Combining the championship qualities of a classic Les Furber design with the
playability of a mid-length facility, Two Eagles Golf Course & Academy embodies
a refreshing concept. Regardless of your age or ability, Two Eagles is an extremely
friendly environment in which to learn, to grow, and to enjoy the game of golf.
Add in the rolling hills and ponderosa pines overlooking Okanagan Lake, and it is an
experience you will want to repeat over and over. The style is reminiscent of definitive
Les Furber designs such as Predator Ridge, Silvertip, and Trickle Creek, which use
the natural landscapes to shape the golf holes. Typical of his courses, Two Eagles is
strikingly visual in nature. "People best appreciate what they see," Furber says, "not
what they know or think they know."
As you negotiate the two creeks, six ponds, 72 sand traps, and undulating bent-grass
greens, you will find that no two holes present the same challenge. On the tee box of
the 528-yard 11th, you're faced with a narrow gap featuring a soft dogleg left that is
framed by majestic pines, a rocky creek meandering along the left side of the fairway,
and a large bunker protecting the right side. A decision is now required on the tee
shot: an aggressive line to take advantage of the par 5 or a conservative tee ball to
lead to a third shot approach. Bunkers are well placed and capture many a ball for
those attempting to hit the green in two shots. The three-tiered green makes accuracy
and distance control very important for any birdie opportunity.
Remember to enjoy the view of the lake and surrounding mountains as you continue
your round at Two Eagles.
