Tobiano Update
Tobiano, just west of Kamloops BC, opened to rave reviews in 2007 and was selected at Best New Course in Canada by Golf Digest. Not content to rest on their laurels, the Resort is emabarking on new developments to more the Resort forward.
On the golf course, the major change has been the softening of the hazards and waste areas adjacent to a number of fairways. In its first year, Tobiano watered the rough extensively to get the fescue started, and they were certainly successful, but it made the course much more difficult to play if you wandered off the fairways. Miles Mortenson, General Manager, says that they have reduced the density and height of the fescue by reducing watering (and saving some as well). This has made a number of holes easier to play for the high handicapper, as balls can be found, and played from the adjacent areas. It has also made the course look more like the desert course that it is.
The Resort will be building a marina on adjacent Kamloops Lake to increase the number of activities for guests and residents, and has plans underway for a new 200 room hotel on the property.
