Ross, thanks so much for organizing our BC golf holiday. We had a great time in spite of the weather!

St Eugene Mission is a lovely resort - food was good and staff were friendly. The resort has wonderful ambience and it was very clean and totally non-smoking.

We golfed at St. Eugene the first day - sunny and warm - great course. Wednesday it sprinkled on and off all day but we enjoyed Trickle Creek - very challenging course and beautiful views. Would love to go back when the weather is better. We passed on Shadow Mountain as it poured rain and we thought the course would be really soggy - and so would we. We asked about a rain check but they said we would need to discuss with you - based on our previous conversation, I gather that unless they closed the course, we are out of luck? (Editors note - Yes this typically the case however we will get Donna 2 rain checks)

On the whole though, it was a great getaway. Thanks again for your help in putting it together.

Ross - I'm sorry it's taken a week to write this letter, but the week since we came home from holidays has been very busy as we expected it would. We both wanted to write to say what a fantastic golf holiday we had, and to thank you for setting it all up for us. We are already looking forward to doing something similar next year. We both think that we would do it a little earlier next year - maybe the last couple of weeks of Sept - the Okanagan was having unseasonably cold weather and there were 3 or 4 days where we had frost delays. However, we had sunshine most of the time, and only one day of rain. A minor hitch was a couple of days with no hot water or heat in our suite at Playa Del Sol. However the woman we dealt with - Leanne was extremely pleasant and was ready to move us if needed - fortunately the problem was fixed and we were able to stay in the suite. We were very pleased with the accommodations in Kamloops - the room at the Hampton was lovely. And the Playa Del Sol suite was gorgeous - we were upgraded to a 2 bedroom suite with a fabulous view and we were able to have all our meals in comfort in the suite. Our son came up for the Thanksgiving weekend and there was plenty of space for him. Possibly as a result of how nice this room was, we were a little disappointed when we first got to the Surfside Hotel. We were in the old part of he hotel, and although the room was very clean, it was very basic, there was no view, and very little soundproofing. However, after the first night we checked with the manager, and chose to pay extra to upgrade to a suite in the new part of the hotel with a stunning view over the lake and with a fireplace (which was very appreciated after a day of golfing in October!).

So as I said before, we are already excited about next year. We think that we would go for 2 weeks again, but would probably look at staying in only 2 places and would choose somewhere like the Playa or the suites at the Surfside with a kitchen. (Anne would like to try some other similar accommodations next time to allow us to experience different places). It is definitely worth it to us to spend a little more on the accommodations to get somewhere a little upscale. We absolutely loved the golf and the courses you helped us choose were great, but next year I think we would plan for 3 days of golf in a row and a day off in between so that we have time to travel around and do and see other things. So once again - thank you for a very memorable trip.

Sorry for the delay. Overall we were very impressed with the whole trip. We only had one little hangup at PGA Nichlaus Course. The GPS system didn\'t work, and our cart died about the 5th hole and the marshall we asked for help said he would send out a cart. Help never arrived and we were pushed bumped the last 4 holes. (the cart would power up on a downslope then lose power).

We liked all the courses. The hotel worked well and the \"breakfast included\' is a real bonus. We will efinitely use your services again. I will be in touch again soon. Thanks again. Reid

The suite in Panorama we stayed in was beautiful, it had a great view. We only had one hiccup, they had a scheduled power outage from 7:00 am to 12:00 noon on one of the days we stayed, we were on the 5th floor and when trying to get outside, none of their emergency lighting worked, we had to use our cel phones to try and find the way out of the building. We did mention it to their head office.

The golf courses were very well maintained. The staff at Fairmont Mountainside Resort was best, excellent customer service in pro shop and on the course. We loved the golf and had great weather.

