Arbutus Ridge Golf Club
Arbutus Ridge Golf Club’s Tourism Sustainability Award and Four Star Golf Digest Rating make it the first choice for golf on Vancouver Island!
Arbutus Ridge was specifically designed to offer some of the most stunning views on Vancouver Island amongst the characteristic Arbutus tree. The front nine weaves through a seaside community and the back nine climbs a ridge to overlook the Satellite Channel. The golf course is directly surrounded by nine wineries and was rated One of the Top 10 Golf Courses in Canada for Value by Westjet Up! Magazine in 2010. Arbutus Ridge is a terrifically scenic 20 minute drive north from the outskirts of Victoria and a 40 minute drive south from Nanaimo.The drive will prepare you for some of the spectacular views and pure natural charm awaiting at the golf club.
Your finale at Arbutus Ridge heightens your memory, with three of the most demanding finishing holes on Vancouver Island, punctuated by the knee-rattling 214-yard par 3 island green on the 17th hole.
Head straight to the Satellite Bar & Grille and be sure to enjoy one of BC’s most scenic patio’s overlooking the 18th hole. Inside the clubhouse you will find a relaxing lounge and upscale dining room. The handsome, glass-fronted clubhouse juts over a hill, looking out to nearby islands and can host a group up to 220 guests.
