As difficult the site is, and as tough as the building conditions are, they haven’t wavered one bit in dedicating the effort and money it takes to build a great golf course.

With five sets of tees, this championship track is
up for any challenge.

Designing a golf course that plays just as well for a seasoned pro as it does for a 25-handicapper is no easy feat, especially when that golf course ranges from 5100 - 7000 yards. Yet that is exactly what Fred Couples and Gene Bates have achieved, through a careful combination of fairway width, landing area design, hazard placement and Fred’s signature ‘Boom-Boom’ pro tees.

Beyond pure gamesmanship, our elevation of 400 meters above Okanagan Lake offers water and valley views that very few have ever experienced. Even Okanagan Valley locals who have lived here for a lifetime will discover vistas they never knew existed.

Beneath its grandeur, The Golf Club at The Rise is a collection of exquisite design details, surprising discoveries and unique moments.

The 6th hole, an elevated-tee 198-yard par 3, is the trademark of the course. Beyond, the valley view stretches to a green infinity, and 100 feet below, the green teases from behind a glistening pond.

Teeing off on 17 feels like you are driving right into Okanagan Lake – a view that changes with every subtle shift in weather and season.

As with all development at The Rise, the golf course has been designed with the environment in mind. Key natural wetlands, like Moose Pond on the third hole, have been maintained and enhanced, creating more wetland habitat than was here when we began. Natural species are used in all rough and setback areas, and the entire course is irrigated using reclaimed water from the city’s treatment facility.

But beyond the technical and ecological aspects of this incredible course, we've created a golf club that is a part of the community.

Homeowners will have exclusive opportunities for membership at The Golf Club, yet every visitor to the Fred Couples Signature Golf Course at The Rise will feel welcome and special.

The Golf Club at The Rise truly has it all – location, views, the signature of a Masters Champion – it is the must-play course in the Okanagan Valley.
