If you are looking for a bit of an adventure playing disc golf, this is the course for you! It's located on a hillside, about 10 minutes outside of Penticton proper. On the way up to the course there are a lot of wonderful wineries, so you can treat yourself to a tasting after working up a sweat. Parking and signage here is very limited. We parallel parked on a small downhill roadway at the top of the hill, and the drop on the passenger side was pretty severe. There's a metal gate and a tiny little sticker marking the course; go past this and you'll find a stand and see the start of the course.
Disc golfing here is very challenging. Lots of uphills and downhills and I had to scramble up some weeds and dust to get my disc. Sturdy shoes are a must and I wouldn't recommend visiting during or after a heavy rain. I saw another player on the course in knee-high socks to protect her lower legs from branches and bushes, and I thought this was an excellent idea. There were large signs marking poison ivy in the area, which I really appreciated, as I hail from an area that doesn't grow it naturally, and I wouldn't be able to identify it without signs.
The views of the lake and the lower wineries are spectacular as you move through the course, and as you get higher and higher they are even better. I enjoyed the varying terrain, although we did skip a couple of holes (one is called the valley of death, and I did not want to try to rescue my disc from the said valley). I wouldn't recommend this course for true beginners, or anyone with limited mobility, but it's very fun if you're game to climb a bit and enjoy the scenery. read more
