FRED COUPLES SIGNATURE COURSE
Where Championship Golf Meets Okanagan Luxury
Perched 1,000 feet above Okanagan Lake, The Rise Resort delivers what no other destination in Western Canada can: a Fred Couples Signature championship golf course where 12 of 18 holes showcase panoramic lake views that stretch to the horizon. This isn’t just golf—it’s an elevated experience where every round is played against a backdrop of natural grandeur.
From the first tee to the final putt, you’ll understand why Fred Couples and Gene Bates chose this dramatic terrain to create their masterpiece. Six sets of tees ensure every skill level can challenge themselves on a course designed with professional standards and breathtaking beauty in equal measure.
After your round, The Edge Restaurant awaits—30,000 square feet of architectural excellence featuring locally sourced cuisine and 360-degree views that rival any dining experience in the Okanagan Valley.

- Strategic Challenge – Six sets of tees ensure everyone from beginners to single-digit handicappers finds the right challenge

Signature Hole #15
Our signature hole challenges players of all levels with a slight downhill left to right dogleg with a second shot requiring a carry over water to an angled green.
This is then followed by a par three that can measure to 185 yards. It requires a full carry over water to a narrow angular green. Walking away with two pars will surely be a good score.
