Hi Ross ~ Well, another great week of golf and absolute fun. Our first day of golf (for 10 of us) at Kamloops Golf and Country Club started off in sunshine and very warm weather. By the 8th tee, the wind blew in the rain over the mountains, and we were drenched. We rode in to the club house, no one wanting to quit, so we had a beverage, waited 45 minutes, went back out and finished our golf. Quite surprising, though, that the carts didn't have a bag cover on the carts...I would think that\'s a given in that area.
Every day after that just improved weather-wise, to the point of applying sun screen and having a cold beer at the turn.
The courses were in fabulous condition. We really enjoyed Eagle Point. We were concerned about mosquitoes at The Dunes, being by the River, but because the water was still high, and not stagnant, they weren't really a bother yet.
The Ramada Inn - first time there, and a different venue for us, as we were initially concerned that we would not have a 'social gather area' after golf, before going for dinner. Well, we rolled with the punches by staying at each course for some 'down time' and a drink. We normally go to a different place every night for dinner, but the menu and food at the Hotel was fabulous, so we stayed there for dinner 4 nights.
We had a few problems with housekeeping. When we showed up Sunday evening, some of the rooms were not ready. However, they were absolutely willing and ready to fix any problem.
As for the rest of the Hotel features - great rooms, comfortable beds & pillows, lots of linens, great bath and shower facilities, liked the adjoining rooms, especially for sharing the fridges, they gave us an entire section of rooms to ourselves, Continental Breakfast was a great hit, and we really enjoyed the City View Lounge.
All and all....a great holiday. Thank you very, very much, for helping me make 16 women happy...!!! Till next time...happy golfing...!

Hey Ross. I thought I would drop you a line and let you know the golf trip was great. Canoe Creek was a great suggestion I probably enjoyed that the most out all 3 courses it was in mint condition.
The hotel was fabulous and they were great treated us very well. Thanks again for all the help and I will be in touch in regards to next years tourney.

Our Kelowna golf trip in the first during the period Sep 30-Oct 8th was very good. Our favourite golf courses were Predator and Tower Ranch. The condo accommodations at Playa Del Sol Resort was nice. Overall it was a very good trip.
Thanks BC Golf for your recommendations and bookings.
Cheers,

Golf Course Reviews
Ross Marrington of Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada
I played Rivershore in the PGA of BC Pro-Am event this past August. Played with Fraser Mulholland and another Pro -Levi Arcega. I wish i could remember the other amateur friend of Levi's. I played well, shot an 86 with 3 double bogies, no birdies. Our team won and the amateurs picked up very nice Scotty Cameron Putters!
Richard Wouthuis of Fenwick, ON, Canada
The course was in passable condition. Tee boxes were unkept. Fairways were burnt in several places. Went to make the turn and I was prohibited from completing the round for reasons that were unclear. Apparently I paid for only 9 holes but it wasn't made clear when I started my round.
Customer Service = 1 out of 5
Course Condition = 2 out of 5
Course Layout = 2.5 out 5
Value = 1 out of 5
I recommend Pelham Hills just up the street. Better course layout and far better condition, superior customer service and the same or better price (depending on the time).
Riverview after 4 on weekends = $42
Pelham Hills after 4 on weekends = $30
Kurt Ball of Qualicum, British Columbia, Canada
It was great to play a course that is still in great shape even with the hot temperatures of late. The greens are fast and the fairways are lush. They have widened the fairway cuts and entrance ways to the greens since I last played it and it is both visually pleasing and well manicured. The day was great from the friendly greeting, to the complimentary range balls, on what has to be the best practice facility I have been on, to the great atmosphere on the deck following my round. It was well worth the $75.00 green fee and I can't wait to make a return visit. Well done Pheasant Glen!
Jake Bison of Fort Langley, British Columbia, Canada
Well laid out. Fast greens. Very challenging and narrow fairways

I played the Heritage for the first time on July 13, 2009, day after a heavy rainfall, with three guests and we found the course to be in excellent condition. (I am a member at a club in Ottawa that has reciprocal privileges at Blainviller). We played from the tips and were very impressed with the challenging and well designed layout. Each hole is a world unto itself featuring rolling bent grass fairways and (fast) greens, framed by mature trees. This is an excellent test for any player's "A" game and will prove to be a worthy venue for the upcoming Canadian Men's Amateur in August. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the course. It has a first class practice facility and clubhouse. I can't wait to play its sister course: the Royal. This course would easily earn 4 1/2 stars under the Golf Digest rating system.
Golf Course Hole in Ones
Michael Ahern of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Achieved a hole-in-ones on 2008-07-19 @
RIVERBEND GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB located in Richmond, ON, Canada
Hole: 11 | Length: 154 | Club Used: 8-Iron
|
My friend hit the green before me and his looked like it rolled to about 6 or 7 inches from the pin. (Turned out to be about 10 feet)
So I hit my eight iron and it starts out about 2 or 3 yards left of the pin and fades back towards the hole.
It bounced about 4 off the front of the green, landed on the green and rolled about 5 feet into the hole. |
