We just flew home from Kelowna today and I want to thank you for setting up a great trip for us. The Manteo Resort was an awesome place to stay and they treated us really well.The weather was challenging...we even got a few minutes of snow on Tuesday at Kelowna Springs...but we still enjoyed the courses. Another year we may choose to come the last week of April to catch a bit more spring! All of the personal at the courses were great to us as well. BCgolfguide.com seems to be held in high regard by the people out there. The new course, The Club at Tower Ranch, is definitely a winner...we enjoyed our round there and will add it to our list of must play courses. Thanks again for setting up our trip. You did a great job! Deena Forrester - April 2009

I wanted to take a moment and thank you for your services. We had a great trip and really enjoyed ourselves. The weather held well for us too. Everything was set up for us at the courses and the hotel. You're one-stop / one-call service is really appreciated. As to the courses. The greens on Bear and Quail were playable but definitely still impacted by the 3 week old punching. The greens at Black Mtn were immaculate and that course may soon surpass the others as the best course in Kelowna. It's our favorite so far in the area. Thank you again and we'll be in touch next spring

I wanted to say thanks once again for setting up our golf trip this past weekend. It was awesome as always. A little rain on the Friday but the rest of the weekend turned out great. Thanks for the excellent service you and your company provide....it's outstanding!!!! When I did have any questions or anything else to do with the trip, your response was immediate and very professional. Talk to you next year Scott - Lower Mainland BC

Just wanted to say everything turned out very well for our Shuswap Trip. The Podollan Hotel rooms by the pool rocked and we were able stroll around to each others units as we pleased! The suite was a little tight for 10 guys playing poker, but we managed. They brought us tables and chairs and were very relaxed about everything. Oh the restaurant food there was awesome! I believe the restaurant was named Jax? In addition, the courses were also great and looked after us well. C. Ellis

Ross, Thanks again for setting everything up this weekend\'s Kamloops trip. Your system is super user-friendly and efficient. No complaints. The boys had a great time. Everyone said they would be sure to use the service again when setting up future trips. Regards, Dan.

Hey Ross. Thanks for putting together a great golf & stay package. Everything went perfectly. The Cove in Westbank was excellent, the tee times were all booked and the golf courses were expecting us. I would recommend your services to anyone planning a golf trip. Thanks again.

Hi Ross, Just wanted to let you know that the trip went off without a hitch. Everyone had a great time (even if the weather didn’t co-operate). I wanted to thank you again for all your work and setup. Your communication with the hotel and courses is amazing. Everyone knew exactly what we had arranged and were totally prepared for our arrival. Thank You once again and we look forward to planning next year’s trip with you. BTW next year will be Kelowna. Paul Cowl and the HACK 2010 team

Just wanted to send you an email to say how much I appreciate everything you did to organize our trip. Absolutely everything was perfect! You made me look really good as the organizer. Everyone loved the fact that all they had to do was show up and everything was looked after. I highly recommend the Hampton hotel. The staff was fabulous, room was exceptional, and the pool / hot tub / and even the water slide made for a great way to soothe some aching muscles at the end of the day. Even the breakfast was quite good and the topping on the cake was fresh baked cookies when we checked in at the desk. SWEET. I do not know how you managed to pull off the incredible weather we got but great job there too! Thanks again and you can look forward to booking our group again next year. Paul Cowl

Thank you for arranging our Kelowna trip for us. The Accent Inn was in a great location and the beds very comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the courses you picked (Sunset Ranch, Black Mnt and Shannon Lake). So many nice courses there, loved the scenery and there was a nice breeze on each of them that made the heat more bearable. We headed to the lake after every game which was refreshing. We will keep your number for sure for any future golf trips.

Ross….My time at Tobiano was more than I could have hope for or imagined!! The course is terrific, and the staff was second to none. I can not wait to come back again. Surely, it will be an annual trip for me at least. Dave, Nicole, Jesse, Sam and the other gals in the restaurant went the extra mile to make my experience memorable. Miles left me a momento, which I will send him a thank you note for. A golf club head cover…horse with Tobiano written on it! Fanatastic!! I appreciate all you did to put the lodging and golfing together…and for passing on the vette pics. A way cool trip!!

Hello Ross, I trust you are getting in some golf now and thought I would reply to your e-mail about testimonials. A 12 year old member of the Optimist Junior Linkster Tour Canada - www.jrlinkster.com recorded an amazing feat on Wednesday, June 16th at the Queen Elizabeth Park Par 3 Golf Course in Vancouver. Patrick Tan of Vancouver, accompanied by his mother and with other witnesses in the group ahead, sunk his 52 degree wedge shot on the 65 yard Hole #3 for a Hole-in-One - Hoorah! (Patrick plays there regularly and had had five Hole-in-One\'s already in the past year!) Then it gets interesting - as the play was slow that day and his group was waiting anyway, he hit a second ball with the same club and it too went into the hole - that\'s two balls in the hole. Then, amazingly, he put a third ball in play and again with the same club, put that ball in the hole too! They have a normally uninteresting picture of three balls in a hole - but all those balls were played from the tee and all 3 went in in one shot. He was too sheepish to play a fourth! Patrick is an eight handicap golfer and plays all the local BCGA junior events. He is a member of the Quilchena GC in Richmond.

