RIVERSHORE GOLF LINKS
🇨🇦 Kamloops, British Columbia, CA
Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr.

Rivershore Golf Links occupies a distinctive riverside setting along the Thompson River in Kamloops, in the semi-arid interior of British Columbia. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened in 1981, the course reflects the architect's characteristic approach to strategic design during this period of his career. The layout takes advantage of the natural terrain along the river valley, incorporating elevation changes and the region's unique high-desert landscape into the routing.
The course plays through a mix of riverside holes and elevated terrain, with the Thompson River coming into view on several holes. Jones's design philosophy is evident in the large, contoured greens and strategic bunkering that requires thoughtful club selection and course management. The semi-arid climate of the Kamloops area creates playing conditions distinct from the coastal courses of British Columbia, with firm, fast fairways during much of the season and native grasses and sagebrush defining the rough areas.
Rivershore serves as a public facility, making Jones's design work accessible to visiting golfers exploring the interior of British Columbia. The course benefits from Kamloops's reputation for sunny, dry weather and extended playing seasons compared to other regions of the province. The combination of Jones's architectural pedigree and the dramatic Thompson River valley setting has established Rivershore as a notable destination for golfers traveling through the region.
