Just two hours north of Victoria one comes across the scenic beach resort town of Parksville, and home to the Les Furber designed Morningstar Golf Club. Morningstar has a dynamic layout with a great mix of interesting and challenging holes. As host club to three "Canadian Tour" events, Morningstar is a great test and a most memorable golf experience.

i made peace with my self on this course

beginner for 5 months, i had an amazing day with an amazing friend.
Walking the course opened my eyes on the beauty of the area and allowed me some reflexion on the true meaning of happiness , i pushed my expectations behind my limits 113 for 18 holes, thank you for that. Some might complaint about the cold, the wetness and the mud but this was true golf on an amazing course.

Challenging for sure but fair. Look forward to playing there again

I'm a senior so don't hit the ball too far. Great challenge from white tees. I really enjoyed it. Greens were good for this time of year. Fairways not tight but made me plan each shot. Number 1 handicap hole is a real challenge for sure. Absolutely no room for error! Par 3's all great. Great birdie opportunities on par 5's but bunkers definitely come into play. Par 4's were difficult for me. Only 1 par.

A great challenge from the back tees.

The course was very wet but was still playable. When wet I'd recommend using the forward tees. Challenging layout with a variety of hazards, all well maintained. I would strongly recommend taking a cart as there is considerable distance between some greens and tees. I look forward to playing it again.

One of my Vancouver Island top 5.

Great course and softer fall conditions put a premium on solid tee shots. Seemed like extra tough pins today - enjoyed the challenge more than my score.

Deceptively challenging!

This is an above average course that I have played before. They had punched the greens a few days before so greens were a little slower than usual. We all know though that is part of maintenance and shows they are doing it. I have played the greens in the summer and they are fast and have lots of contour. I think this course held an LPGA tournament or was rated for it a number of years back so that is the quality of it. All in all a great day.

So much sand, you'll feel like your at the beach!

Plenty of sand traps on this course. The rough is long and easy to loose your ball. Nicely kept course with lots of challenging holes. It was extremely foggy when we played which took away from the beauty of this course. Got a great deal on golf now ($23 for the round). This course is relatively expensive compared to others in the area
