I always like to play Crown Isle at least once when visiting the Comox Valley in the summer. The course was very well groomed with good-sized greens that were lush and fast (but not ridiculous). The fairways and sand traps were in great shape. I had an early morning tee time with three club members. I thought they might resent an outsider, but instead they welcomed me with open arms. Very laid back and with a great sense of humour. It was also fantastic that they were all walkers (golf is a walking game). We kept up a decent pace and were not bothered by the marshal. They have a great restaurant with an outdoor patio overlooking the 18th green (you can get a snack there after the playing the 9th hole). The course is built around a community, but unlike some I have played, almost none of the the houses are in play unless you hit a really bad tee shot.
