    FAQ’s – Golf Trail Pass goes digital

    Why did the Vancouver Island Golf Trail Card go digital?

    Going digital comes with many benefits. The digital Golf Trail Pass prevents loss/theft, is easily accessible from your mobile device, and includes additional offers and exclusive Golf Trail Pass promotions.

    How does the Golf Trail Pass work now that it’s digital?

    After purchase, pass holders save the Golf Trail Pass to the home screen of their mobile device. Rounds and other offers are redeemed through the pass. Just follow the prompts in front of a staff member at the facility so they can witness the redemption and you’re all set!

    Passes contain round redemptions for one round at 11 of our featured courses along the Golf Trail, as well as additional partner offers.

    How many Golf Trail Passes can I purchase?

    You may purchase up to a maximum of four (4) Trail Passes.

    Can I purchase multiple passes and transfer them to others?

    Yes, you can transfer Golf Trail Passes to another person after purchase, however, Golf Trail Passes may only be transferred once. So, if a pass has been transferred to you, then you cannot transfer it again. (Questions about multiple users or the transfer process? See below.)

    You may transfer passes to others through the Vancouver Island Golf Trail Pass after purchase. See FAQs in the Golf Trail Pass for further details after purchase.

    What happens if I want to gift a single round to a friend?

    The trail pass is not intended to be shared among multiple users, but we understand that this is a feature that many golfers have come to rely on, so there are a few ways to provide a second user with access to your card. The easiest would be to share the welcome email (received upon purchase or transfer) and have the friend open the link in the email on their phone. This should give access to the card immediately as it uses the direct link and ID. They do not need to add the pass to their device and can access it via their browser to redeem that single round.

    ​Note: Golf Vancouver Island is not responsible for lost or stolen passes – if you are sharing passes, it comes with increased security risks. We can not provide reimbursement or support if a second user redeems rounds or offers that were not intended for their use. If you choose to share your card, you are doing so at your own risk. 

    How do I transfer a pass?

    The transfer process is very easy! After purchase, you may transfer passes to others by using the transfer feature in the Vancouver Island Golf Trail Pass. It is as easy as entering their email address and the system will send them a welcome email to guide them through the acceptance process. However, Golf Trail Passes may only be transferred once. Please make sure to transfer passes one at a time to the final recipient.

    Note: passes can not be transferred once the first redemption has been made. There will be additional FAQs in the Golf Trail Pass for further details after purchase.  

     

    When will I receive my Golf Trail Pass?

    Once your purchase is complete, you will instantly receive and have access to your Golf Trail Pass. Please note that your Trail Pass will not be valid until January 1, 2024.

    What payment methods are accepted?

    We can process credit card payments and debit VISA/Mastercard payments.

    This (Bear Mountain Resort – Mountain Course, on the Vancouver Island Golf Trail) is my new favourite golf course – I just love the layout. It’s really one of the prettiest golf courses I’ve played in my life, I’ll come back here on vacation, it’s that good.

    Scott McCarron, PGA TOUR Champion

    I always treat golf courses as how many poor holes there are. This (Bear Mountain Resort – Mountain Course, on the Vancouver Island Golf Trail) is a very good one. There’s not one poor hole on this golf course.

    Colin Montgomerie, PGA TOUR Champion

    Great job on the initial booking and subsequent changes requested. Easy check-in at the golf courses and the hotel made the trip hassle-free. Nice touch with the driving directions and discounts at recommended food and beverage establishments. Will definitely recommend your service to friends and business associates.
