A golf home doesn't have to be at the resort. Some golfers prefer to live in Okanagan Landing, near the lake with a short drive to the courses, or elsewhere in Vernon, closer to Vernon Golf & Country Club. Sean lives full-time in Okanagan Landing and can compare the trade-offs honestly. Browse the wider market on realestatevernon.ca, or read the best places to live for golfers guide.
