    Played on 2011-08-28 @ INKAMEEP CANYON DESERT GOLF COURSE located in Oliver, BC, Canada

    What a disappointing day. We pay $90 on a Sunday in August to play punched greens? I seriously couldn't believe the absolute terrible quality that these greens were in. Give the players some discount if your greens are this bad. I will not play this course again, and will definitely recommend my friends to play Fairview instead of this course.

    BCgolfguide asked Joe about the incident and he replied....

    You know I didn't and now I regret it. I made a joke to my buddies at the start of the round, saying lets ask for our money back and go to Fairview, but no one took me seriously. I did make a comment to a guy in the pro shop when we made the turn, and he just responded by saying "everyone does their sanding now". Well after we completed our round, there was only a young kid working in the pro shop, so I didn't think it would be very useful to complain to him, and everyone was eager to get back to Vancouver, so I just left it. :(

    We love this course so much we extended our trip by another day to play it again. The course was in magnificent shape, the design was awe inspiring, the play was stunning. We're definitely headed back to play again.

    This course really is amazing. The grounds crew do a fantastic job of keeping this course in shape, not an easy task! Views are incredible, you really feel like it's just you and the course, there are very few holes that run alongside each other.

    Now, a lot of people will tell you that it's very difficult and that it's just not a fair course. If you USE THE GPS when you don't know where to go, you'll be fine. Yes, there is some target golf and fairways are narrow but I absolutely adore this challenge of a course.

    Staff is all very friendly, the carts with GPS are great and have ball/club cleaners right there on your cart! Bottom line is if you want to go somewhere to flatter your golf, there is always Hillview!

    Played on 2010-11-07 @ SHADOW RIDGE GOLF CLUB located in Kelowna, BC, Canada

    We (Ross Marrington and I )decieded to play Shadow to get probably our last kick at a game in for 2010. The weather was perfect, we turfed the jackets after a couple of holes. For November 7th, what a treat and the course was in very good shape, just a few wet spots and 1 temp green, #18. It was a fun day and we actually played 23 holes. Started on 14 as it was a shotgun start, but by the time we finished, we still had sun shine so we played on. What a great fall day of golf. Regards, Dave Kandola.

    Played on 2010-09-14 @ TOWER RANCH GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB located in Kelowna, BC, Canada

    This is simply the best course in the Okanagan, great memorable design layout, greens are excellent. Some of the most scenic views in the Okanagan.
    Course is playable for all levels including the ladies in our group. Club restaurant was excellent, an overall great golf experience surpassing Predator, Gallaghers and the Rise.

    Played on 2010-09-11 @ BLACK MOUNTAIN GOLF CLUB located in Kelowna, BC, Canada

    What a great course ! No wonder it is one of the top new courses in the country. Lots of elevation change from tee to fairway and fairway to green, but when you are in the fairway, at least you have a reasonable flat lie ( unlike the Rise in vernon ). Our group had a big spread from low to high index, but this place is playable for all levels. All the staff were great. This place is a Do Not Miss if you are in the Kelowna area. Only negative is the lack of a drving range, just the warm up nets.

    We were a group of twelve golfers and made Salmon Arm our home base.We stayed at the Podollan Inn where we we treated like kings. Their hospitably was great. We played Salmon Arm Golf Coarse,Hyde Mountain Mara Lake in Sicamous,Talking Rock in Chase and Canoe Creek in Salmon Arm. All the courses were in great shape and the employees from the Pro Shop to the green Keepers were friendly and helpful, A trip of a life time. Thanks Ross

    This course is spectacular.Great views and interesting holes with a lot of elevation change.Carts only but all holes play mostly down hill.I have played a lot of courses in the Kootenays and the Okanagan and this must be one of the very best.If you like Greywolf you will really enjoy the ridge,same architect. The accommodation in the lodge and the restaurant is five star.

    Message from the Publisher - there have been several reviews about Twin Lakes in recent weeks and after an indepth conversation with one of the owners and have been provided some editorial that will hopefully address this issue and re-gain consumer confidence that Twin Lakes is trying hard to improve the course conditions and playing experience.

    Twin Lakes Golf Course Conservation Practices for a Sustainable Golf Course
    Our goals at Twin Lakes have been to make significant and distinctive changes in the golf course maintenance practices with environmental stewardship and resource management forming the basis for the improved playing conditions.
    Twin Lakes is in the first steps of conserving and prioritizing resources, especially water. Many Changes have taken place at Twin Lakes over the past year and this is long overdue.
    Today’s turf management practices demand the conservation of water, fertilizers, and machinery use. The conservation practices on golf courses in the USA, Europe, and Australia are an established way of life and this world wide movement is here to stay. We are just beginning these practices. By following these methods of conservation, we can focus more efforts on the main playing surfaces and conserve resource from out of play areas. This will help in developing a golf course that is sustainable.
    The result is a more manicured playing surface (greens, tees, fairways) that I hope you are experiencing during your round. Some rough may be brown but it should not impede play. The rough may be brown and natural areas may require a more disciplined manor of playing golf, but the days of being able to take a shot from most anywhere on the property are gone. Look around the terrain at Twin Lakes and see how little natural green you see. It’s pretty hard to play golf on sagebrush. It is a small price to pay for conservation, but it must take precedent. We are all residents of planet earth and all of us need to point our direction to the common good, even golfers.

    Please if you have had a poor experience at Twin Lakes do not hesitate to call the proshop and speak with Head Professional Greg Pidlaski.

    Played on 2010-05-28 @ SHANNON LAKE GOLF CLUB (Kelowna) located in Westbank, BC, Canada

    Played Friday afternoon with my sister Jane (up for a visit from the coast) The weather was spectacular, rain stopped 10 minutes before we started, course is in great shape, and greens very very good. Played well again with a 76, another game best for me at Shannon. Hole 17 must be one of the prettiest holes in the valley. Shannon Lake hugging the right side from tee-box to green. Watch for turtles in the ponds. Hole 18 typically can play hard for me, but not this day. Good tee-shot which left me in the middle of the fairway, about 175 yards up hill to a blue flag, a debated on club selection, choose my 5 iron. It felt good, at first i though it could be short and catch the darn bunker front. Nope - hit the green and as i approached, a gem, just 16" from the pin, birdie finish. Yeah! It was fun to get a couple of games in with my sister as i do not see her too often, she enjoy the week, the wine tours too :)
