Stretching to 6500 yards from the back tees, it does not overwhelm length but rewards accuracy.
What type of course is Lake Okanagan and how should I play it?
The course follows a traditional Parkland design philosophy. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
