Rating 71.2

The Rise Golf Club is situated 400 meters above Okanagan Lake, providing stunning views of the water and surrounding valley. Fred Couples paired up with Gene Bates to design the course, skillfully manipulating fairway width, landing area design, and hazard placement in order to make a golf course that both a seasoned professional could enjoy as well as a high handicapper. The landscape's natural wetlands, including Moose Pond on the 12th hole, were carefully preserved and incorporated into the design. The par-3 15th hole is the course's trademark. This hole plays from an elevated tee that sits 100 feet above the green, which is also framed by a large pond. Opened in 2008, The Rise Golf Club is one of the area's newest but it has quickly become a local favorite.

Pleasant Surprise

Great afternoon. I've wanted to play The Rise ever since moving to Vernon last year. I had heard mixed reviews. Two couples golfed and we had a great time. The views are spectacular, the holes are challenging. A few hidden holes but we struggled through. The GPS was great and helpful hints on each hole. The course was in good shape.
We all look forward to playing it again.

Great condition, great views

This mountainside course is very interesting with many uphills and downhills and elevated tees, you rarely see the other fairways, The slopes, the tall rough, and sometimes narrow fairways makes it challenging. Would definitely go back.

Great course, great weather, amazing views

This course is fantastic, it has some of the best views in the okanagan valley and the staff is awesome all around. I have played the rise a few times over the last 4 years and I have never been disapointed. The course challenges you to play a "smart" game.

Best condition course in the Okanagan

The course was in great shape from april to October by far the best greens in the Okanagan! The views and wildlife were unreal! If you don't play this course you are missing out! The staff was polite and very helpful! If you like pure fast greens I would head up to The Rise!

The player must utilize the terrain to execute shots and play well.

The Golf Club at Rise has the best views of any course in the Okanagan Valley, period. To score well, one must think his way around the course. Accuracy and precision trump distance and power. And did I mention how beautiful it is up here? As with all courses, first time players will benefit from playing with someone who has played the course before. If you come to the Okanagan and don't play The Rise you will miss out on a great experience.
