Amazing course, very scenic
I would have given the course conditions 5 stars instead of four if it wasn’t for all the rain we had, that’s 100% out of there control. That being said this is a beautiful course, fairways are in great shape, greens are really really fast, pace of play is great(due to the three 9s) and the staff is amazing. The course is great for beginners but also has challenging holes, the rough is not super punishing but the fairways aren’t always easy to hit and the greens are even harder to hit. My biggest challenge here was reading greens as they undulate a lot and are super fast. On top of all this you get panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. It’s a hidden gem, you will find a lot of the Vernon locals there.
challenging course in good condition
course was in very good shape for fall golf. beautiful views and fall colors. Outside grill and inside bar was open with good food. all staff very friendly.
Beautiful Layout
A wonderful, challenging course with a beautiful layout. Well-maintained and picturesque.
Afternoon teatime
Great layout, w/ hilly terrain with some challenging greens. Scenery is as good as it gets.Downside was the pace was slow due to the foursome in front (5 hour + round). It would have been nice if the course staff had asked them to pick up the pace as it was 2-3 groups deep behind us.
