Will, we golfed Salmon Arm 3 years ago with a local resident and his wife who'd moved out there from our hometown the previous year. They love the climate out there, and the golf courses. We all enjoyed the course. Greywolf at Panorama is a Doug Carrick design (his first in western Canada I believe) and supposedly has out of this world views.
David, we golfed Kokanee Springs 2 years ago. Really liked it. It's a classic type course, interesting use of the land, nicely laid out. A very popular course, consider its remoteness.
Other courses we've golfed in southern B.C. include Balfour (Les Furber), Golden (Furber 9/Bill Newis 9), Copper Point (Gary Browning), Trickle Creek (Furber), St. Eugene Mission (Furber), and Bootleg Gap (Furber).
On the way out to Penticton, we're considering stopping at Cranbrook again and playing the "short" 9 at Bootleg Gap, and/or the 18 at Castlegar.