Thank you for all your help in booking our holiday. We will be contacting you again next year same time to schedule our annual golf vacation. Taralyn

We were a group of twelve golfers and made Salmon Arm our home base. We stayed at the Podollan Inn where we we treated like kings. Their hospitality was great. We played Salmon Arm Golf Course, Hyde Mountain Mara Lake in Sicamous, Talking Rock in Chase and Canoe Creek in Salmon Arm. All the courses were in great shape and the employees from the Proshop to the greenkeepers were friendly and helpful, A trip of a life time. Thanks Ross

This is the 2nd time we have used Ross and Danny to organize our Kelowna and Palm Springs (PGA West) golf trips. These guys are fantastic to deal with and everything turned out perfect! Thank you for all your work on our trip. We certainly recommend anyone and have already recommended people to use your services.

Hi Ross,

Had time to digest the Kamloops trip. I would like to start off by saying thank you for the excellent organization on your part. The Ramada personnel and service were great. No problems of any sort and they were very accommodating at breakfast time.

The 3 golf courses (Rivershore, Sunrivers and Dunes) had all the carts and names printed..... that was very classy!! Also the personnel at all the courses were very friendly and polite!!

By the way, we got very lucky with the weather .. just got a little wet on Tuesday but all in all very fortunate.

Thanks again and it was a pleasure doing business with you. John Nakamoto

We just flew home from Kelowna today and I want to thank you for setting up a great trip for us. The Manteo Resort was an awesome place to stay and they treated us really well.The weather was challenging...we even got a few minutes of snow on Tuesday at Kelowna Springs...but we still enjoyed the courses. Another year we may choose to come the last week of April to catch a bit more spring!

All of the personal at the courses were great to us as well. BCgolfguide.com seems to be held in high regard by the people out there. The new course, The Club at Tower Ranch, is definitely a winner...we enjoyed our round there and will add it to our list of must play courses. Thanks again for setting up our trip. You did a great job!

Hi Ross,

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how PERFECT everything was. The four courses we played were truly awesome! Especially the Ridge course at Predator and Tower Ranch. Tower is going to be truly something special in a few years once they have GPS and some of the “resort” luxuries. The cottages at Predator could not possibly have been any better. We had everything we needed there and the views and luxury were the icing on an incredible 4 day trip. We are ready to book again for next year. I would like the same cottages except next year we will probably play all 4 rounds at predator and never have to leave our cottages the whole time. I can’t tell you how amazing it was to finish the round and be back at our room within a minute, walk in while still wearing your golf shoes and pour a drink. Then sit on the balcony and watch (and heckle and cheer) the groups finishing out on 18. As usual you did a perfect job with the arrangements and everything went off without a hitch. I don’t know how you managed to keep the rain away as it was all around us but we never got wet and even got a bit of a tan in the process. Keep up the good work and we look forward to seeing you at the golf show and then again next year in Kelowna.

Hi Ross,

Just wanted to say thanks for arranging everything. The trip was great and all the course were awsome and accommodations was great as well. The Prestige is really nice. Loved Predator and Kokanee Springs. Thinking about a short trip at the end of summer maybe to Kelowna for a golf trip (2 nights) (Bear, Quail & Predator). Randall

We booked our group of 12 with BCgolfguide.com to Kelowna this past May. The trip was great and we even had a shuttle to take us to all the courses, i highly recommend this. Thanks again Ross for taking care of us.

Just wanted to say everything turned out very well for our Shuswap Trip. The Podollan Hotel rooms by the pool rocked and we were able stroll around to each others units as we pleased! The suite was a little tight for 10 guys playing poker, but we managed.

They brought us tables and chairs and were very relaxed about everything. Oh the restaurant food there was awesome! I believe the restaurant was named Jax? In addition, the courses were also great and looked after us well. C. Ellis

Hi Ross, Just to let you know that our golf outing in Kamloops was a complete succes. The Hampton treated us well and provided a mini-suite in one of the rooms for our 'post-game review'. Rivershore gave us four pictures of beer on the house because of a 25 minute delay on our t-time. We all enjoyed The Dunes and managed to escape with only one hole of rain. The highlight for all of us was Tobiano. The weather was perfect, the course is spectacular and we all agreed it is a 'class act'. We will definitely be using your services next September in the Kelowna area. On behalf of the Yumper group, thanks for all your help. Best Regards, Bob

Ross, Thanks again for setting everything up this weekend\'s Kamloops trip. Your system is super user-friendly and efficient. No complaints.
The boys had a great time. Everyone said they would be sure to use the service again when setting up future trips. Regards, Dan.

