Gorge Vale is a golfer’s golf course. There’s something about the course that seems to take you back in time to course that was built around a true golfer’s dream. While you might feel like you are stepping back in time, everything about this marvelous layout is state-of-the-art modern. The course has gone through a major face-lift to improve drainage and alignment.

Gorge Vale is one of three Victoria-area courses used as a regular stop on the Canadian Professional Golf Tour. It’s got length; plenty of sand, water, and the rolling nature of many of the fairways will test your balance on your swing. The course dates back to 1930 under the design of A.V. Macan.

When you talk about a course that has everything, few courses can says they have a working cemetery in its midst. A fully function naval cemetery awaits you along the right side of the 399 yard par four, 12th. It’s uphill almost the entire hole and one of the area’s great golf holes.
Speaking of favourite holes, because of the fine layout of this course, each hole has its own character and style. Try number four on for size. Just a shade over 300 yards in length will tempt the heavy hitters to try and reach this green with a drive. Like hungry alligators there are several greenside bunkers just waiting to snatch your ball if you try such a shot. Try and play a little too ‘cute’ and there’s water in front. Smart money says hit one about 190 yards and snake in a comfortable wedge for a birdie try on the two-tiered green.

Gorge Vale has something of a rarity with courses today. There's a full-length practice area that allows you to hit shots off grass. A large chipping area is adjacent to this practice area. If you plan to play Gorge Vale, tighten up the laces a little extra on your shoes, take out the ball you trust will fly the furthest and truest and bless your putter with a special prayer. Gorge Vale Golf Club is a treasure.
