    Played on 2010-08-05 @ PREDATOR RIDGE GOLF RESORT - New Ridge Course located in Vernon, BC, Canada

    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.

    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 :)

    Played on 2010-05-24 @ THE CLUB AT TOWER RANCH located in Kelowna, BC, Canada

    We played Tower Ranch on the Monday of the May long weekend. It was with out a doubt the nicest track we played while we were in the Okanagan. (including the Rise) The elevation changes and the views make this course a "must" play. It really has it all challenging par 3s to wide open par 5s with a canyon to carry. If you are in the neighbourhood i would play here for sure.

    Played on 2010-05-23 @ SUNSET RANCH GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB located in Kelowna, BC, Canada

    I played in the Steak or Beans Event this past May long weekend. BCgolfguide.com organized the group for their trip which included Black Mountain and staying at the Coast Capri - 35 guys in all. They needed another person to create even teams, hence i joined in for a very memorable weekend.

    What this group does annually is play their first round (Blk Mnt) in order to create 18 teams of 2, White and Black. For Sunday's game the crew had a lot of fun. Buffett Breakfast served up compliments of Jeff and breakfast crew. T-time at 11:40am - Each 4-some has a white and black team. Stroke play and teams determined from like handicaps from Saturdays game. A hole is either won by a team for 2 points, or halved and each team gets 1 point. After the 9 teams come in, total points are tallyed and for 2010, Black won! Well i was on the white team with a career best score of 75.

    Losers ate beans, winners had steak back at the Coast Capri. Did i mention winners dine on fine chinaware, while losers get paper cups, plastic spoons, newspaper table setting and dead flower arrangement. It was a blast.

    The group welcomed me into the clan of "Slice Boys". Re: Photo attached - bar setup at the 18th greenside as the groups came in. Hats off to the staff at both Black Mountain (thanks Brice, Eric and Tony) and Sunset Ranch (Bruce, Scott, and Jeff) for serving up terrific food and having exceptionally friendly staff to make the experience most memorable for all. Watch for more photos coming from this group.

    played here on Saturday around 4:00pm, plenty of time to finish. Course in good shape although greens where sanded which made for some bumpy putts. Played with Dave Kandola, and two members Brian Shepard and Gord McGarva. Had a great time with a competitive game between myself and Gord and Dave and Brian.

    Played on 2010-04-28 @ BLACK MOUNTAIN GOLF CLUB located in Kelowna, BC, Canada

    A fun course to play. Challenging to say the least as most fairways slope towards a ravine. Hilly,undulating and a cart is recommended. Very scenic and the greens are well kept and smooth to play on. Well done folks with good food post-game. Will be back.

    Played on 2009-09-02 @ BLACK MOUNTAIN GOLF CLUB located in Kelowna, BC, Canada

    The front nine is a challenge. You will need a cart. The back nine isn't very challenging and much of the same over and over. I don't think I'd play again.

    Editors note - This gentleman also made comments that simply can not be verified and are not relevant to the course and therefore have been removed from the review.

    My wife and I played Black Mountain Golf Club and it was awesome! The Superintendent, Barry Skabar, has done a perfect job of grow-in and establishment and the course was immaculate, challenging and a thrill to play. In addition to the great golf course, the food and beverage service under the direction of Tony Fatica assisted by great staff was outstanding.

    Best total golf experience possible 10 out of 10! Congratulations to Barry, Tony and staff! Thank you for providing the highlight of my golfing vacation.

    Played on 2008-09-07 @ THE GOLF CLUB AT THE RISE located in Vernon, BC, Canada

    The views of this course are incredible...the best I have ever seen on a golf course. However, a lot of the holes should be at the circus, as there are numerous blind tee shots and some blind second shots. The second cut of rough is very high and difficult, so bring lots of balls. Overall it is manicured beautifully and the sites are breathtaking. If you are a golfer looking for views it is the course for you. It can be frustrating for golfers of all abilities as some good shots won't be found and golfers who do not hit it straight will spend a lot of their day searching for balls.

    Played on 2008-05-22 @ THE GOLF CLUB AT THE RISE located in Vernon, BC, Canada

    Had the opportunity to play the back nine in the fall of 2007. This course is a new generation signature course with views that are absolutely breathtaking. The Okanagans only signature golf course (Fred Couples) The back nine is tough but fair with water carry iron shots and large fair greens. With the front nine open in June 2008 with treelined fairways, elevated par 3's waterfalls and lakes. The Rise will be THE must play course of the Okanagan....