Good morning Ross. Just a short note to inform you that the package you provided to the seven golfers from the lower mainland was a great success.

Everything went smoothly, without a hitch. We enjoyed a sunny round of golf at Tobiano. The wind got up for the last four holes and cooled it off, but nothing compared to what it might have been.

Wednesday was cooler and rainy in Kamloops, but the sun came out when we arrived at Talking Rock. Played the entire round without one drop of rain. All the golfers enjoyed that course, commenting that it was more \'player friendly\' than Tobiano, and held much different but very beautiful scenery. Eagle Point did not disappoint on Thursday morning, and they all left having enjoyed their trip into the interior.

Thanks again. Bill Brown

Ross, I just wanted to say what a great time we all had in Kelowna at the Manteo Resort and I thank you for making it all possible. Everything worked out as you had laid it out for us for golf course check in. Many thanks, Sharon.

Ross and Co.

Once again, a flawless execution. I called with the days we had available and the courses we wanted to play. BC Golfguide lined up the rooms and rounds for our foursome within a few hours and we were off within the next couple days. Played The Rise, The Ridge, Canoe Creek and Tobiano in three days!
Great vacation. Thank you for your service
Will call again in the Fall.

Ross,
Just wanted to thank you for putting the golf trip together.We just returned last night and all 4 of us had great time.

Predator Ridge was the hi-lite as the golf and the accommodations were 1st class.We already discussed coming back next year when the Ridge course opens.

I strongly recommend paying the extra $$ and staying at Predator Resort. The golf course was perfect for a low handicapper as well as high one.The practice facilities,the food,and the staff were as good as I've seen, even the unpredictable weather was only a minor
inconvenience and it gave us an excuse to check out the Fitness Ctr after the round,which was a bonus.

The Rise was an interesting course,with incredible views but I don't think I would play it again as there were too many blind shots and strange holes.The last 4 holes were my favorite, even though I incurred a couple of penalty strokes. I'd only recommend it to low handicappers and short straight hitters.The staff & treatment was excellent.

Kelowna Springs was ok and it was nice to play an easier course on the last day. Thanks again Rick & the guys

Read More ...

Ross,

Another great trip in the books, thanks to you. Although I did manage to lose our three round low-net tournament by one stroke, which still sticks in my craw.

But the accommodations were good again, and the courses - wonderful. Tower Ranch and Black Mountain were delightful. Our final round was at Black Mountain, and the course was in great shape, the staff were friendly, and the clubhouse an excellent place to wrap up the proceedings.

Our third consecutive fantastic trip booked through bcgolfguide.com!

Thank you again for fixing the shuttle at the last minute. I know that it was not for want of effort on your part, and I appreciate your diligence in helping correct the problem for us.

We will likely return to the Okanagan next year, but I think we will be looking for different accommodations in future. Perhaps a couple multi-bedroom condos at the same complex or a rental house with enough beds to have our own deck space/patio, and perhaps a barbecue.

Further, the Delta Grand, though the rooms are fantastic and beds great - they don\'t have Golf Channel. As our trip always coincides with the Open, in future we will need access to the highlight loop so we can keep abreast of these important matters.

Hi Ross,

Just sending off another much deserved thank you to yourself for our recent Kelowna golf getaway last weekend. As usual, it was spectacular and everything went off without any glitches, etc. The weather even was surprising good with just one small shower over 4 rounds. All the courses were in mint condition and our guys thought they were in heaven each and every course!!!! We had one of our guys bail on the whole trip the night before....but it seemed to work much better with just 4 golfers as you can imagine. Thanks so much again for the excellent service you provide us each and every year. Looking forward to talking to you next year when we get to do it all over again!!! Thanks, Scott

PS. We are thinking of organizing a winter excursion as well.....perhaps Phoenix/ Palm Springs???? Do you or could you arrange something like that. It most likely won\'t be this winter but 2012 and beyond for sure.

