The new owners of Twin Lakes are planning to spend more than $3 million on improvements and enhancements to the popular local golf club. Located 15 minutes south of Penticton, the club features a championship 18-hole, par 72 course. “We see a tremendous future for golf in this area,” said Chris Couzelis, managing director of Twin Lakes Golf Resort. “Twin Lakes is already a highly playable and enjoyable golf course. Our goal is to make it even better and to become a vital part of the golfing experience in the Southern Okanagan.” In addition to continuing to provide outstanding golfing opportunities for local golfers at favourable prices, Couzelis said the club is also targeting the growing interest in the South Okanagan as a golf destination. “The exceptional scenic beauty of the area, its sunshine, its many wineries and the top-notch golf courses in the region are drawing ever-increasing numbers of vacationers and new residents,” said Couzelis. “The changes being made to the Twin Lakes club will enhance our participation in this exciting new market.” Planned improvements to Twin Lakes include upgrades to the irrigation system and clubhouse, as well as the golf course itself. Discussions are underway with well-known Canadian golf pro Dick Zokol and top course designer Armen Suny to provide expertise on the upgrades. Their firm, Suny, Zokol Golf Design Ltd., is currently building the exclusive Sagebrush Golf & Country Club, a championship course located in the Nicola Valley near Merritt, B.C. Sagebrush is scheduled to open this fall. The B.C.-based owners of Twin Lakes are also moving forward with plans to build a new residential development on a hillside looking over the golf course. Approximately 230 lots in the as-yet-unnamed project are expected to go on the market in 2009. A limited number of memberships in the Twin Lakes Golf Club will be made available to those purchasing lots.
