Thank you for arranging our Kelowna trip for us. The Accent Inn was in a great location and the beds very comfortable and clean.
We enjoyed the courses you picked (Sunset Ranch, Black Mnt and Shannon Lake). So many nice courses there, loved the scenery and there was a nice breeze on each of them that made the heat more bearable. We headed to the lake after every game which was refreshing.
We will keep your number for sure for any future golf trips.

Just a belated note to thank you for the wonderful job on booking our golf trip. Everyone had a great time. The hotel was very good to us as far as the meeting room went and we were able to use it both nights. The golf courses were great especially the Dunes which every one agreed they liked better. I am sure you will hear next year from the couples planning that trip. Again thanks and if you ever need to refer a satisfied customer we will all be glad to contribute.

Ross, thanks so much for organizing our BC golf holiday. We had a great time in spite of the weather!
St Eugene Mission is a lovely resort - food was good and staff were friendly. The resort has wonderful ambience and it was very clean and totally non-smoking.
We golfed at St. Eugene the first day - sunny and warm - great course. Wednesday it sprinkled on and off all day but we enjoyed Trickle Creek - very challenging course and beautiful views. Would love to go back when the weather is better. We passed on Shadow Mountain as it poured rain and we thought the course would be really soggy - and so would we. We asked about a rain check but they said we would need to discuss with you - based on our previous conversation, I gather that unless they closed the course, we are out of luck? (Editors note - Yes this typically the case however we will get Donna 2 rain checks)
On the whole though, it was a great getaway. Thanks again for your help in putting it together.

Just wanted to send you an email to say how much I appreciate everything you did to organize our trip. Absolutely everything was perfect! You made me look really good as the organizer. Everyone loved the fact that all they had to do was show up and everything was looked after. I highly recommend the Hampton hotel. The staff was fabulous, room was exceptional, and the pool / hot tub / and even the water slide made for a great way to soothe some aching muscles at the end of the day. Even the breakfast was quite good and the topping on the cake was fresh baked cookies when we checked in at the desk. SWEET. I do not know how you managed to pull off the incredible weather we got but great job there too! Thanks again and you can look forward to booking our group again next year. Paul Cowl

I've been meaning to contact you, just to give you the 'thumbs up' on our holiday package in Kelowna. The Coast Capri was a great place to stay, close to everything. We encountered a bit of drizzle/rain the first two days, but nothing to hold us back from golfing. We were very happy with the courses we played; and their hospitality was wonderful...particularly Sunset Ranch - I'm just sorry we didn't plan that day to stay there to eat, they seemed to have been the most friendly, and accommodating.

I wanted to take a moment and thank you for your services. We had a great trip and really enjoyed ourselves. The weather held well for us too. Everything was set up for us at the courses and the hotel. You're one-stop / one-call service is really appreciated. As to the courses. The greens on Bear and Quail were playable but definitely still impacted by the 3 week old punching. The greens at Black Mtn were immaculate and that course may soon surpass the others as the best course in Kelowna. It's our favorite so far in the area. Thank you again and we'll be in touch next spring

Ross, please accept my apologies for responding so late after our trip, but June is a very busy month for me.
I just want to thank you for having our trip so well organized. The accommodations were great, and all of us were very impressed with the courses. Kelowna has another winner in the Black Mountain course ( None of us got close to your 79, but we will blame that on the alcohol factor). We are most definetly doing this again next year, and will be calling on you to get us set up again. On behalf of the group Thank you.

Morning Ross,
May I thank you for the excellent organisation and support you provided to us. The Borgata Lodge was quite superb and the courses challenging. All in all - a great holiday. We did try to call you directly to say 'thanks' but could not get through. Ah well, back to work.

We have booked thru BCgolfguide.com for 3+ years and I enjoy dealing with Ross. When i call he already knows who i am, as he remembers our past conversations and my voice. It is a pleasure to deal with his company. Always quick and efficient. Our groups travels all over North America to various resorts, and i can honestly attest that no one i have dealt with at resorts in Florida, South Carolina and California match the attention to detail and accuracy. the trips are executed without hassles and mistakes. thank you.

Ross, Thanks again for setting everything up this weekend\'s Kamloops trip. Your system is super user-friendly and efficient. No complaints.
The boys had a great time. Everyone said they would be sure to use the service again when setting up future trips. Regards, Dan.

