Just published and TGC Approved! Nestled in the hills outside British Columbia's Okanagan Region, you'll find Rumbler Valley. Accessible only by helicopter, this is truly a high end golfing and fishing getaway. Playing 7,321 yards from the tips (recommended), this scenic course winds it's way up and down Rumbler Valley, offering picturesque views along the way. A traditional par 72 (36+36) layout, the design focused on having shot options. Driver is never taken out of your hand, however several holes offer different angles of attack should you choose to select something less than driver off the tee. All of the par 3's vary in length so you won't hit the same club into a par 3 more than once per round, and the 4 pin placements were carefully selected for a variety of approach shots to keep a 4 round society event interesting and will lengthen and shorten holes depending on which pin location you choose. The par 5's are all reachable in low wind, however depending on the wind direction and power, it can stretch one or two of them out for a bigger challenge. I tried to balance out challenge with scoring opportunities, such as the driveable (wind dependent) par 4 9th. Missing the fairway on most holes results in a scramble to achieve par. Being a console designer, all the grass/planting work is truly a labour of love and I'd really love to hear how you all enjoyed your round and any comments! karma4u if you have any time, not being on a PC I just can't get the type of images that you can, and I'd be forever grateful if you had time to snap a few shots of this course I poured over 100 hours into! Thanks so much everyone and enjoy your rounds out there.

Nice track here. Some great views and some quality planting—I'm a console guy too, so I get it, lol. Some unique use of standing water and mountains to frame up some of the holes too. A nice set of closing holes, had a decent round going but dropped a few balls in the water on 16 & 17. Good job bud.

Thanks for taking the time to give it a go, and glad to hear you enjoyed yourself! 16&17 can be tricky especially depending on the wind!

Congrats on the "Tour Worthy" status Kent. Here's three more. Cheers. www.tgctours.com/Course/Details/25604 Thanks so much for taking the time to do that, it's always cool to see the angles that I just can't capture on a console! Again, much appreciated.

Loved it! Lots of risk/reward that I'm never going to shy away from. Got it wrong a couple of times, but that's golf. The climb and run back down the valley is wonderfully executed. The plot looks very rugged rom above i.imgur.com/YdDxwuz.jpgClubhouse with lake frontage is very nice i.imgur.com/xQ5Ivfj.jpg along with the marked swimming area. The sightline off the 1st looks very impressive i.imgur.com/jScGTuy.jpg and gives you a glimpse of what's to come. The water works are done very well i.imgur.com/5P0oBfy.jpg. That creek looks amazing and culminating in the falls I found Marty frolicking in the top end of the paddock i.imgur.com/Op6V4z6.jpgI can't believe I three putted the 18th... Enjoyed my round and I'll be back

sandgroper thanks so much for taking the time to play and providing such a detailed response! I'm glad you found Marty Moose hiding up the stream, I hid a few fellows like him around the property! I appreciate the imagines you were able to provide, as I never am able to see many of those angles on my Xbox!

I like some quirky things around properties. I try to put some Easter eggs on my works. Most are here for the golf and don’t even see things in plain view.

sandgroper That's a great point and I think it's a cool idea to hide some Easter eggs - they ended up being quite hidden on this track however I just finished a 4 round society event on it, and we set the lighting for different times of day and at high noon all the hidden creatures came out to play!
