Tobiano Golf Course
About
Tobiano Golf Course stretches across more than 1,000 acres of rugged terrain located at the heart of British Columbia's interior. Situated on the site of the historic Six Mile Ranch, a famous cattle ranch known for its Red Angus breed, the golf course offers a golfing experience unlike any other. It's the highest-ranking public golf course in B.C. and it's the sixth best public course in all of Canada. The beautiful landscape and its natural features inspired the Thomas McBroom design. McBroom also utilized the stunning views of the lakes and mountains that stretch from every direction. Notable holes include the no. 1 handicap hole, the intimidating par-5 eighth, and the trio of holes beginning with the fourth, all of which are par 4s. Tobiano is a golf course that is challenging from the intimidating first tee to the undulating green on the final hole.

All the staff there from pro-shop to waitresses and cart guys are so friendly and helpful. Thank you it’s always so nice to be around friendly people.
Tobiano
Unless you are a single digit handicapper bring lots of balls . This is not a course for spraying tee shots but however it is a beauty .
Beautiful Vistas
Almost every hole on this course has beautiful views from the tee box and it was in very good condition. However, for a course of this caliber it has a few problems; no obvious target to aim at on several of the tees, some grass that was 10 inches high just on the outer edge of the rough, and far too many dead spots on the greens from unrepaired ball marks.
Flip me another ball
There should be a rule stating that if you hit a ball in the ravine, go directly to the drop zone. Don’t futilely hit 4 or 5 more while your playing partners are waiting to move on.
Other than that a great golfing experience.

Hot Day for my first time playing Tobino.
Beautiful challanging course.
Course was in great shape. Playing partner had to rent and got a nice set of Titleist clubs.
Amazing round at Tobiano
A great time at Tobiano - a privilege to golf at this wonderful course.
If you are near Kamloops, play it
I have been fortunate to play a lot of great courses around the world. We have a lot of great ones in BC. Tobiano gets a reputation as being very difficult. Most people play tees to far back. It is a killer from the back tees. It is also difficult the first time you play it so have that expectation. After you learn the golf course, and where to miss shots, it is actually easier than other difficult courses in the area. Greens are always VERY good. All slope across the lake in the same direction of a pit across the lake. Enjoy.
A rare near-sweep of five-star ratings for Tobiano
Tobiano is as good as advertised, a visual rollercoaster ride of a round. It's one of a kind, and that's hard to find after playing more than 1,000 golf courses around the world.
I've always been a fan of the five par 3s/five par 5s layout. It's more fun with more opportunities to score.
The only reason I couldn't give Tobiano five stars for layout are the two par 5s on the front nine. I'm nitpicking here, but the first hole is too tough and too intimidating to be the starter hole.
The eighth hole gets mixed reviews as the most controversial hole on the course. I love the tee shot, an all-carry hero shot over a chasm, but the second is a brutal blind second shot that most first-timers like me will screw up. Most balls either end up OB on the right or like mine in an awkward lie in the rough next to a two-foot-high wooden-plank wall that was designed to keep balls in play. That wall, to me, was a red flag of a design flaw that needs to be rethought. Maybe a catch bunker? Maybe bring in a couple dozen truckloads of dirt to extend the fairway? Anyway, it's a hole too tricked up for my tastes, and I'm pretty open minded on these matters.
Beyond that one questionable blind second shot, this course is a joy to play. It's got lots of elevation changes and views that soar for days. The modern clubhouse serves great food and more scenery. If you want to make a day of it, head down to the marina and rent a boat like we did for a pleasure cruise on the lake you've been staring at for the last five hours. Tobiano is one cool place.
Tobiano Extraordinary Golf course in Canada
My first time playing Tobiano, played a 2nd time the same week. It is an Extraordinary Golf course in Canada, I play different Golf Courses every week, 3 seasons a year. The Views to river and mountains, the desert style terrain, shooting over canyons, just spectacular!
Very challenging and amazing conditions, a must play if in or near Kamloops, BC
