About
Overlooking the Georgia Strait, Fairwinds Golf Club occupies a scenic stretch of land on the East Coast covered with towering Douglas Firs and Garry Oak trees. An abundance of wildlife also inhabits the course. It is not rare to see deer during a round or an eagle flying overhead. The oceanfront golf course features water on 11 holes and there are more than 70 sand bunkers strategically guarding the greens and fairways. Les Furber designed the course, incorporating subtle nuances in the greens that make them much more challenging than they appear. Fairwinds is often thought of as a "thinking course" as it requires careful strategy in order maneuver the contoured greens and tree-lined fairways. Seasoned golfers may be able to uncover some hidden birdie opportunities. Known not only for the challenging round, Fairwinds Golf Club boasts pristine conditions, which has made it a popular golfing destination.

Staff were great at front desk and no problems with paperwork.
We very much enjoyed the course and the friendly staff at front desk. Our first time using golfnow and will use again !!! Thanks golfnow !!!
This course has a great location
Co
urse is well maintained and although back 9 is hilly the course is still walkable. Booking on line made the course good value for money. I would recommend this course to both avid and causal golfer with enough challenge to keep both happy.
Every hole is different
They have done a lot of drainage work to the course which makes it very nice even in some damp weather. Each hole is different and fun to play. Greens in great condition, lots of wildlife to enjoy during your round. Recommended.
Gerat course, great condition
This course is well grumed and in great condition, a cart is advisable but it is walkable
Rewards accuracy over length. Very scenic.
The conditions were really excellent for so early in the season. Resort style course with lots of elevation changes and great views. A number of unusual, shorter par 4's, but each one requires an accurate tee shots.
A very beautiful friendly course in great shape for the season.
we dropped in to this course on the way back to Vancouver. The front nine was closed and we played the back nine twice. The course was in excellent shape for the season with excellent greens. Some of the fairways were pretty wet as expected. Pace was good and we had no problem getting around in just over 4 hours. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will definately come back to see what it is like in the spring or summer
I really like this course.
great greens and nice fairways. always enjoy playing this course.
