About
MaraHills Golf Resort (formerly known as Hyde Mountain Golf Course) boasts a stunning setting thanks to its location within the hills above Mara Lake, with views that span the surrounding mountains and hardwood forests. Les Furber, a well known name in British Columbia golf, designed this challenging layout. You'll be using every club in your bag and you can't afford to take any of the tee shots lightly. The golf course is routed through dense groves of mature trees and across deep ravines that make for some intimidating tee shots. One hole that exemplifies the MaraHills Golf Resort experience is the par-4 fourth hole. At 483 yards, the yardage may seem strange but you'll understand why it has so much length once you're standing on the tee box, which is perched 200 feet above the fairway. The elevation offers an incredible view but be prepared for a difficult hole from tee to green.

Nothing like the Shuswap
Not going to lie I used to hate this course, probably because I wasn't very good lol. But now that I've got better I've learned to love this course, from the beauty scenic views, to the abusrd elevation changes its truly unique to the Shuswap and one of the most beautiful, fun and challenging courses around.

Designed a bit over the top
I can’t complain about the price of the course, or the views for that matter - they were both fantastic.
I give 3 stars because I think whoever designed the course wasn’t trying a bit to hard to make something special. It was my first time playing the course so after a few rounds I might enjoy it better knowing where the multitude of blind shots go, but I think it was a bit over the top.
I’ve played many courses that have been much more simply designed, and yet much more enjoyable. Also as a result of the lengthy distances between holes, walking was not even an option. This is a shame since walking is the preferred way to golf for those who are able.
This course is more akin to an amusement park than a quality golf course. My advice for the designer is to go to Disneyland if you want that type of experience. There actually used to be a driving range at Disneyland, my grandfather was the head pro there in the 60s.
All in all a well maintained course with great views and a different golfing experience, but not what I think golf is supposed to be about.

A MUST play
Great and challenging layout with lots of elevation changes; perfect maintenance, perfect greens. Never mind the fabulous scenery, some of the holes are jaw-dropping stunning!! Greens are very large and terraced; you must approach to the right level. The par 4's are not overly long, but every approach has to be done carefully. The course supplies a great booklet with a full explanation of each hole for the first time player; VERY SMART !! When my golf cart ran out of fuel, the staff was ALL OVER IT...IMMEDIATELY!! I f I lived closer to this course, I would join as a member in a NEW YORK MINUTE !!
We are happy to have exceeded your expectations. We love hearing from you and are glad you had a great experience. We look forward to having you back again soon! Until then, take care!
Decent early season conditions
Cart path only made for extra walking. Top tee on 4 was closed was disappointing. Hole 5 has a temp tee box for all tees at about 170 yards for a par 4. Snack shack not open yet. Lots of soft wet areas in the fairways, but course overall in better condition that expected for early season.
We are happy to have exceeded your expectations. We love hearing from you and are glad you had a great experience. We look forward to having you back again soon! Until then, take care!
In Great Shape so far to kick the yr off
Greens were in great shape but still wet around the course spring conditions

Best value in BC
Unbelievable views, great condition and super value for the price. The only thing better than the views was the service from Jana the hostess in the restaurant/lounge. Played several rounds at Hyde during our vacation and Jana made us feel welcomed each day. A great example of service making us want to keep coming back.......great job!
Best course yet
Played here for the first time the other day, had to book a tee time for the next day. Probably my favorite course to play. Great views. Fun elevated shots. Course was in awesome condition. Pace was perfect, never rushed. Some tricky shots but very fun to play. Challenging at times with a few elevated greens with dog legs. Got there by boat and they picked us up from the dock and gave us a tour. Ate at the restaurant after which was busy with people there just enjoying the view. Very recommended to play and every Wednesday is only $50 including cart. Use the GolfNow app every other day.
