The water feature will distract you from the correct club selection on this testy par 3 hole. Shuswap golf is simply not complete without a stop here. The fairways were superbly manicured year round!
Talking Rock Resort Golf Course: Talking Rock opened in 2007 to rave reviews. The course is situated on the lake shore of the Little Shuswap. This course is extremely user friendly for all golfers. The front nine is fairly subdued, however as you realize the elevation climbs after hole 10, the views become almost the primary focus. At Talking Rock, you will find a few demanding tee-shots and approach irons, club selection is critical here. Once you plateau, take it all in and enjoy the views, maybe spot a white tailed deer. Mother nature created a beautiful Shuswap golf setting where all the 4 courses have a distinct flavor.
