Victoria Golf Club, Tourism BC/Cathy Lukovich photo
Choose from more than 40 excellent golf courses on Vancouver Island. Select from golf courses in an urban setting by Victoria in the south, and courses near the wilderness of Campbell River in the north. Golf by the sparkling beaches of Parksville on the east coast or explore courses near the seaside villages of the Pacific Rim on the west.
Golf in Victoria and the Cowichan Valley
Victoria is home to several fantastic golf courses, including Bear Mountain Golf Resort, which hosted the Telus World Skins Game in 2010, and Olympic View Golf Club, a Golf Digest 4-star rated course with waterfalls, a dozen tranquil lakes and panoramas of the Olympic Mountains.
Or drive north to the Cowichan Valley and play a round at courses such as Arbutus Ridge Golf Club and Duncan Meadows Golf Course. After a game, unwind at one of the valley's wineries.
