Two hours north of Victoria is a group of communities that make up the scenic beachfront "Oceanside" region. Fairwinds Golf Course in Nanoose Bay was designed by Les Furber. This challenging course is offers ocean views and is uniquely situated in a rain shadow, which makes for a very favourable climate.
Parksville's Morningstar Golf Course, also designed by Les Furber, is a Golf Digest 4-star course that's popular with local wildlife. And Qualicum Beach is home to Pheasant Glen Golf Resort, which has a spectacular view of Mount Arrowsmith. The course’s signature 17th hole finishes with a tiered green surrounded by water.
Scenic Mid-Island Golf Courses
Crown Isle Resort near Courtenay sits at the foot of the Beaufort Mountains, which are topped by the Comox Glacier. In Campbell River, the magnificent Storey Creek Golf Club was awarded an impressive 4.5 stars by Golf Digest. This course is set amidst old- and second-growth forest.

Practical Points

- Tee times should be booked in advance of arrival, especially in July and August.
- Many courses have a dress code in effect, so check ahead with the course or resort.
