Course was in good shape for the time of the year, mowers were out working . A little soft in some areas , greens were in good shape. Generally course is overpriced compared to other courses on the island, unless you book through golfnow

Great weather

Pleasant day, good course, friendly staff. With out wet winter the course was understandably damp. Ground crews were out cutting fairways, greens were already cut, rolled and in excellent condition, and with a few days of good weather the course will be back to its usual excellent rating. We received Excellent value. Thank you to Alberni for being part of Golf Now.

Great value and always quiet in the afternoons. Best bar staff and friendliest on the Island. Always an enjoyable day when we get to play at Alberni and not a tough walk.

Golfing in November!

even after a fair amount of rain, drainage improvements were noticed. Wouldn't have played here four years ago in the winter months. Now it is definitely playable all year around. Main other improvements too.

Nice course

This is the second or third time I played Alberni. It's a nice course that is fairly forgiving. Fairways are pretty open and relatively easy to recover from a bad shot. Lost a couple to the water, which can be challenging in some spots. Greens were in good condition considering the dry weather as were the fairways. Overall a good experience on a nice course.

Course was in good shape considering the drought. Fast greens and ball rolls forever. A few very difficult holes on the back 9.

Nice course

Only had time for 9 holes. It was raining hard the night before and on the day I golfed. It stopped about 20 mins before I teed off. The drainage was fantastic! I didn't get wet and there were no soggy spots that I came across. Greens were beautiful as was the entire front 9. The ball still ran after hitting the fairways even though it rained allot. I was dill and did 9 holes in one hour fifteen mins. Beautiful course that is challenging.
