Canyon-carved drama with lake views from every hole—Canada's most thrilling public golf masterpiece.

About the Course

Tobiano is a desert mirage carved into rugged benchland overlooking Kamloops Lake, where Thomas McBroom's architectural genius transforms raw natural drama into championship golf. Every hole commands lake and mountain views, with the course threading through sage-lined canyons and forcing daunting carries over deep arroyos—playable yet beautifully punishing. The conditioning is immaculate, the greens true and lightning-fast, and the Aleutian winds that sweep across the lake add unpredictable theatre to an already cinematic experience. This is golf that leaves you breathless, whether from the vistas or the challenge itself.

Located 20 minutes west of Kamloops on the historic Six Mile Ranch, Tobiano opened in 2008 to immediate acclaim, earning Golf Digest's Best New Course in Canada and consistent top-10 rankings among North American public courses. The par-3s alone—featuring hole 7's signature cliffhanger shot over a canyon and hole 15's ace opportunity overlooking the lake—deserve the journey. The clubhouse is a striking architectural statement with full-service restaurant, and the practice facility ranks among the best in western Canada.

What makes Tobiano special for groups is the pure camaraderie that emerges when five friends stand together on the 1st tee, take in the vista, and realize they're about to play something genuinely rare. This isn't a course designed for ego—it's designed for story. Every group leaves with shared moments: the guy who birdied hole 7, the tee shot into the wind that traveled 40 fewer yards than expected, the lake breeze on your face as you walk to the green. That's Tobiano.

Why It's Great for Groups
  • Every hole frames sweeping Kamloops Lake and mountain views that rival any destination course globally—photography opportunities at every turn
  • Signature hole 7 demands a high-arcing tee shot over a ravine with a 109-yard carry to a tight green—unforgettable test of nerve and skill
  • Five distinct par 3s and five par 5s create tactical variety; McBroom's routing through natural canyons makes the course play beautifully while remaining walkable by cart
  • On-property restaurant and bar with exceptional service; groups can end nine holes with lunch on the patio overlooking the lake
  • Ranked #11 Public Course in Canada (Score Golf) with consistent Top 10 finishes in BC rankings—championship quality at daily-fee pricing
