For my money, one of the best ' learn-to-play' golf courses in the Victoria region is the municipally owned and operated by the Capital Regional District. In an abbreviated manner, this fine little layout has everything a larger course might have. There's water galore, a bit of sand and some darn trees that might get in the way. The course is well drained and can be played year round. What sets this starter course apart from others are the grass tees. Many other courses of this type have artificial hitting mats at the tee boxes - yuk! The shortest hole is in the 80 yard range with the longest going about 165 yd.
There's no booking of tee times. You show up, pay your money and get in line to play. The golf course is part of a large sports and recreation complex in the area with an ice and curling rink, swimming pool, public library, tennis courts, soccer and softball fields, lawn bowling greens, a world class track cycling velodrome and newly opened Bear Mountain Arena. If this is your first time there, take a little extra time to check out the velodrome or maybe watch a game of bowls that's very near by.
