Ross,

Another great trip in the books, thanks to you. Although I did manage to lose our three round low-net tournament by one stroke, which still sticks in my craw.

But the accommodations were good again, and the courses - wonderful. Tower Ranch and Black Mountain were delightful. Our final round was at Black Mountain, and the course was in great shape, the staff were friendly, and the clubhouse an excellent place to wrap up the proceedings.

Our third consecutive fantastic trip booked through bcgolfguide.com!

Thank you again for fixing the shuttle at the last minute. I know that it was not for want of effort on your part, and I appreciate your diligence in helping correct the problem for us.

We will likely return to the Okanagan next year, but I think we will be looking for different accommodations in future. Perhaps a couple multi-bedroom condos at the same complex or a rental house with enough beds to have our own deck space/patio, and perhaps a barbecue.

Further, the Delta Grand, though the rooms are fantastic and beds great - they don\'t have Golf Channel. As our trip always coincides with the Open, in future we will need access to the highlight loop so we can keep abreast of these important matters.

We had a great time in Vegas, but.....

Boy, were you right about golf in Vegas - - - there are much better options out there. Legacy was forgettable, but the other courses were very nice. Badlands is a great course with the most incredible houses/castles I\'ve seen on golf courses. Paiute reminds me of We Ko Pa in Scottsdale, but is not quite as good. Revere is fun in those canyons, but some of the holes were a disappointment.

Quite a test though. The canyon layout reminded me of Stone Tree in Navato, CA - Johnny Miller layout.

The weather was the tough part. The forecast was for high temp\'s and low wind. We got low 50\'s with winds in the high teen\'s with gusts to 50mph. It was a lot of work to be out there all day for 36 holes. The noise, cold and buffeting wind really wore us out. Being a lake bed, the air was full of sand and grit. After a while it was something other than golf.

We are now cured of 36 holes/day. It\'s one thing in great weather, but with the cold, etc. we have re-thought our priorities.

Because we had so much golf planned I sure wouldn\'t bother staying on the strip.

The best dinner was at Carnevito\'s in the Venetian. I\'ve been to Italy several times. The food at Carnevito\'s is authentic and good. It\'s set in the imitation Piazza as a sidewalk cafe. Incredible setting that I highly recommend.

The worst and most expensive was Carnevino\'s - - similar but different name. Mario Batali\'s rip off. The meat was excellent but under-cooked. Some of the side dishes were good, but most were average or just bad. The presentation of all but the meat was without artistry.

The wait staff were not restaurant people. They just read from a script and lacked the service gene necessary for a good experience. Bill for seven diners was $1,400 with wine. The wine was some of the cheapest on the list. After adding 20% for our large group the waiter laid the guilt on to get us tip even more. I thought the whole thing targeted guys with no training or experience with food who would buy the name, the huge steaks, etc.

So, again, you were right. Mesquite would have been much more fun and cheaper. If you book there the most incredibly beautiful course is Entrada - another Johnny Miller track.

I\'ll be back to firm up the Bend Oregon trip.

I talked up your service to everyone and made sure they have your contact information for Golf The World Vacation. Everything you touched worked out great. There were no surprises at any of the courses.

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.

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!!
