Kamloops has two unique courses with 18 baskets which are McArthur Island and Rose Hill West. There is also a third course called Copper Ridge Disc Golf Course. McArthur Island and Rose Hill West are about a 10-minute drive from downtown Kamloops while Copper Ridge Disc Golf Course is about 45 minutes from Kamloops in the town of Logan Lake. The three courses allow for a variety of options and you can even bring a pet along with you. McArthur Island is the only course that does not allow for dogs in the park.
