Great course. It would have been tough to find all the holes if we didn’t have a caddie to help us. Greens are hard to read and finding pace early is crucial, so take those extra practice putts before playing.

The course was wet. The wind was cool. A nice fall day on the course. Renting a golf car costs each player $20 for 18 holes. Does that seem high? 30 balls in a warm up bucket for $5...

Played 18 from the whites with friends on a nice fall day! The course was green and lush. The greens were almost back to normal from being punched and sanded a while ago and didnt affect putting. This is a fun golf course to play.

The course was in good shape overall. There are some great par 3s and some risk reward par 5s that make it a nice course to play. The par 4s are a good mix of challenging holes, easier holes, and target golf holes.The afternoon weather was perfect for the round. The fellow (45 to 55) at the pro shop was a bit of a misery at check in. He could probably be more friendly to keep people coming back.

I played 18 with a cart and it only cost me $25!! That is why I recommend this course. The greens were being punched and sanded the day I was there (Lucky me, lol). Oh well, it needs to be done. The greens are smallish, but I like that about this course. The fairways were wide and in decent shape. There were a few blind tee shots that are kinda goofy. Best to join a local for some tee shot tips. The tenth hole starts way out in the middle of the course, so you go past the clubhouse half way thru the 11th hole.
One last thing. The fellow in the pro shop age 40ish did not even look up at me when I walked in the door. I went and stood by the cash till for over a minute before he looked up at me, and he didn't say hello. He said, "can I help you?" I said hi, talked to him, and he stayed guarded for about 2 minutes before he warmed up and became friendly.

The course is in great shape. It is a very good course on Vancouver Island. A good mixture of holes with varying elevations. We had a great day!
