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.

Very nice course but speed up the play

A course can be the best in the world but if you play is over a five hour round, it doesn't matter how good it is. The fun is lost - his messes up your momentum and ruins an otherwise good game.

The course itself is very nice. It was in great shape - very nice greens.

There was a Marshall on the course for the first few holes then we did not see him again. I like the philosophy that you annoy four people and move them along or you annoy the whole course. Obviously this is not the case at this course.

We play a lot of fantastic courses - Brandon, Pinehurst, Chambers Bay, Ballibunion, whistling Straits, Cabot and the list goes on. We will not come back to Tobiano. The pace of play was ridiculously slow but also we were told the manager would call us, I left my card and he never did. That was very poor customer service.

There are a lot of fabulous courses in the world. We will stick to the ones where I can get in a reasonably paced round.

One word... WOW!

This is one of the most beautiful golf courses I've ever seen. The views are incredible, and the course is in immaculate shape.

I've played here a few times, and when the wind whips up... it's almost unplayable... but you still play anyway because it is such an amazing track!

Put this one on your bucket list...

Best golf course ever!

My boyfriend has played many golf courses all over North America and found this to be the best course he has been on in years. He hasn't stopped talking about it since yesterday and now wants me to come with him in the cart so that I can experience the amazing views and challenging holes this course has to offer.

Looking forward to taking in the amazing restaurant!! So lucky this course is within 30 minutes of us. I know you will see him as often as he can get there.

Congratulations for making this course the one he cannot stop talking about in all positive ways!!

Great links style course in semi desert setting...

Great links style course in semi desert setting with views of Kamloops Lake and surrounding mountainous terrain that would rival any golf course setting. This is a very challenging course in-spite of its generous fairways and large greens. Great practise facilities and the course is very well maintained. Great place to spend the day with friends or families.

Pace of Play

May 19/2017
Three groups ahead of us, who were on tour from other country were very slow. They had two slots vacant between them and us and yet we caught up with them at 7th hole. There after it was less than fun to play the remaining holes.
Spoke with the Marshal half way into the game about the slow play and were told that he already has asked those members. Marshal should have revisited to see if the pace actually improved, but we never saw him again.

Course challenging with breaktaking views

Loved the course, the fairways and greens in excellent condition. Lots of elevation, not suitable for walking. The Starter explained the course do's and dont's which helped tremendously. Would love to play again now that I know where to play my ball.

WOW

This may have been the most fun I have had on a golf course in a very long while! It is not for the feint of heart. There are huge elevation changes as the course winds up and down through the sagebrush with no two holes alike. Every green needs to be taken seriously as no putt is as simple as it may look. The suggestions provided by the cart GPS are invaluable but keep in mind that they may be for a different tee box than you are playing and adjust accordingly. The staff and local members were very friendly and helpful. I can hardly wait for a return visit.

A spectacular and challenging course

Tobiano is ranked as one of the best courses in Canada and I agree. The scenery is spectacular and the course is beautiful and challenging. The fairways are tight and the ball rolls a long way, sometimes off the fairway due to the side slopes. And the greens are fast and have a lot of break, often difficult to see. There are several significant forced carries across gullies, especially on the par 3's. The par 5 8th hole is particularly challenging on all three shots to the green. This is one of the best courses we have played in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia.

Coarse in great shape!

The fairways are like they greens. Coarse is in excellent shape and very well maintained. Of course the scenery is spectacular. Staff in pro shop was very nice and helpful. Thank you! Then we had supper in the dining area and it was excellent. We both enjoyed our meals, all gourmet cooking. It was a very lovely day spent at Tobiano Golf . Thanks to all the staff cause we will be back.
