The Dunes at Kamloops is truly nature’s golf course. Lush fairways carve through the sand that was once the riverbed of the North Thompson giving way to dunes that transform into vast waste areas and challenging bunkers. The Dunes is proud of being tournament ready every day, with each fairway leading to a meticulously groomed green. This championship course meets the needs of any level of golfer offering a variety of tee boxes to suit any desired level of difficulty. Come test nature’s golf course

Absent course Marshall

This was our first time playing at The Dunes. Beautifully manicured course however there is absolutely no way to map out the play ahead. There are many rolling hills which obscure the players view. No view platforms to help with getting a view of the fairway ahead. No picture signs or maps st the tee boxes and (this was weird) the score cards provided did have a course diagram but impossible to read due to the tiny print of the tee numbers. We used our phone camera to magnify this and discovered that the numbers on the diagram.were obscured somehow. It was very frustrating. The price point for green fees is approximately the same as many championship courses in BC so we did have higher expectations. We will most likely choose to golf elsewhere in future.

Nice course, but brutally slow pace of play

Five hour round of golf, and we were surrounded by carts! Where are the course marshals? This course doesn't seem to have any. Players behind hit into us - TWICE. Nice track though, decent greens (does anyone repair ball marks anymore?!) although the bunkers were like hitting out of wet concrete. I'll come back on day where there are fewer golfers who need a lesson in golf edicate, and golf itself. By the way, please send that lady who "welcomed" in the pro shop us to golf charm school. How to put this nicely? She could use a brush up on how to cheerfully welcome the green fee players - that's what keeps courses like the Dunes open.

Hi Karl3608843, we appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. However, we're truly sorry to hear your recent experience with us may not have met expectations. Unfortunately, our staff was not able to rake the bunkers due to the overnight rain, which affected other course conditions and pace of play on the day you played as well. We appreciate your patience & understanding given the weather, but would like to invite you back for a better experience with 2 complimentary green fees. Please reach out to our Director of Golf, Bill Bilton, at (250) 579-3300 to discuss these concerns further, and we hope you'll give us another try in the future.

Great all around course

Purchased a VIP membership this year, golf 1-2 times on the average per week, rarely have a issue booking a day or 2 in advance . Carts are good although the course is easily walkable. Staff friendly and helpful, cart girl friendly and always has a smile. Took some lessons earlier this year ( took some a few years ago as well) Bill is quite a good teacher ,spends the time with you to make sure you are doing it correctly from the start. I like golfing Dunes ,for the money you can't beat it ( VIP membership deal). Look forward to going soon.

Man-made mounding a bit of overkill

The Dunes was probably my least favorite of the six courses I played in Kamloops. That's not entirely a knock on the course, but more a testament to the depth and quality of the golf in the region.

Man-made mounding defining fairways and separating holes just isn't the style of architecture I'm looking to play. To me, it symbolizes the artificial design characteristics that failed golf in the 1990s-2000s before minimalism made a triumphant return.

That said, there's nothing wrong with this course. It's perfectly playable and enjoyable. For the price point - generally less than $50 Canadian - and what you get condition-wise, it's actually a strong value. I'm guessing that's why most golfers give it four and five stars.

OK Course - Friendly Staff

This course has lots of man-made mounds and man made rolling fairways which make it imperative to keep the ball in the fairway and even when you do, you can have awkward side hill and downhill lies. There is lots of tall grass that catches wayward shots and can slow down play. The greens were in great shape and the fairway conditions were OK. The staff was very nice. These types of courses with all the extreme man-made terrain are not my cup of tee.

The course played well. I played well. My only negative is the condition of the on course washrooms. Dirty, unkept, weeds in the flower pots, weeds at the entrances. Unfortunate to me as the mark in this area.

Slow

We started 20 minutes late. The course Marshall didn’t start anyone on time. We were bottlenecked all day. We left after 14 holes because we were already over the 4 hour mark. Price was fine. Course was in decent shape. Greens were fine, a couple with some winter stuff on them still. People were driving carts on the greens and there was no thought to pace of play.
