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.

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 arrived back from golf trip it was very good, courses were good, some winter kill on Salmon Arm and three temps but still good, Hyde Mountain had spectacular views and the only time we got any rain was on the 18th hole, other than that we didn't see any real rain. Canoe Creek and Talking rock were my favorites but all 5 were very good and none of us were disappointed. The Podollan Inn was good and the staff were very friendly and efficient. So all in all it was a very satisfying Shuswap golf trip.

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.

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.

I wanted to take a moment and thank you for your services. We had a great trip and really enjoyed ourselves. The weather held well for us too. Everything was set up for us at the courses and the hotel. You're one-stop / one-call service is really appreciated. As to the courses. The greens on Bear and Quail were playable but definitely still impacted by the 3 week old punching. The greens at Black Mtn were immaculate and that course may soon surpass the others as the best course in Kelowna. It's our favorite so far in the area. Thank you again and we'll be in touch next spring

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.

Hi Ross, Well here we are back in the UK after a super vacation in Canada. We would all like to pass on our thanks for making our holiday just perfect and organizing Predator Ridge at such short notice, it really rounded the holiday of great and saved us a big headache in trying to make our own arrangements. They guys enjoyed the 27 holes at Predator Ridge as much and if not more than Bear Mountain which is saying something. We hope when in Canada next you will still be around and active in BC Golf Guide to organize our golf. Thanks again for making Canada so memorable. Kind regards Loraine, Barry, Sandra and Ray - England

Alan Hudak from Ontario, along with his 7 friends that have done an annual trip for 30 plus years, they visited the Okanagan in April 2009, and stayed at the Playa Del Sol Resort. They had a blast. Read Alan's review on Trip Advisor.

I wanted to thank you for helping pull together another excellent golf trip to Kelowna. I have been \"chairman\" of our annual golf trip since its inception 8 years ago. This summer (2010) was our second trip to Kelowna, and the second time I relied on you to orchestrate the hotel bookings, tee times, and ground transportation. Once again, I was impressed by your professionalism and attention to detail. Your course recommendations over the past couple years, including the Bear, the Quail, Predator Ridge, Gallagher\'s and Shannon Lake, have all been well received by the guys. In fact, this year was unanimously tagged as the \"best\" and \"most memorable\" of all the previous trips by my friends. As it will fall on me to plan our 9th annual trip next year, I have no doubt that we will be returning to Kelowna for the third consecutive year...and I will be in touch early in 2011 to start putting that together with you again. Thank you again - A. Keats

Just wanted to give you a report on our weekend in Kamloops. The Hampton in Kamloops was wonderful, the rooms were perfect, beds luxurious, the breakfast, was definitely deluxe for a continental. Our first day at Sun Rivers was good, the coarse is very challenging, and weather turned out good, we were worried at first, as the wind was howling on the first tee. The Dunes is a flatter coarse, lots of wide open, not so many places to lose a ball. We had great service after at the Dunes, the coarse marshall was terrific, the waiter was also very friendly. All in all, we had a wonderful time, and also had very prompt taxi service too. Thanx so much, we will definitely check you out next time we want to book a golf weekend.

Hi Ross, I wanted to thank you for helping set up our golf trip last month. The accommodations at the Manteo were very good and the golf was fantastic. The round at Tower Ranch was the highlight. We look forward to returning to Kelowna or Kamloops (or Whistler?) next year. Booking through you was very easy and effective and we will go this route again. I will also recommend you to anyone else who is thinking golf. Thank you Rob Sim

Thanks for arranging a great golf trip. Everything went completely smooth, no glitches with anything, including the weather. Of the 9 courses played, our favourite 3 had to be Tobiano, Predator Ridge and Tower Ranch with Gallaghers Canyon, Okanagan Quail and the Rise just behind them. Sun Rivers was mostly interesting but had a few contrived holes that were quite easy to lose a ball on even after a good shot down the middle. Black Mountain was interesting but felt a bit jammed into too small an area. The Dunes was fun but not as interesting as some of the mountain courses. Thanks again for the great arrangements, we'll certainly use you again for our next trip to the west.

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

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.

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! Deena Forrester - April 2009

A quick note to thank you once again for a wonderful golf weekend. Besides that minor glitch at Furry, everything went off like clock work. We were all in agreement that this was one of our better trips. We are back to Kananaskis next year and B.C. in 2011 when I look forward to working with you again.Your loyal customer, Rick Albus - p.s. Having the Bears show up at the Chateau and Squamish was a nice touch.

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

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.
