A yearly trip to Bear Mountain has become almost a tradition for my son and me. We usually play both the mountain and the valley courses, but our last trip they were sanding/aerating the valley course.

Despite the changes and development to the Mountain course since it's opening the course remains challenging and beautiful. In fact the 14th hole, looking out over Victoria and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, is one of the most picturesque holes I have ever played.

There are a lot of elevation changes and you need to plan your shots. The greens have always been well maintained and played consistently when we have been there. The valley course is more forested than the mountain course at this point.
