The Dunes at Kamloops is a fantastic round of golf in the true links style. Her mounded fairways and immaculate greens make for an unforgettable golf experience. You simply cannot say you have played the Thompson/Okanagan without playing The Dunes.
Runner-up for Golf Digest’s best new course in Canada in 1997 and winner of the Platinum Award for excellence by Canada’s Golf Ranking Magazine, The Dunes at Kamloops is also the host of the Canadian Tour’s Qualifying school.
Right off the first tee you will see why The Dunes at Kamloops has won such praise from professionals and amateurs alike.
Stretching an impressive 608 yards from the back tees this daunting par five plays with the prevailing wind so birdies are not an unreachable goal. A solid drive and a well struck second shot down the left side of this undulating fairway will set you up nicely for your approach to the green. Depending on the wind and your lie you will likely be faced with anything from a seven iron to a wedge. The right side of this two tiered green is guarded by both a large bunker and a massive pine tree. Line and club selection are therefore crucial. Golfers taking the wrong line or landing on the wrong level will have to scramble to save par.
Golfers finding the right line and level will be left with a putt that is sure to roll true on the Dune’s immaculate greens. It is precisely this pattern of rewarding good shots and punishing errant shots that makes the Dunes at Kamloops such a great addition to any Kamloops Golf Vacation.
Be sure to add the Dunes at Kamloops, a fantastic links course, to your golf vacation plans. |
