This course is a blast to play.” "We are incredibly honoured to be recognized as the top public course in British Columbia and among the best in Canada," said Chris Hood, General Manager of Sagebrush Golf Club.

“This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, and we are grateful to SCOREGolf for acknowledging our efforts to provide an unparalleled golfing experience.” Other local courses that were recognized by SCOREGolf include Kamloops' Tobiano Golf Course at 19th overall, and the third best public course in B.C.
