About
Carved out of the sunny benchlands at the base of Mounts Peter and Paul, Bighorn Golf & Country Club (formerly known as Sun Rivers Golf Resort) is one of the few “true” desert courses in Canada. Designed by celebrated golf course architect Graham Cooke and Wayne Carleton, Bighorn is the essence of exceptional golf; offering dramatic elevation changes, sagebrush, natural sand dunes, classic bunkering, wide bentgrass fairways, gently contoured greens and majestic vista

Decent course but
Hard holes but not saying that’s a bad thing, biggest issue I felt was the fact there are so many houses along the course , it takes away from the feeling your on a course and more like your hitting balls in a yard, but good lay out just has no real vibe, great for iron play tho, 3.5/5
Course needs some work
Greens were in fair condition
Tee boxes were poor
Some sand traps were very poor
Fairways were good
Cart paths were poor
Overall the course was in fair condition
Bang for your buck
GolfNow hot deal is a great rate at this course and the carts are included!
Over all a fun round. Greens were a little beat up from a tournament but we had a Hot deal and we think what we paid was very fair! On course beverage cart is out of commission at the moment but a very well stocked beverage shop at the turn. Wind was crazy. My 4 some will be back!
Excellent
Excellent as usual. Always enjoy playing Big Horn.
Challenging course, but fun to improve your game.
If you haven’t played recently, come on back!
Never Disappoints!
Played here a few times amazed that it is not busier. Managed to score a Hot Deal! The course was in great shape, fairways, sand and greens. Enjoy the course as I seem to shoot a decent score here. The fairways must be wide enough to keep my fade in bounds! They do have what I consider to be alot of 'blind' tee shots, i suppose that the topography, on the side of a mountain, in a subdivision has a lot to contribute to that. Will be back again!
Bighorn
Great day on the course. Pace was excellent, fast greens and hitting your target on some holes a must. Carts have gps with scorecard, hole layout, fly over and 2 usb's to plug in devices. Driving net, putting and chipping greens to warm up.
Awful course conditions
Big rocks in sand traps, some traps had barely any and. Terrible fairways for this time of year, other local courses in better shape.
