Victoria, capital of British Columbia, sits on the craggy southern end of Vancouver Island. With abundant parkland, it’s known for outdoor activities. The city's British colonial past shows in its Victorian architecture, including stately Craigdarroch Castle mansion. Butchart Gardens, with 55 acres of vivid floral displays, plus statuary, water features and a carousel, is one of many formal gardens in the city.
Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful small cities in the world, Victoria really does offer it all. For starters, it's located on Vancouver Island, which boasts the best climate in Canada and a 12-month golf season.
What's not to love about Olympic View Golf Club? It offers great views and interesting holes for a reasonable green fee. On beautiful Vancouver Island nearby charming Victoria, the golf course resembles its surroundings - peaceful, unhurried and unique. But don't underestimate this seemingly benign, relatively short layout. It presents a championship-level challenge, Mike Bailey writes.
Co-designed by Jack Nicklaus and son Steve, the Mountain Course at Bear Mountain Resort is the jewel of resort golf on Vancouver Island. The course features great views of Victoria, its Inner Harbour and Olympic Mountains.
