Twin Lakes Golf Resort in South Okanagan is situated in a beautiful valley surrounded by towering mountains covered with forests of firs and pines. It's part of the Okanagan Golf Trail, a group of courses in the Penticton, Oliver, and Summerland areas that each offers a diverse terrain and unique playing experience. The golf course full utilizes the dramatically undulating terrain, incorporating elevated tees, rolling fairways and sloped greens. The lofty elevations also provide stunning views across the rugged landscape. The seventh is the toughest hole with a large sand trap combined with a narrowed fairway. As far as difficulty goes, it's followed by the equally tricky 16th hole, which has a lengthy sand trap that spans almost the entire left side of the golf course. In addition to the golf course, Twin Lakes also has a short-game practice area with chipping and putting greens as well as a riving range.

Really rough conditions

This course is in a beautiful location and an interesting layout but the condition is terrible. Tee boxes with no grass and so hard you need a power drill to make a hole for your tee. Half the greens in really rough shape. Will not return.

Fun for all type of course.

He staff in the clubhouse and on the grounds are super friendly. Must have been a hard winter up there, as the course has a lot of winter damage on the fairways and some of the greens. The course needs major watering on the fairways and greens.

Course review

it’s disappointing to see the course in the shape that it is in. The greens have may dry patches & overall the course doesn’t look like it’s being well maintained at present. We love playing there but have seen the conditions much better than we played today. It’s very dry and dusty.

Beautiful setting, fun course

This course boasts a beautiful setting nestled into a rugged mountain valley. It has a number of elevation changes and an interesting variety of hole layouts. Some holes give you latitude off the tee and some don't. The greens are fast enough and putt true but watch out for sudden breaks at the hole. The staff and members are welcoming and helpful. I had a great time and look forward to playing the course again next time I'm in the area.

Greens are in awesome shape. Dry off the fairways. Not busy except on Tuesday. Very good value for the money. I have played quite a few times. Will go again soon. Can get cold in the evening. Take a sweater.

Great day. A course Marshall would have helped. Several groups on front played like an eightsome. Slowed up play, but given chance to play through. Patience definately a virtue.

My personal favorite e

Every time I golf somewhere else, like in the Kootenays, I always compare to the Twin Lakes Golf Course. And glad to enjoy the local surrenderings. New look at every tee box. Thank you to all the staff for that.
