Twin Lakes Golf Resort in South Okanagan is situated in a beautiful valley surrounded by towering mountains covered with forests of firs and pines. It's part of the Okanagan Golf Trail, a group of courses in the Penticton, Oliver, and Summerland areas that each offers a diverse terrain and unique playing experience. The golf course full utilizes the dramatically undulating terrain, incorporating elevated tees, rolling fairways and sloped greens. The lofty elevations also provide stunning views across the rugged landscape. The seventh is the toughest hole with a large sand trap combined with a narrowed fairway. As far as difficulty goes, it's followed by the equally tricky 16th hole, which has a lengthy sand trap that spans almost the entire left side of the golf course. In addition to the golf course, Twin Lakes also has a short-game practice area with chipping and putting greens as well as a riving range.

Twin lakes

While the staff and location of golf course was wonderful the course was not in great condition and some very strange holes squeezed into the course. Cost to play does not reflect the price.

I enjoy playing this course

I enjoy playing this course with all it's unique holes and challenges. The people I have met and played with and the staff, have always made the experience worth playing this course. The sand traps need a little work, but other wise if you stay in the fareway you should have no problem. I try and play this course at least twice on the weekend.

Thanks

Perfect greens and a wonderful RV park attached

We were pulling our RV through the area when we saw the sign that there was a golf course with an RV park attached, so it was a no brainer. The RV park is exceptionally clean and well laid out, and all staff are very friendly and helpful. The course was in very good condition and features some exceptionally scenic high elevation tees, and several very challenging holes. Lots of large old trees lining the fairways, nicely spaced so they don't impede the game too badly on an off hit. The greens are not overly large but well contoured and very firm and true, while not fast to the point where they make putting difficult. Perfect for every level of golfer! We'll definitely make it a planned stop next time through the area.

Great course. Needs Marshall.

The course is gorgeous. The layout is nice and the views are wonderful. The only problem is the pace of play. A group several spots ahead of us took 25 minutes on the first hole. This is unacceptable. A very important point of etiquette for both beginner and seasoned golfers is to keep the pace of play and not ruin the experience for others. We skipped a hole to get around some but took an hour longer to play than it should of because of another slow group. It really takes the momentum out of your game when you have to wait 5 minutes at every hole.
