For the true golfer at heart, the measure of a great course, is where the memory of the golfing day stays with you for a long time after. Such a course is Bear Mountain. Newly opened in 2003, this Jack Nicklaus-designed lay out is magnificent from two stand points. First the grand layout uses the remarkable natural environment to 'place' a golf course amid the rocks and trees of Vancouver Island. The use of the natural setting is a stunning. Secondly, the panoramic views you get on portions of the course, deliver a stunning visual postcard of your day at Bear Mountain. Bring your camera.

The course is state-of-the-art in the service it delivers each golfer. Your green fee includes a cart seat. Each cart is equipped with GPS (Global Positioning System). Park your cart beside your ball and all the necessary information between your ball and the hole is clearly indicated. Please note - this is a cart-only course.The reason for this will become evident when you travel from green to the next tee. Speaking of tees, there are 5 tee boxes to choose from. This allows you to match your game to the length of course that suits you. Gone are the days of 'men's' and 'ladies' tees. Look at two factors in deciding which set of tees suits you. Consider the total yardage you feel comfortable playing (18 hole total) and next look at the 'slope' on the score card.

Bear Mountain is part of a larger and grander development. Bear Mountain Estates is the largest commercial - residential development ever on southern Vancouver Island. Take extra time to look over the plans for the area. You will be impressed.

One final suggestion - expect to spend a good portion of your day at this facility. Your round of golf will take about 4:40. The reason for the extra time is an extra hole. That's right - 19 holes! After you finish number 14, you get to play one of the most magnificent golf holes anywhere.

You don't add this hole your score card; you don't even have to play it. But what the heck? Here's where you have to have your camera ready. The city and mountains view from this hole are remarkable. See for yourself!

Because there is so much to see, get there well ahead of your tee time. Add to your warm-up at the start (you do warm-up don't you?), your post-game analysis, plus a look at the residential opportunities and you can see why a good portion of your day is necessary.

Bear Mountain is not only a golf course - it's a golfing memory in the making!
