AN OUTSTANDING GOLF CLUB
Home to the first and only Nicklaus Design golf course on Vancouver Island, Bear Mountain Resort stands apart as one of the finest golf resorts anywhere. It's Jack and Steve Nicklaus co-designed Mountain Course is an 18-hole, 6891-yard par- 70 course that excites scratch golfers and challenges novices. The course is carved from naturally 
rugged terrain with dramatic changes in elevation and slope. Tall pines, firs and arbutus trees, jutting rocks, rivers, and valleys distinguish the courses and offer the perfect backdrop for stunning views of surrounding snow-capped peaks, the coastline and Victoria Harbour. The Mountain Course also features a 19th betting hole, with spectacular views of Victoria Harbour.
The resort expanded its exceptional golf in June 2009 with the opening of the Nicklaus Design Valley Course. This 18-hole, par-71 championship course measures approximately 6807 yards. The Valley Course plays at a lower elevation than the Mountain Course it alternates between 300 and 400 feet above sea level compared to the 1100 feet that the Mountain Course rises to at its peak. The Valley Course is slightly more forgiving than its sister, featuring wider fairways and larger greens flanked by fragrant forests. The Valley course meanders through forest, bordering lakes, all while offering spectacular views of Vancouver Island's beautiful landscape.
The Bear Mountain Golf Academy was introduced in 2010 and offers coaching programs, ladies only lessons, and golf schools all under the direction of two of Canada’s award winning and most sought after CPGA instructors, John Randle and Lori Hamstra.
