Hot weather
Used cart

Best coarse for the money on the island.

This coarse rewards straight tee shots and punishes wayward ones. Greens are in the best shape they have ever been and fairways are mowed tight and well watered and green even with the hot weather. Sand traps could use some sand.

The staff was very rude

After 9 holes wanted to grab some food. They informed as then that the kitchen closed at 4:00... this was at 4:10. Then talked to us like idiots, as we were suppose to know this and did nothing to even offer any attempt at solution for a substitution. We will not be returning.

Need a Haz-Mat Suit to Play

This is a course I’ve played one or twice in the past year, and I would certainly have recommended it up until this last round (or half round). I would have appreciated knowing about the recent application of weed treatment chemicles prior to traveling out from Parksville to play. I came across the warning sign at the 10th hole. No one in the pro shop bothered to inform me prior to play. I think this is inexcusable. To only be offered a 9 hole complimentary pass to return another day was a poor business call. This was due to booking through Golf Now - why were penalized? The round wasn’t cheap, but the staff said if we had booked through the pro shop they would have refunded us 18 holes. Anyhow, that’s my most recent experience.

Long time

It had been at least 10 years since I played Alberni GC - we had trouble remembering how to find it The pro shop was friendly and set us up with a local member as a threesome. The course and weather were good - not so much with the scoring We had a quick bite afterwards - good homemade food. I would recommend this course to anyone.

Well worth playing

Excellent course. Approaches to the greens where a little spongy but that was minor. This course is a good challenge and great to play.

The course offers some good challenges. Only complaint we had is that the next hole wasn't well signed, especially finding 14 after playing 13. Other places it seemed you have to cross the wrong hole before you get to the right one. Greens and fairways in great shape. Beautiful setting!

Fun course to play with some challenging holes.

Always enjoy playing this course. Some parts fairly easy but some other parts quite challenging. Greens were in great shape. The fairways were a bit shaggy, and in need of a cut.
