The Rise Golf Club

the whites are easier than the reds. A few too many blind shots. If you're not sure keep left on most par 4 holes.

The golf experience here was fantastic. The pro shop staff was very friendly and the course was fabulous with some tremendous views. I will be making this course a regular stop on my visits to the area.

Fun scenic golf course. Tons of elevation changes. A few blind shots so it helps to play it more than once even with the gps system

Couldn't turn up a 2nd visit with the great discount through Golfnow. For those using the Golf Logix app, hole #1 is #10. Was able to improve my score on this 2nd round much to my satisfaction. Highly recommend this course if you want some fun and a challenge. Definity not for beginners because pretty much anything beyond the rough on the fairway sides is automatically a lost ball.

Great view of the valley below and many intriguing holes taking advantage of the diverse terrain. Par 4's that look like par 5's but you can get amazing shots thanks to steep hills that lets your ball roll forever.

Pro Shop staff not great. At the completion of golf were informed carts not allowed in parking lot and the two ladies had to pack their clubs uphill to the parking lot. They will not return. Lots off other courses to play in this area where they are treated better.

This course has several sets ot Tee's depending on the level of difficulty wanted. The views of the valley and the lake below are spectacular in places. Also, the course has many interesting and visually pleasing holes. Best to play it for the first time with someone who knows their way around it!!

Cart GPS alleviates problem of blind shots, for the most part. One of the most scenic courses in the Southern Interior region. Does need some maintenance in pock marks in greens and in some small areas by paths, all possibly due to end of season.

A great but challenging golf course - it's a "must play" in the akanagan valley.

I have played the Rise many times in the past few years. Spectacular vistas. Very challenging and in great shape. I have heard from low handicap golfers that they don't care for the number of blind shots. However for me,the blind shots are an extra challenge and the vistas far out weigh the blind shots.
I love the fact that there are not any houses etc. built up around the fairways, it all makes for a great day of fun ,scenery and great golf. There is even a good chance you may see some wildlife.

Far too many blind tee shots, and this course is too difficult for a 20 handicapper. The group following us were rude and offensive even though we were playing at a good pace(under four hours), and it was obvious we were waiting for the group in front of us. The starter was very friendly, but other staff ignored us. Won't be back!!

The only issue I have with the course was that on Monday (Aug. 26th) everything was great as far as conditions where concerned. We went to the course yesterday (Aug. 28) and we find the practice green along with the other 18 holes just had their greens 'punched' the day before. Under normal circumstances you as a golfer are notified when this maintenance is gong to happen plus usually are offered a significant discount to play..neither happened ...we are schedule to play The Rise again on Friday (Aug. 29)...all times where booked with out any notification of the course condition(s).

It was difficult to concentrate on the game, the views were stunning. We laughed as we played one hole after uphill, what goes up must come down, and it did.

The course is very challenging with sloping fairways demanding accuracy. The views are stunning including both rolling hills and the lake. The course is very well maintained and we liked it so much we golfed it twice during our 2 week vacation in the Okanagan. Really friendly staff, not much of a clubhouse yet though.

Was well worth it, very good layout and very challenging. Played with the Associate Pro and really enjoyed it. Nice to watch great golf. Some blind shots that made it a bit difficult. Some very nice holes and the course was in good condition. Would play again.

Every hole seems to offer a different challenge and experience. The LARGE GPS screens helped in finding your way around the blind shots. Greens were great shape readable and predictable
Fairways and markers good. Traps could be better but OK for this setting. Overall all 4 of us had a great day and we are 10 - 20 handicapers

We decided that this course was really designed by Clint Eastwood.
THE GOOD: interesting layout with panoramic lake and valley views from many holes.
Tour caliber greens.
GPS on carts.(thank goodness)
If you're looking for a challenge, this is the place.
THE BAD: WAY too many blind shots.
Yes, you have a cart but be prepared to do some hiking.
The food cart was broken and the kiosk at the turn had run out of sandwiches
No drinking water on the course.
THE UGLY: Although the course itself is in great condition, the complex has an unfinished feel with a temporary clubhouse and portapotties throughout. The cart paths are paved but there is an abundance of dirt access roads going all over the place, I guess to facilitate future housing construction.
MOVIE REVIEW: not for everyone but if you're in the area give it a look. It might not make you're top ten list but you'll never forget the story.

Breathtaking scenery with great layout,
with many tee off boxes to choose from.

Amazing views, super fast greens, and an amazing hot deal through golfnow

I found it challenging but fair. You need to keep your shots in the fairway. The greens are excellent. We did experience some slow play but it didn't seriously detract from the enjoyment of the game. The golfers that we met while waiting to proceed were all very friendly and courteous. The staff that we did interact with were very pleasant and were very helpful. All in all a very nice experience.
