The Best

This is a not to be missed course in the Kamloops area. It is not for the feint of heart but just relax and enjoy the day. You will be rewarded but you will have to work for your score. Love it.

Not to be missed

This a grand course that is well worth the drive. It is an Audobon site and there are lots of birds to sing you around! The course is well laid out, well manicured and a very good test of golf. Our only complaint was the pace of play - 5 minutes under 5 hours. We expected a course of this calibre to be marshalled a little better. We will still be back as there is another 9 we did not get a chance to tackle!

Better every year

We had not played Canoe Creek for a few years and were pleased to see what good shape it is in. The greens on the front nine were lightning fast. The back nine had been punched so were a little slower. There are a couple of holes that are a little unfair to a first time player but once you know the course layout they are part of the challenge and fun to tackle.

Scenic

Talking Rock is a wonderfully scenic course that is one of the gems in the area. The course offers something for all levels of golfer. It is cut through the forest with some great views of the lake below and lots of variety in the holes With a little luck there may even be some wild life stroll across the fairways as well. It compares well with the Salmon Arm Club down the road and should not be missed.

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.

Don't miss this one

We try to play this course at least once a season. It never disappoints. The course is in great shape, the greens are fast and there is lots of variety. The setting along the river is beautiful and peaceful. On some days it yields the odd glimpse of wildlife just to add interest. The locals are friendly and very proud of their course.

Nice littel gem.

We were not sure what to expect of this course, but had a very enjoyable afternoon. The course, while not overly challenging, is very well maintained, the greens were fast and in excellent shape. Most fairways are wide and generous. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. No complaints here!

True mountain golf

This course turned out to be much more challenging that anticipated. There is no such thing as a flat lie and many of the holes play much longer due to the extreme elevations. The greens were difficult to read although not as fast as some other courses in the area. We were paired with a local twosome who managed to steer us away from trouble more than once. It was a lot of fun. This is a course you have to see once and then give a serious go another time!

Great fall golf

I had played this course some years ago and do not remember it being as great as it is now. The greens and fairways are in excellent condition. There have been some small changes to the layout which I think are an improvement. The wildlife was an extra bonus although the visiting bear did not make an appearance during our round.

Improving

This course has been improving a little every season but still has a way to go before it can compete head on with most of the courses in the area. The greens are in the best shape I have seen but many of the fairways and tee boxes are in need of attention. The back nine is the better of the two nines. It is a challenging track that has never quite reached its potential. Even with a GolfNow deal there is better value for money elsewhere in the area. I do applaud the new ownership for their continued work on the course.

Best find of the year

This course has the feel of a beautiful rural setting (although it is in town). with great golf to boot. The course is in great shape. We loved the variety of holes and challenge of the greens. The greens ran a little slower than expected but are large and contoured.. The staff was friendly and helpful. We will be back!

Disappointed

At the time we played the course was badly need of water as well as attention. The rental equipment needs maintenance and the indifferent pro shop staff need a lesson in customer service. With some badly needed rain this track should improve greatly and will be worth the drive.

An afternoon of fun

This is a great course within driving distance of Edmonton. There are quite a few unique challenges, especially on the back 9. Hole under 7 is under repair and a par three practice hole is offered in its place. Once these repairs are done this will be a 5 star course again.

Gets better every year

We try to play this course a couple of times a year. The greens are always good. In the past they have had flooding issues on the back nine and they are working hard to eliminate this problem. These changes will be a great improvement in the overall golf experience. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Fabulous course

Fabulous way to spend a great fall day. The fairways and greens are in excellent shape. There is a great variety of holes and something for everyone. Hole number one is hard to figure out and slows down play considerably but once past that it is a great track. Both the staff and locals were very friendly and helpful.

Very interesting

This is a wonderful course that is well maintained with great variety in the holes and terrain. Some of the holes are quite narrow and you can be in a bit of trouble if you don't stay on the fairway. The greens and fairways are in great shape and fun to play. Watch out for the pot bunkers - there are lots of them. It was an enjoyable afternoon and hope to be able to return in the future.

A wonderful morning in the mountains with golf to boot! The course is scenic, the fairways in great shape, the greens tough and the staff friendly. Not much else to say. Be sure to stop here for a round if you are passing by - you won't be sorry.

The fairways and greens are in excellent shape, everything is well maintained. This is a great track with something for everyone. One of our favourites. Ran a little slow for the last 9 holes but it was a beautiful day so we just enjoyed the outing.

A good challenge

This course is much tougher than it first appears. The greens are large, very fast and tricky. The course is quite hilly with fairly wide fairways but lots of trouble to watch out for. The traps could use some attention and there are some dry patches on the fairways, but all in all a very enjoyable round of golf.

We will be back!

This is one of the nicest courses this area has to offer and well worth the drive. The course is in pristine condition. The landscaping is beautiful, the fairways are great and the greens fast and tricky. The course is tree lined but the underbrush has been cleared away with bark mulch under the trees giving you a chance to save an errant shot. . It should appeal to all levels of golf. The staff was friendly and the food in the club house was very good and also very reasonably priced.
