Is it golf season yet? Rivershore opens Friday

It’s starting to look a little greener out there, which can only mean one thing: tee time. Yes, that time of year where you can golf and ski in the same day has nearly arrived.

Golfers are likely watching with anticipation as the the white stuff melts away, and so are course owners.

Rivershore will be the first Kamloops course to open for the season on Friday, March 16.

Most of the other local courses, however, are still waiting for warmer weather and for the snow to disappear. While in past years some courses have opened as early as mid February, they also saw mid-March openings last year. We called around and found most places are looking to open in the next couple weeks, if the weather cooperates.

Kamloops Golf and Country Club and Eagle Point haven’t set an opening date. Staff at The Dunes said the plan there is to open on or before April 1.

Sun Rivers Golf Course is opening this season under a new name and new owner as Bighorn Golf and Country Club and is also anticipating an April 1 opening. Staff at Tobiano said they will be open for sure by April 6, but could open sooner, depending on the weather.

Spring is coming! Keep on melting snow! #golfbighorn

In town at Mount Paul Golf Course, the driving range is open but the fairways are still a little patchy with snow. Staff at Mount Paul did say they are very close to being able to open the course.

In the meantime, continue enjoying the slopes at Sun Peaks before ski season wraps up in April.
