Tobiano Golf Course stretches across more than 1,000 acres of rugged terrain located at the heart of British Columbia's interior. Situated on the site of the historic Six Mile Ranch, a famous cattle ranch known for its Red Angus breed, the golf course offers a golfing experience unlike any other. It's the highest-ranking public golf course in B.C. and it's the sixth best public course in all of Canada. The beautiful landscape and its natural features inspired the Thomas McBroom design. McBroom also utilized the stunning views of the lakes and mountains that stretch from every direction. Notable holes include the no. 1 handicap hole, the intimidating par-5 eighth, and the trio of holes beginning with the fourth, all of which are par 4s. Tobiano is a golf course that is challenging from the intimidating first tee to the undulating green on the final hole.

Great links style course in semi desert setting...

Great links style course in semi desert setting with views of Kamloops Lake and surrounding mountainous terrain that would rival any golf course setting. This is a very challenging course in-spite of its generous fairways and large greens. Great practise facilities and the course is very well maintained. Great place to spend the day with friends or families.

Pace of Play

May 19/2017

Three groups ahead of us, who were on tour from other country were very slow. They had two slots vacant between them and us and yet we caught up with them at 7th hole. There after it was less than fun to play the remaining holes.

Spoke with the Marshal half way into the game about the slow play and were told that he already has asked those members. Marshal should have revisited to see if the pace actually improved, but we never saw him again.

Course challenging with breaktaking views

Loved the course, the fairways and greens in excellent condition. Lots of elevation, not suitable for walking. The Starter explained the course do's and dont's which helped tremendously. Would love to play again now that I know where to play my ball.

WOW

This may have been the most fun I have had on a golf course in a very long while! It is not for the feint of heart. There are huge elevation changes as the course winds up and down through the sagebrush with no two holes alike. Every green needs to be taken seriously as no putt is as simple as it may look. The suggestions provided by the cart GPS are invaluable but keep in mind that they may be for a different tee box than you are playing and adjust accordingly. The staff and local members were very friendly and helpful. I can hardly wait for a return visit.

A spectacular and challenging course

Tobiano is ranked as one of the best courses in Canada and I agree. The scenery is spectacular and the course is beautiful and challenging. The fairways are tight and the ball rolls a long way, sometimes off the fairway due to the side slopes. And the greens are fast and have a lot of break, often difficult to see. There are several significant forced carries across gullies, especially on the par 3's. The par 5 8th hole is particularly challenging on all three shots to the green. This is one of the best courses we have played in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia.

Thanks to all the staff cause we will be back.

Excellent experience

Great course conditions! Faraways are a good place to be, rough is very rough and a challenge to get out of. Greens are tricky and fun. Fantastic practice facilities to warm up after a drive. Friendly service and yummy food at the Restaurant.

We Drove 2 and a half hours, rented a condo just for Tobianno.

Golf trip 2016

11 dudes.

We planned for 36 holes from the beginning. It was a BIG day! First tee 930am. We played best ball from the blues/Spurs. Smart. This course will eat you up! We got to as a team scope some lines, hit some putts, and overall get a feeling. Smart.

Second round, Stroke play from the whites/Lake. Great on a few levels, white tees are very different than the first time around. Also! This course will eat you alive, playing from the whites is still tough enough. my handicap is 10ish

Fantastic views!

Top notch range!

Great GPS carts, and cart girls.

Like 8 holes that are epicly unique and challenging!

I will never forget our day at Tobianno! Never!

great job Tobianno. Kinda outside of town.

We air BNB'd. that was our only option for accom.

A course everyone must try

Tobiano is my favorite course I have played to date. From the views to the immaculate conditions there is little to dislike about this course. It was one of the best conditions I have ever played, the fairways felt like greens at most courses. Expect a challenge though as there are a few gaps to hit over, some small fairways and a lot of going up hill and downhill. None of those detract from the experience as the scenery takes you away with wonderful views from every hole. The par 3's are imaginative and very fun to play. This is a must play for any avid golfer.

Tobiano Golf Course

Very few courses can generate excitement in golfers just by driving onto the property. Since it's opening in 2007, Tobiano has deservedly received every accolade heaped upon it. Set along the banks of Lake Kamloops, Tobiano provides golfers of every ability spectacular views, exceptional routing, generous fairways, fantastic bunkering, roller coaster greens, great clubhouse & practice facilities. I've been lucky enough to have played Tobiano no fewer than two dozen times since 2008 and it never fails to challenge me on every level. If it wasn't a 9 hour drive from home, I'd play this course every day & twice on Sundays. Thomas McBroom has created a golfing masterpiece and it's called Tobiano.
