Morningstar Championship Golf, Tourism BC photo
Golfers bestride smartly manicured fairways – Morningstar Championship Golf Course , Fairwinds Golf Club, and various courses in nearby Qualicum Beach – year-round in the Parksville area, taking necessary days off only when the winter rains leave unplayable puddles on the greens. Parksville is also known for its fun and imaginatively designed mini-golf courses. Morningstar Championship Golf Course Morningstar Championship Golf Course (525 Lowry's Road, north of town in French Creek) is a five-star championship course routinely used for top-calibre amateur and professional tournaments. Visitors hoping to reach that level or simply improve their handicap by a few strokes can sign up for brief lessons or multi-day camps at Morningstar's renowned Golf Academy. The links-style course is lined with mature trees, and a series of lakes, sand traps and tricky greens that make low scores a real achievement. Fairwinds Golf Club Sand isn't only found on local beaches. Fairwinds Golf Club (3730 Fairwinds Drive, in Nanoose Bay), with 70-plus bunkers scattered across 18 challenging holes, is an award-winning (1999 BCPGA Facility of the Year) course, and a serious test for nerves and sand wedges. Private and group lessons are available, and the oceanfront layout guarantees refreshing breezes on the hottest summer days. Golf Courses in Qualicum Beach Within a half-hour's drive of Parksville courses such as, Eaglecrest, Pheasant Glen, the Arrowsmith Golf & Country Club and the historic, circa 1913 Qualicum Beach Memorial Golf Club all green monsters and pleasant fairways.

Riptide Lagoon on Resort Drive near Rathtrevor Beach has two 18-hole layouts. Two more can be found at Paradise Fun Park, a family amusement zone just west of downtown that also features a kid-friendly bumper boat ride. Both facilities invoke laughs and merriment as the courses wind past and through caves, windmills, water wheels, pirate ships, churches and, at Paradise Fun Park, a giant storybook boot that local residents have voted as one of the region's "seven wonders."