Danny thanks for organizing this trip to Palm Springs and working with me.

You have gained a new loyal customer

August 1st 2010

Just wanted to express my thanks once again for our recent golf excursion to Kamloops which you had a huge hand in making it one of our best ever!!! The weather was amazing...33-35 C everyday and what can I say about Tobiano...probably one of my top 2 courses I have ever played ( same goes for the rest of our group ) Some tougher holes than others but the whole experience was unreal!! I will be in contact with you in April of 2011 to make this all happen once again. More than likely back to Kelowna but we\'ll see!?! As a group, we are talking about making this a bi-annual thing but you know how that works with wives, etc.....it\'s a \"work in progress\".

Thanks again Ross, Scott Torget

Hi Ross!!

Thank you so much for setting this all up for us, we had a great time, great weather and all the courses were in really nice shape! Our favorite was Balfour but we enjoyed all of the courses as they were really different from each other.

Thanks for organizing the golf Ross. We had a great time dispite the very chilly weather. We would all like to do Black Mtn again when it\'s warm and not so windy and snowy. We did enjoy The Rise and Canoe Creek as well. Very much spring conditions. We also loved the hotel in Salmon Arm (Podollan Inn) but can\'t say we were really taken with Kelowna\'s Accent Inn. Hope to be out that way again in the summer. (it will be summer some time won\'t it?)

Hey Ross. I thought I would drop you a line and let you know the golf trip was great. Canoe Creek was a great suggestion I probably enjoyed that the most out all 3 courses it was in mint condition.

The hotel was fabulous and they were great treated us very well. Thanks again for all the help and I will be in touch in regards to next years tourney.

I wanted to say thanks once again for setting up our golf trip this past weekend. It was awesome as always. A little rain on the Friday but the rest of the weekend turned out great. Thanks for the excellent service you and your company provide....it's outstanding!!!! When I did have any questions or anything else to do with the trip, your response was immediate and very professional.
Talk to you next year Scott - Lower Mainland BC

I've been meaning to contact you, just to give you the 'thumbs up' on our holiday package in Kelowna. The Coast Capri was a great place to stay, close to everything. We encountered a bit of drizzle/rain the first two days, but nothing to hold us back from golfing. We were very happy with the courses we played; and their hospitality was wonderful...particularly Sunset Ranch - I'm just sorry we didn't plan that day to stay there to eat, they seemed to have been the most friendly, and accommodating.

Hi Ross,

Just saying to you from me and my wife that we had a great time at Salmon Arm and playing golf and relaxing at the beaches. Thank you very much and we will be looking to do this again and having you set it up in the future.


Read More ...

Thank you for arranging our Kelowna trip for us. The Accent Inn was in a great location and the beds very comfortable and clean.

We enjoyed the courses you picked (Sunset Ranch, Black Mnt and Shannon Lake). So many nice courses there, loved the scenery and there was a nice breeze on each of them that made the heat more bearable. We headed to the lake after every game which was refreshing.

We will keep your number for sure for any future golf trips.

Ross

Just to let you know how things went last week end (April 15th 2012). After encountering snow, rain, sleet and sun on my way up to Kelowna I arrived to sunny skies.

Got to Gallaghers Canyon Golf early teed off 20 min early which was a good thing as we had a slower group in front and may not have made it before night fall. Course was just like you said fairways were brownish with the greens being slooow instead of putters 6 irons were used haha just the same we had a blast.

Black Mountain was nice quite a challenge all went well until the rain hit at 15 side ways we managed to still keep the scores pretty good till 18 then we were wet right through would like to play again in nicer weather.

Shannon Lake Golf Club was what we expected as we played it 2 years ago and was a nice day golf was good we all shot well and to top it off we ran into our cousin who we had not seen in over 20 years. Comfort Inn & Suites Kelowna Hotel was good breakfast good would go back.

