Activities: Golfing, Thompson Okanagan

With the South Thompson River to the south and sage-brushed covered hills to the north, Rivershore is a fantastic tour through the Thompson Valley bottom.  Playing over 7000 yards, designer Robert Trent Jones Sr. has created a beautiful blend of challenge and playability in the north Okanagan desert.

Fairways carved through natural canyons, gentle contoured greens, and up to five sets of tee’s make Sun Rivers a memorable round for all golfers. As one of the few true “desert” courses in Canada, the course is situated amongst rolling, sage covered, hills and offers sweeping views of the Thompson Valley.

Designed by both Bill Robinson and Les Furber, Gallagher’s Canyon has received countless awards as one of Canada’s best courses.  The course threads its way through Gallagher’s Canyon and weaves though natural Ponderosa pines while offering unsurpassed views of the rugged Okanagan landscape.

Canadian architect Graham Cooke has placed a 7100 yard masterpiece into a working orchard.  Wide fairways, fast greens, and landscape views, are all part of the experience at the Harvest. Winner of numerous awards including 4 stars from Golf Digest, Harvest is a great test of golf. 

Built in 1994, the Quail course at the Okanagan Golf Club uses dramatic elevation changes, multi-tiered greens and fairways, and natural rock bluffs as its main weapons.  Architect Les  Furber has also carefully placed bunkers and mounds throughout the course so club selection and carefully placed shots are crucial.
