Carved out of the sunny benchlands at the base of Mounts Peter and Paul, Bighorn Golf & Country Club (formerly known as Sun Rivers Golf Resort) is one of the few “true” desert courses in Canada. Designed by celebrated golf course architect Graham Cooke and Wayne Carleton, Bighorn is the essence of exceptional golf; offering dramatic elevation changes, sagebrush, natural sand dunes, classic bunkering, wide bentgrass fairways, gently contoured greens and majestic vista

I Recommend This Course
Pin Placement- Greens
Pins were placed in Iron Man locations- confusing for sure. Greens were littered with Winter Kill- all other courses in Kamloops in this category are in excellent condition. It’s worth $60 for a cart and 18 no more no less.

Painfully slow
Womens night at the club, painfully slow round, waiting 10-15 on most tee boxes, no need for PGA tour putting protocol

Challenging and fun!
Bighorn is not an easy course with gap shots, and tricky greens.

Great First Round of Season
They are doing a bit of upgrading, so transition from first to second hole is a bit weird, but otherwise course is playing really well. Fairways are hard and ball will run long, but the greens are slow. Great first round and look forward to playing again!
