Fairway fever
Golf in paradise
For golfers wanting a little variety in their sport, golfing on the Gulf Islands is the answer.
Salt Spring, Gabriola, Galiano and Pender island courses are in the middle of a small paradise, which is ideal for people on holidays and those who want to experience something different from the usual busy urban golf course.
The courses are challenging and demand a different set of skills, but you can still relax and enjoy the unique environment each course offers. Nature abounds with deer on the fairways and eagles soaring above - to mention just a few of the courses' regular visitors.
We promise a golfing experience that will bring you back to the Gulf Islands!
