Tobiano
Big-scale lake-and-desert golf
Tobiano is the big swing of the trip. Thomas McBroom built it above Kamloops Lake on land that feels more desert amphitheater than Canadian resort. Huge landforms, forced-carry visuals, wind, and lake views make the scorecard feel secondary. This is not a casual warm-up round.

Wow what a course. The views, the conditions, everything was perfect. This is the best course I played in BC and I’ve played a bunch of the top courses. If you have a chance check it out!
