Ironwood Restaurant Salmon Arm
⛳ Ironwood Restaurant might belong to the Salmon Arm Golf Club, but you definitely don’t need a tee time to appreciate it.
Set among the fairways and towering trees just off Highway 97B, this relaxed clubhouse restaurant is best known for its beautiful patio, where lunch comes with sweeping views across one of Salmon Arm’s most scenic golf courses. The menu leans into satisfying pub-style favourites, daily specials and clubhouse classics, with recent diners raving about the Greek Wrap and longtime customers remembering everything from pizza and fish tacos to house-made soups. Add a cold beer, friendly service and a shady patio overlooking the greens, and Ironwood feels less like a golf-course concession and more like one of Salmon Arm’s hidden summer dining spots.
