Membership Information and Guidelines

Bay club membership information and  guidelines.

The Bay Club Company, along with its subsidiaries and affiliated entities (collectively, the “Bay Club”), have adopted guidelines, procedures, rules, and regulations (“Guidelines”) to provide for the safe, enjoyable, and healthy use of our clubs, premises, and events by you, our members, and guests.

The Guidelines apply to your conduct at all Bay Club locations which includes your access to our clubs, sports amenities (including but not limited to golf, tennis, squash, racquetball, pickleball, basketball), all outdoor areas, including parking lots, sidewalks, and outdoor pools, and indoor and outdoor children’s play areas (collectively, the “Premises”). The Guidelines also apply to the use of any of the Bay Club’s online, mobile, or interactive offerings or websites. They also apply to your conduct during Bay Club programs, training, events, or other Bay Club-sponsored activities off the premises (“Events”).

In addition to these Guidelines, the Bay Club may post or otherwise communicate additional Guidelines in our clubs, on our web or mobile sites, or at our Events, including Guidelines applicable to a single club. In some instances, government regulations may establish different requirements applicable to certain clubs that may not be outlined here. To the extent of a conflict with other Guidelines, the more restrictive Guideline applies.

If you violate any of these Guidelines, you may be subject to membership consequences including the restriction, suspension, or termination of your membership or club access.  Members are responsible for their actions as well as the actions of their guests and children under their supervision. Should damage arise—whether property or personal injury—you are liable for all resultant costs. Please note that not all rules may apply at all Clubs if a specific department is not onsite.

The Bay Club may change these Guidelines at any time at its discretion. As a member or guest of the Bay Club, you are responsible for reviewing and complying with these Guidelines.

For questions, please contact Customer Service through  Bay Club Connect .

On the Water

Get out on okanagan lake.

From Stand-up Paddleboards to High End Wake Surf boats, KYC has you covered. Our favourite saying, “No boat, no problem!” has never been more true. You do not need to own your own boat now to get on the water—just another perk of KYC membership!

We always focus on providing value to our membership. We are pleased to offer rental rates below the average market rental cost.

Stay in the loop.