Just wanted to express my thanks once again for our recent golf excursion to Kamloops which you had a huge hand in making it one of our best ever!!! The weather was amazing...33-35 C everyday and what can I say about Tobiano...probably one of my top 2 courses I have ever played ( same goes for the rest of our group ) Some tougher holes than others but the whole experience was unreal!! I will be in contact with you in April of 2011 to make this all happen once again. More than likely back to Kelowna but we\'ll see!?! As a group, we are talking about making this a bi-annual thing but you know how that works with wives, etc.....it\'s a \"work in progress\".
Thanks again Ross, Scott Torget

Thanks for arranging a great golf trip. Everything went completely smooth, no glitches with anything, including the weather. Of the 9 courses played, our favourite 3 had to be Tobiano, Predator Ridge and Tower Ranch with Gallaghers Canyon, Okanagan Quail and the Rise just behind them. Sun Rivers was mostly interesting but had a few contrived holes that were quite easy to lose a ball on even after a good shot down the middle. Black Mountain was interesting but felt a bit jammed into too small an area. The Dunes was fun but not as interesting as some of the mountain courses. Thanks again for the great arrangements, we'll certainly use you again for our next trip to the west.

Hi Ross,
I wanted to thank you for helping set up our golf trip last month. The accommodations at the Manteo were very good and the golf was fantastic. The round at Tower Ranch was the highlight. We look forward to returning to Kelowna or Kamloops (or Whistler?) next year. Booking through you was very easy and effective and we will go this route again. I will also recommend you to anyone else who is thinking golf. Thank you Rob Sim

Ross, I just wanted to say what a great time we all had in Kelowna at the Manteo Resort and I thank you for making it all possible. Everything worked out as you had laid it out for us for golf course check in. Many thanks, Sharon.

Just wanted to drop you a note expressing our thanks for your help in setting up a very enjoyable trip to Kamloops. We were very impressed with all the courses (found Tobiano pretty difficult and Talking Rock a pleasant surprise) and all the people we met there. The Thompson Inn was in a front lobby reno, but it wasn't an issue really, people were good and its very central, we enjoyed being right downtown on Victoria St as opposed to up the hill at say the Accent Inn, which is something you might want to hi-lite for people ( either way ). I think Kamloops has got it right in their customer/service/attitude department, found everyone from hotel, golf course and restaurant staff to be excellent, may want to pass that onto to the appropriate authorities. Big thumbs up for the 3.2.1. Bistro, awesome restaurant! Thanks again - Len

Just wanted to let you know something about our group trip to Kelowna earlier this year. At the Quail course, we were all given a $10 credit because two tiny patches of green were roped off as unplayable. Essentially we all got a free sleeve of balls due to a very minor course issue. I (and the rest of my group) was totally impressed by this gesture by the Quail course...something many courses would not have done. That really made a positive impression on us. We in BC sometimes complain about service, but certainly not at the Quail course. They were top notch in every way. Thanks again, we are looking forward to next year's trip!

Hi Ross,
Just saying to you from me and my wife that we had a great time at Salmon Arm and playing golf and relaxing at the beaches. Thank you very much and we will be looking to do this again and having you set it up in the future.

Hello Ross, I trust you are getting in some golf now and thought I would reply to your e-mail about testimonials. A 12 year old member of the Optimist Junior Linkster Tour Canada - www.jrlinkster.com recorded an amazing feat on Wednesday, June 16th at the Queen Elizabeth Park Par 3 Golf Course in Vancouver.
Patrick Tan of Vancouver, accompanied by his mother and with other witnesses in the group ahead, sunk his 52 degree wedge shot on the 65 yard Hole #3 for a Hole-in-One - Hoorah! (Patrick plays there regularly and had had five Hole-in-One\'s already in the past year!)
Then it gets interesting - as the play was slow that day and his group was waiting anyway, he hit a second ball with the same club and it too went into the hole - that\'s two balls in the hole. Then, amazingly, he put a third ball in play and again with the same club, put that ball in the hole too! They have a normally uninteresting picture of three balls in a hole - but all those balls were played from the tee and all 3 went in in one shot. He was too sheepish to play a fourth!
Patrick is an eight handicap golfer and plays all the local BCGA junior events. He is a member of the Quilchena GC in Richmond.
