Check out GolfBC courses, which offer the most naturally beautiful and challenging golf found north of the equator. Go ahead— dream a little and indulge yourself in some of the best golf experiences nature has to offer. Vancouver/Whistler MAYFAIR LAKES GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB With the towering beauty of Vancouver's North Shore Mountains serving as a backdrop, Mayfair Lakes in Richmond is a genuine golf sanctuary, offering year- round golf in a secluded country ambiance that's just minutes from Vancouver. The intrigue lies in the abundance of lakes and waterways that come into play on 13 of the 18 holes, adding as much challenge as aesthetic appeal to the course. NICKLAUS NORTH GOLF COURSE Snowcapped Whistler peaks. A brilliant emerald-coloured lake. Majestic fir trees. Fresh, invigorating mountain air. Whistler golf at its finest. This is the setting that inspired the great Jack Nicklaus to create a golf course as unique as himself. This par 71, 18-hole course winds along a gentle valley floor offering you a spectacular setting as your golfing skills are tested to the fullest. Vancouver Island ARBUTUS RIDGE GOLF CLUB The Arbutus Ridge Golf Club is located in the seaside community of Cobble Hill, a 25-minute drive from the outskirts of Victoria. The golf course and clubhouse are specifically designed to offer some of the most stunning views on Vancouver Island amongst the characteristic Arbutus trees. The back nine climbs a ridge to overlook the Satellite Channel where you will find the Satellite Bar & Grille, including wrap around patio and ocean views. OLYMPIC VIEW GOLF CLUB Olympic View Golf Club, aptly named for its beautiful views of Washington State's Olympic Mountains, is located just 20 minutes outside of Victoria's downtown core. Rated 'Top 10 Best Public Golf Facility' in British Columbia by ScoreGolf Magazine, and previously ranked within the Top 50 Golf Courses in Canada by the Golf Course Ranking and ScoreGolf Magazines, Olympic View is home to Canada's mildest winters, allowing visitors and locals alike to enjoy award-winning golf all year round. GBC GOLF ACADEMY The GBC Golf Academy brings together teaching instructors with two of Vancouver Island's most scenic golf destinations: Olympic View and Arbutus Ridge. Offering personalized individual lessons, fun group clinics, entertaining corporate excursions, fitness evaluation assessments, golf and tennis packages and a world-class golf school, the GBC Golf Academy has proven to be B.C.'s most advanced teaching facility. The Okanagan GolfBC is pleased to offer two wonderful facilities centrally located in the beautiful Okanagan Valley. The Okanagan Golf Club, a 36-hole facility consisting of The Bear and The Quail courses, and Gallagher's Canyon are both nestled amongst spectacular ponderosa pine forests and emerald greens. If time is limited and you want to be able to enjoy all the highlights of the breathtaking city of Kelowna, perhaps the 9-hole mid-length executive Pinnacle Course at Gallagher's Canyon would be more fitting. OKANAGAN GOLF CLUB: THE BEAR COURSE Planned by Nicklaus Design to ignite your passion for the game, The Bear's 18-hole, 6,885 yard, part 72 masterpiece design opened for play in 1999 and is unlike any other golf course in British Columbia. With dramatic sculpted fairways surrounded by the forests and sage brush hills of B.C.'s sun-drenched southern interior, The Bear continued on pg. 15 Hole #18 at Nicklaus North Golf Course.
