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.

Excellent experience

Great course conditions! Faraways are a good place to be, rough is very rough and a challenge to get out of. Greens are tricky and fun. Fantastic practice facilities to warm up after a drive. Friendly service and yummy food at the Restaurant.

We Drove 2 and a half hours, rented a condo just for Tobianno.

Golf trip 2016
11 dudes.
We planned for 36 holes from the beginning. It was a BIG day! First tee 930am. We played best ball from the blues/Spurs. Smart. This course will eat you up! We got to as a team scope some lines, hit some putts, and overall get a feeling. Smart.

Second round, Stroke play from the whites/Lake. Great on a few levels, white tees are very different than the first time around. Also! This course will eat you alive, playing from the whites is still tough enough. my handicap is 10ish

Fantastic views!
Top notch range!
Great GPS carts, and cart girls.
Like 8 holes that are epicly unique and challenging!
I will never forget our day at Tobianno! Never!

great job Tobianno. Kinda outside of town.
We air BNB'd. that was our only option for accom.

Every single hole is a signature hole.

I have been golfing for more than 200 different golf courses in North America (mostly in British Columbia, Canada and Palm Spring, CA ), Tobiano is the one on top of my list. Every hole is a signature hole. You will not get bore with this beautiful course. We were there in the Thanksgiving long weekend, the course is well kept and in excellent condition as always.
Thumb up Tobiano !

On par with The Plantation (Maui) & Old Head, Ireland

One of the best golf courses I have played anywhere in the world.
Design is extremely good and course maintenance was superb.
A great challenge, but no tricks. If you hit good shots you get good results.

Worth the trip

Everytime we drove by Tobiano we would admire the course and say one day we should play it. It was worth the wait. Course is challenging if you are a higher handicap or don't hit the ball somewhat straight. Fairways and greens are like carpet and well maintained. Every staff member we talked to were very friendly and made you feel welcome. We ate lunch and dinner in the clubhouse, both meals were very good and well priced.

excellent views/ wind a killer

beautiful course. wonderful views every hole. but if the wind blows (it was today in the pm) holes #5 thru 11 are super tough. lots of uphill or downhill lies regardless. a great shot makers course for a single handicapper, but a long day for the 20+ type. excellent facilities with unlimited range balls. carts only i think. don't think it's walkable, even for ironman types. greens and fairways all break to the river, regardless of what it looks like. easy to find from the highway. got a great deal with golfnow hot tee time.
pet peeve: players who eat and spit out sunflower seed shells or pistaciao shells on the fairway or greens got no manners! maybe courses should ban that ... but who needs to be told?

A course everyone must try

Tobiano is my favorite course I have played to date. From the views to the immaculate conditions there is little to dislike about this course. It was one of the best conditions I have ever played, the fairways felt like greens at most courses. Expect a challenge though as there are a few gaps to hit over, some small fairways and a lot of going up hill and downhill. None of those detract from the experience as the scenery takes you away with wonderful views from every hole. The par 3's are imaginative and very fun to play. This is a must play for any avid golfer.

UNIQUE!! Every golfer must play here at least once!!

UNIQUE!!! We played practically all over the world: All the best courses in the East coast, West coast, Canada, Korea, Thailand, Philippines, Samoa, Guam and Hawaii for the last 21 years. We have never seen anything like this course. We will go back there next summer and stay in Kamloops and just play golf for a week. Thanks Golf.now for including this course. This course needs to be rated in top ten best in North America.

Not a course for duffers

Beautiful setting Excellent conditions and staff. This is a very challenging course for higher handicappers. Many bunkers and the areas outside the fairways are rough and tough. Be sure to follow the staff recommendations for tee choice. A challenge for all golfers but would be a real joy for low handicappers. Will return if the price is right. Dining facilities are very good.
