Golfed here this past weekend. The service, other than the young guy in the pro shop, was abysmal.

When we arrived, after booking in for 6 players the week before, our t-time was not booked, there were no notes of the booking, and we barely got in.

The course, honestly, for a par 72 in such a nice location, was pretty disappointing. The greens were more rough than sand paper, and patchy to the point that your ball wouldn’t roll 3ft.

On the turn, we stopped at the clubhouse for a snack. Considering the wings were on special we thought that it should be fairly quick to order them and were told 8 minutes for wings. Great! 20 minutes later and the chef is standing at the front counter talking to the front counter ladies. Still no wings. We waited so long that half our group was chased out of the club house to get back on the course. Instead of letting groups behind us play through.

At the end of all of this, when we brought the carts back, the older man in the pro shop stood in our way at the door and snatched the keys from us. When we walked past him to browse in the pro shop, he made consistent underhanded comments about how we played slow and insinuated that we shouldn’t have played this course.

Quite frankly, considering the condition of the fairways and the greens, the horrible customer service and the condition of the golf carts, there needs to be some corrections made.

This was a horrible experience compared to the next day, playing in terrace.

Hopefully they can put their pride aside and correct the issues before they ruin their reputation.

Fantastic fall colours with beautiful view of the Babine mountain range.

This was the green on the 5th hole and it was one of the better greens. The second green was still covered with its winter plastic. That one still puzzles me to this day. Why in June you would still have your winter cover on a green.....?

Great Pro Shop & friendly personnel. I'm not a golfer, I just stopped by to take a look. Everything looks clean, new, and well run. The clubhouse is really nice with great views and good hot food beside the bar. A nice spot.

Fairways are a cow pasture!
Worst fairways I have played since the last time golfing in Smithers 3 years ago, yet they charge high green fees! The potential of this course is high but something has gone wrong with this course!
Ate at the restaurant and it was worse than the fairways!
Unbelievable

The course was in good condition and I thought that green fee's were very reasonable.

June 21st 2022. Paid $36 at 6:30 at night. Played five holes and walked off the course. This course is in the worst shape of any course I have seen in my life. And I do know..... my parents built and ran a golf course when I was a kid. Friends of mine did the Fairview College and built courses like the new 9 in Banff and the 36 holes in Kananaskis. I also play with greenskeepers from courses on Vancouver Island where I live . So I'm 63 now and I cannot think of a course in worse shape than this course that I played today. Greens are terrible Fairways are terrible and it's like they haven't even been cutting the first or second cuts off the Fairway. I looked at the photos on this website of the condition of the greens in the past. Whoever your superintendent is needs to be fired.
So the next day I played Terrace BC course was night and day... 180° difference from Smithers. Terrace was in very good shape. Talking to a few people asking what was going on in Smithers people believe that they're having problems getting people to work. Years ago I was a member on Pender Island and we had a terrible superintendent but the course had a good group of member volunteers coming in to help. Maybe that's what's Smithers needs
