The Dunes in Kamloops BC has a number of new developments in plans that will considerably enhance the course and improve the experience at the course.
A new clubhouse will be under construction this fall and winter, to be built just to the north of the current temporary buildings. It will have great views north over the course and up the Thompson River valley. A new road access into the course has been built from the western side of the property that will separate the property into an 18 hole executive length course and learning centre. This development will be to the southern end of the property where holes 1 - 5 are currently located.
A new design by Les Furber will amalgamate some of the current holes on the north side of the property with new holes being created in some of the areas that have not been used in the current design. The largest of these areas lies between holes 14 and 16 and more use will be made of the land at the northern end of the property. There will some renovations to the current holes, including #18, that will soften play a bit and sort out a few problem areas.
Housing development is planned for the western edge of the property, with 41 lots for sale. This residential development will join some existing residential development on the south side of the property. Plans are also under discussion for a boutique hotel just south of the clubhouse.
All in all, good news from the owners!