Hi Ross, Just saying to you from me and my wife that we had a great time at Salmon Arm and playing golf and relaxing at the beaches. Thank you very much and we will be looking to do this again and having you set it up in the future.

Thanks for arranging a great golf trip. Everything went completely smooth, no glitches with anything, including the weather. Of the 9 courses played, our favourite 3 had to be Tobiano, Predator Ridge and Tower Ranch with Gallaghers Canyon, Okanagan Quail and the Rise just behind them. Sun Rivers was mostly interesting but had a few contrived holes that were quite easy to lose a ball on even after a good shot down the middle. Black Mountain was interesting but felt a bit jammed into too small an area. The Dunes was fun but not as interesting as some of the mountain courses. Thanks again for the great arrangements, we'll certainly use you again for our next trip to the west.

Ross, please accept my apologies for responding so late after our trip, but June is a very busy month for me. I just want to thank you for having our trip so well organized. The accommodations were great, and all of us were very impressed with the courses. Kelowna has another winner in the Black Mountain course ( None of us got close to your 79, but we will blame that on the alcohol factor). We are most definetly doing this again next year, and will be calling on you to get us set up again. On behalf of the group Thank you.

Alan Hudak from Ontario, along with his 7 friends that have done an annual trip for 30 plus years, they visited the Okanagan in April 2009, and stayed at the Playa Del Sol Resort. They had a blast. Read Alan's review on Trip Advisor.

Just wanted to let you know something about our group trip to Kelowna earlier this year. At the Quail course, we were all given a $10 credit because two tiny patches of green were roped off as unplayable. Essentially we all got a free sleeve of balls due to a very minor course issue. I (and the rest of my group) was totally impressed by this gesture by the Quail course...something many courses would not have done. That really made a positive impression on us. We in BC sometimes complain about service, but certainly not at the Quail course. They were top notch in every way. Thanks again, we are looking forward to next year's trip!

The Dunes at Kamloops and Ross Marrington- BC Golf Guide have had a great business relationship since 2005. During this time I have seen BC Golf Guide grow as a company and has eventually turned in to one of our most popular booking avenues for our out of town guests. Having said that, this relationship has transpired due to a great personal relationship with the owner, Ross Marrington. Ross gets it. He attends our BCPGA trade shows and has built a personal relationship with the majority of the golf professionals in the interior of BC and beyond. His attention to detail on group size changes and communication with our staff is second to none, there are rarely any mistakes made on the entire booking/cancellation process. This relationship building has been imperative to business relations with myself and Ross and weve seen an increase in destination rounds due to continuing popularity of his company. Another attribute to BC Golf Guide is, Ross is the only Tour Operator owner that makes a conscious effort to bring his own personal group of 24-36 players to our club and others in the interior each year. This does not happen with other agencies and is a unique trait that Ross makes a conscious effort to bring extra revenue to the golf clubs he deals with, and we all appreciate it. Sincerely, Mike Porco, Former Director of Golf The Dunes at Kamloops

Just a belated note to thank you for the wonderful job on booking our golf trip. Everyone had a great time. The hotel was very good to us as far as the meeting room went and we were able to use it both nights. The golf courses were great especially the Dunes which every one agreed they liked better. I am sure you will hear next year from the couples planning that trip. Again thanks and if you ever need to refer a satisfied customer we will all be glad to contribute.

We booked our group of 12 with BCgolfguide.com to Kelowna this past May. The trip was great and we even had a shuttle to take us to all the courses, i highly recommend this. Thanks again Ross for taking care of us.

I wanted to thank you for helping pull together another excellent golf trip to Kelowna. I have been \"chairman\" of our annual golf trip since its inception 8 years ago. This summer (2010) was our second trip to Kelowna, and the second time I relied on you to orchestrate the hotel bookings, tee times, and ground transportation. Once again, I was impressed by your professionalism and attention to detail. Your course recommendations over the past couple years, including the Bear, the Quail, Predator Ridge, Gallagher\'s and Shannon Lake, have all been well received by the guys. In fact, this year was unanimously tagged as the \"best\" and \"most memorable\" of all the previous trips by my friends. As it will fall on me to plan our 9th annual trip next year, I have no doubt that we will be returning to Kelowna for the third consecutive year...and I will be in touch early in 2011 to start putting that together with you again. Thank you again - A. Keats
