I play golf mainly in Canada, Mexico, and Jamaica and I believe this is the most fun and enjoyable golf course I have ever played. Definitely tight and Challenging fairways, always rewarded by keeping the ball staight. The staff are so accommodating and friendly and I also love having a beer and hot dog out on the deck. Great value, keep up the good work.

Was out at Tower for a golf trip with 7 friends a few weeks back. I cannot say enough good things about this golf course. The only thing better than the conditions were the stunning views of the Okanagan Valley. The staff was helpful and friendly. After golf we enjoyed the fantastic food and views on offer in the lounge. Would highly recommend

Easily one of the nicest maintained courses in our entire area and so nicely set with a great backdrop too and even though it rained so hard yesterday and we had to quit at 13 cause it got cold and windy...I was playing course so well and playing to its nice challenge level. One of only 5 of 5 stars for any Okanagan golf clubs and the older gent in pro shop was engaging and just fun and friendly: yesterday pm, Sat, June 9th. Thanks! Oh and was very affordable too!

We were truly impressed with this golf course and it was one of the hi-lights of our holiday. We were staying in Salmon Arm, but based on a recommendation, decided to drive down to Armstrong to check out the course...and we were glad we did. We felt welcomed, as we dropped by to book a tee time. it is a beautiful course with good distance between the holes....yet walkable, which is what we like to do. What did we like about the course? Absolutely everything!!....but here are the main points. 1) Fairways and greens are very well maintained 2) The challenge level and the design of the course 3) It is well priced for the type of course and level of play 4) The OWNERS...are awesome

Wow! A little piece of paradise. Moderately challenging course! Par 5 on the front 9 plays like a par 7! All in all a great course. Well manicured greens and fairways. Watch for rattlesnakes who seem to share the love of the lush green fairways. The staff were wonderful. The carts are all spanky new. No GPS but all of the other swank (ball wash, cooler, divot repair, tees). Be sure to pic up the map with tips for the course if it is your first time. Such amazing scenery. Thank you for a beautiful day on the course!
