Nice selections. Harvest is a must play while in Kelowna. Only course close to that is Tower Ranch which can be punishing.
I'll be looking forward to your review of Olympic View. It is tight and requires some serious accuracy off the tee to score well. I would recommend hitting something other than driver for position unless you are uber confident in pounding the driver.
Bear Mountain is a gem. Both courses are great, but the mountain is probably the more playable of the two. Greens are fair and when you have a look should be able to score. The secret is getting in position to get a look! The back nine is going to play with your head, so be prepared for it.

Yes, it is #11. Hole sets up for you to hit your drive in the water as it looks like there is nothing but death right. Take your drive over the center of the hill on the right and you will be in for a pleasant surprise. There's more room than it looks and everything feeds back to the left. #12 is more of a challenge IMO. What looks like an easy tee shot is tougher than you expect. Keep it down the right side and don't be afraid to hit it! #13 is where the games begin. I won't spoil it for you. Have fun! Oh, and load up at the half way house before #10. Lots of goodies there that will get you through the back nine.
