Victoria Golf
Victoria may often be referred to as the ”garden" city but did you know it is also a year-round golfer’s haven surrounded by several championship courses?

It won’t take you long to discover that this city’s backyard is a wilderness playground with unparalleled ocean and mountain vistas, pristine forests and world-class greens. Breathtaking views at every turn and swing is “par for the course” in this southern Vancouver Island city.
Victoria has stand-out golf courses The Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort’s spectacular 19th hole is where jaws drop and 360 degree views of the Cascade and Olympic Mountains, Juan de Fuca Strait, Mount Finlayson and the city of Victoria begin. Co-designers Jack and Steve Nicklaus have created a golfing experience not to be missed. The course was voted #63 in Condé Nast Traveler ’s Golf Poll 2008, which ranks the top 100 courses worldwide. Olympic View Golf Club is perched high above Victoria and home to waterfalls, a dozen lakes and, as the names suggests, panoramas of the Olympic Mountains. Share the green with soaring eagles and grazing black-tailed deer. Only 20 minutes from downtown, golfers are immersed in one of the island’s great golf experiences.
A few things to remember for your golfing trip or excursion: Tee times should be booked in advance of arrival, especially during July and August. Many courses have a dress code in effect, so check ahead with the course or resort to see what to bring. Semi-private clubs welcome visitors but reservations should be made.
