Eagle Point Golf & Country Club

Eagle Point Golf & Country Club occupies a dramatic setting above Kamloops Lake in the Thompson Valley of British Columbia's interior. Designed by Robert Heaslip and opened in the early 1990s, the course takes full advantage of the region's distinctive high-desert terrain, with routing that moves through sagebrush-covered hillsides, rocky outcroppings, and natural ravines. The property's elevation changes and clifftop positioning provide expansive views across the lake and surrounding mountains, while the arid climate and sandy soil create firm, fast playing conditions uncommon in much of British Columbia. The layout features significant elevation variation, with several holes playing along ridgelines and others descending into natural valleys. Heaslip's design incorporates the rugged topography rather than overwhelming it, using the natural contours to create strategic interest and memorable hole corridors. The course requires thoughtful club selection and course management, as the combination of elevation changes, prevailing winds, and firm conditions can make distance control challenging. Eagle Point serves both members and resort guests, functioning as part of a residential golf community that has become established within the Kamloops area golf market. The course benefits from the region's dry, sunny climate, which allows for an extended playing season compared to courses in wetter parts of the province. The setting and design reflect the character of British Columbia's interior—more rugged and open than the coastal rainforest courses, with a playing experience shaped by the landscape's natural severity.
