The Rise golf club’s transformation has reached into the great outdoors.
Freddy’s is a patio where guests can dine and enjoy the views of Okanagan Lake from the 10th tee.
“We’re excited about the new dining for sure,” said Ian Renton, general manager.
“And we know our guests will love the great casual fare with this magnificent view. But more than that, we’re really considering this new eatery as the beginning of our larger architectural vision. Its unique design speaks to our commitment to the future, and how we continue to look ahead and invest in the whole experience at the Rise.”
Designed and constructed by DIRTT, the patio restaurant is the first of its kind and is setting a new national standard in architecture and smart design, says Renton.
“The chopstick vertical beams were inspired by Greek construction,” he said.
“The bottom of the beams support the roof while their tops have been engineered to support wind load.”
Chad Scott, director of golf and head professional, says Freddy’s is the perfect place to be after a game.
“The 2,000-square-foot roof shades from the heat and rain for all-season dining,” he said.
“Our menu is cafe style. We’ve got burgers, hot dogs, and casual treats, plus the beer is local from Okanagan Springs Brewing. With great food and a stunning view, you won’t want to leave.”
The Rise Golf is 1,000 feet above Okanagan Lake and it’s known for the Fred Couples signature course.
