Carved out of the spectacular benchlands of the Kamloops Mountains that overlook the city, the Sun Rivers golf course, designed by Graham Cooke, is one of the few “true” desert courses in Canada. Offering just under 7,000 yards of memorable golf, players will experience a wide variety of holes which feature dramatic elevation changes, sagebrush, classic bunkering, natural sand dunes, wide bent grass fairways, gently contoured greens and majestic vistas.

The driving range offers five target areas from the bent grass tee deck (Currently under construction due to heavy rain fall 2014). Surrounded by panoramic vistas, native sage on the 2nd hole, expressive sand dunes on the 3rd, elevated tees on the 4th, along with five exquisite finishing holes, golfers are provided with some of the finest golf in North America.  The Sun Rivers golf course clubhouse is home to a fully equipped pro shop and the mouth-watering refreshments and cuisine of Hoodoos Restaurant overlooking the 18th fairway. Sun Rivers golf offers the ideal setting and venue for all skill levels and being located just five minutes from the downtown core  means golfers are out of the car and on the course that much sooner. Play more. Drive less.

Be sure to bring your camera as you navigate through the holes and the housing community it backs onto. The homes for the most part are set well back from the courses, do no need to feel nervous about errant tee shots. You will enjoy the big tee shot and elevation change on hole number 14! Lots of hang time, then your second shot will be critical, as the drop to green is both inviting and a tad intimidating to select the correct club.

June 17th 2019 notice - We have leased out our restaurant to Masons, (a local restaurateur) and they have decided not to open until 11:00am.  If there is a large group coming in, I can work with the restaurant and book them a breakfast if we know in advance.   This will be the same for lunch/dinner we can book them into a private room for their event. 

The Dunes golf course has been dubbed  "Nature's Golf Course in Kamloops, BC"

The Dunes golf course fairways carve through what was once the riverbed of the North Thompson River, creating a feel similar to that of links in Ireland. Wild fescue and wheat grass line the meticulously maintained greens make this nature's golf course.  This Graham Cooke designed Dunes golf course boasts 7131 yards and is home to Bill Bilton Jr's Golf Academy, making it suitable for anyone from beginners to seasoned pros.
