Kelowna’s Newest Premiere Golf Course and Clubhouse
Opens May 30th to Members
 Members and guests can now get their golf clubs primed and bring their appetites over to The Club at Tower Ranch.
Starting May 30, members can tee up on the first nine holes of the new Thomas McBroom designed championship golf course. The clubhouse’s restaurant, Aberdeen’s Restaurant and Lounge, will also open its doors that day to both members and the general public.
The first nine holes will give members a taste of the course’s bent grass greens, tees, and fairways, white silica sand bunkers, undulating landscape, and unobstructed views of the entire valley and Kelowna cityscape.
Aberdeen’s Restaurant and Lounge, with its breathtaking views, is headed by Food Services Director Brian Reilly and newly acquired Head Chef Curtis Langford. Together, this team brings nearly 30 years of experience in the food and hospitality industry to the Club at Tower Ranch. The menu will feature items designed around fresh resources of B.C., matched with the award winning wines of the Okanagan golf valley.
“This soft opening is a chance for our members to finally discover that the rumors are true: We are offering up superior playability, exceptional views, fabulous food from a brand new menu, and first class customer service,” says Chief Operating Officer Sherry Lipp. “We’re ready to serve you a quality and unforgettable experience the minute you walk in.”
“The majority of our current membership signed up last Fall, and they’ve been waiting patiently to hit some balls on this course,” says Neil Schmidt, head golf professional. “We wanted to give the members the first opportunity to meet us and to receive the privilege of dedicated early playing time for their lifelong commitment to the Club at Tower Ranch.”
The golf course is semi-private and the general public is welcome to book tee-times for early-June as well. The full 18 holes opens softly in mid-July, with official grand opening events scheduled for mid-August.
