Olympic View Golf Club
Olympic View Golf Club, owned & operated by GolfBC, is located just 20 minutes from downtown Victoria on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. Victoria is the capital of British Columbia and enjoys Canada’s mildest winters, allowing for year-round golf.
Olympic View Golf Club boasts a variety of golf holes that constitute individual masterpieces. The magnificence of the Olympic Mountains, roar of two spectacular waterfalls, harmony of eagles soaring and deer grazing, calmness of twelve lakes and the stylish rock outcroppings deliver an award winning golf experience. If some of the golf shots on this target venue quicken your pulse, the tranquility of our setting should help to calm and center you. It’s no wonder this was the first golf course in British Columbia that Tiger Woods played, as an amateur in 1994. The 17th hole encompasses enough natural beauty for an entire course. From the tee, aim toward a 40 foot hawaiianesque waterfall that frames the green 417 yards away.
The GBC Golf Academy
Olympic View also hosts the award winning GBC Golf Academy. Director of Instruction Jeff Palmer leads a team of experienced instructors who are dedicated to improving your game.
