Located in Qualicum Beach, this 18-hole golf course has a unique layout that makes it perfect for ambitious golfers who appreciate a challenge.
The first three holes are traditional links style, followed by nine tighter holes located in a thick cluster of fir and cedar trees. The challenge increases as you move through the course with highlights on the 14th and 17th holes.
The 14th hole has lakes on both sides and a menacing pot bunker protecting the large green. The 17th hole has a narrow landing area, huge green-side bunkers and a tiered narrow green. Massive evergreens line the fairway.
The beautiful log clubhouse was built more than 70 years ago and is home to Talons Restaurant and Lounge – a lovely spot overlooking the 13th green. Keep an eye out for their comedy and/or movie nights!