Thanks Ross for putting up with our not knowing what we want and guiding us through.
Til next year or sooner, Randy

Ross….My time at Tobiano was more than I could have hope for or imagined!! The course is terrific, and the staff was second to none. I can not wait to come back again. Surely, it will be an annual trip for me at least. Dave, Nicole, Jesse, Sam and the other gals in the restaurant went the extra mile to make my experience memorable. Miles left me a momento, which I will send him a thank you note for. A golf club head cover…horse with Tobiano written on it! Fanatastic!! I appreciate all you did to put the lodging and golfing together…and for passing on the vette pics. A way cool trip!!

Ross, please accept my apologies for responding so late after our trip, but June is a very busy month for me.
I just want to thank you for having our trip so well organized. The accommodations were great, and all of us were very impressed with the courses. Kelowna has another winner in the Black Mountain course ( None of us got close to your 79, but we will blame that on the alcohol factor). We are most definetly doing this again next year, and will be calling on you to get us set up again. On behalf of the group Thank you.

Thanks Ross for your assistance in putting our trip to Kelowna together.The weather was great & the course selection was terrific.Predator Ridge was our favourite.The Rise would be a close second,definately need to play this one more than once to find your way around it.Tower Ranch is another great track.All of these have spectacular views.Osoyoos Desert was a fun course but too far to drive for just one round.The Bear was a great choice for our opening round but Black Mountain was a bit of a disappointment.It doesn\'t stand up against these other courses.The Holiday Inn was a good choice & their breakfast every morning got us started on the right track.Overall a great experience.Thanks again.

Just to let you know we had a fantastic time. In fact we couldn't have enjoyed it anymore, unbelievable golf, excellent accommodations, and most of all the weather was perfect. Any of our future golf trips Ross will be handled through you and you company. Black Mountain was a true joy to play although the greens were a little slow, but that was understandable being they are brand new, great course. Once again Ross, thank you for everything you did to make it a very special kelowna golf trip.
Sincerely Wayne

Hi Ross. Just wanted to let you know that we had a great time & the 3 courses we played were spectacular. Osoyoos Golf & Country was great scenery and managed to finish before a storm blew in. Balfour was so much fun especially the back 9. And last, Kokanee Springs which is amazingly beautiful, very challenging and we would love to play it again. The Kootenay Lakeview Lodge....all I can say is WOW - the view is stunning and the food at dinner was amazing on both nights!!!
Thanks again Ross for taking care of us and we will
definitely be in touch with you again. Cheers!

Thanks for organizing our recent golf holiday. We had a great time and the Watermark Resort in Osoyoos, it was perfect. It is brand new and in a great location, with a nice little restaurant downstairs. They gave us a two bedroom and the lake view was perfect. We enjoyed the Osoyoos CC, desert course, as the weather was perfect. We golfed Monday in thunder and pouring rain at Inkameep, with a couple from our own course in Richmond. We joked how only Vancouverites would golf in this rain. Fairview was excellent, sunny, and hot. Thanks again for everything.

Morning Ross,

May I thank you for the excellent organisation and support you provided to us. The Borgata Lodge was quite superb and the courses challenging. All in all - a great holiday. We did try to call you directly to say 'thanks' but could not get through. Ah well, back to work.

We have booked thru BCgolfguide.com for 3+ years and I enjoy dealing with Ross. When i call he already knows who i am, as he remembers our past conversations and my voice. It is a pleasure to deal with his company. Always quick and efficient. Our groups travels all over North America to various resorts, and i can honestly attest that no one i have dealt with at resorts in Florida, South Carolina and California match the attention to detail and accuracy. the trips are executed without hassles and mistakes. thank you. Golfing in the Okanagan is awesome!

Thank you for a great golf get - a - way and Thank You for all your time & efforts in getting every booked and run so smoothly. Thanks again and you will be hearing from us again for sure.

Hi Ross! Just wanted to let you know that you organized another great BC golf adventure for us! The Timberstone Lodge condo was awesome and the courses were great. Shadow Mountain is still a bit rough but that is to be expected since it has only been open for five weeks! St Eugenes was fabulous as always, Bootleg was great, and Trickle Creek is always a treat. Got wet on the back nine at Trickle but that is golf for you! The BC golf vouchers were recognized and all tee times went off smoothly. Thanks again for taking care of the details for us. Deena
