Nice Course

Great walking course, nice to not have too many houses to worry about, shame about the 5th hole being moved way up to avoid the new homes on Westsyde road though. Greens roll nicely and fairways do have flat landing areas (just have to hit them). I really like the practice facility, hitting of real grass and decent range balls make this a great location. Food was meh, but I knew that going in. Great price of $35 all the time but even better with GOLFNOW.

Great fall golf

I had played this course some years ago and do not remember it being as great as it is now. The greens and fairways are in excellent condition. There have been some small changes to the layout which I think are an improvement. The wildlife was an extra bonus although the visiting bear did not make an appearance during our round.

Excellent Value

This is a nice, links-style golf course. The fairways are hard and fast with rolling mounds. It was not necessarily the greenest course, but links courses are not. The greens rolled smooth and true.
I had a fun round and would certainly recommend this course to a friend stopping by in Kamloops.

Over All great deal

Back 9 seemed to be Lush and in great Shape, The front is Burnt and in bad Shape. Friday afternoon and there was 4-5 groups on the entire course, Not sure how this place stays open?
Beer cart Girl left at 4:00 (can't blame her) and can't explain why they don't fill Golf Now Hot Deals when there is Nobody out there,
Miss Managed,
But all and all a Challanging course!!

Challenging and Fun

Very friendly staff, took the time to talk us through the course with advice about how to play a couple of the holes. Lots of opportunity to practice uphill and downhill stance. Greens and fairways were in good condition, although recent days of heavy rainfall resulted in some standing water. Thoroughly enjoyed the course.

One of my favorite Kamloops courses

Always enjoy a day at the Dunes. Very affordable, especially when nailing the discounted tee times through GOLFNOW. Wish more Kamloops courses would be on it. Hopefully the Dunes gets the first hole temporary green back in order. Disapointed the food and beverage cart didn't make an appearance. Was happy with the course, weather and score...was a good day!

Great Value

I booked on Golf Now, great price for 18 holes, it's a good walk around for 18 holes, especially carry you bag. From tee to green, there are few holes that can cause you problems, the greens were a little too firm, but otherwise they roll fairly true, I've seen them a little softer and faster, but apart from that, it was in good shape considering it was March 27th.
I'd be back for the deal we got, $14.99 for 18 holes, a great bargain.
We played off of the whites, the photo I've shared, it's a par 4 on the 5th hole, it plays about 270 yards or so, I drove the green that day and left myself a putt pin high inside of 3 feet, walked off with my eagle!

Cold put Fun!

My Son and I had a great day playing the Dunes. It was chilly (8 Celsius) out. However, there were very few people playing that day. So we moved along very quickly. The course was in great shape for this time of the year. All the greens were in great shape except the 1st hole which is under repair.
