Arbutus Ridge Golf Club
thoughtful. scenic.

Arbutus Ridge Golf Club's Tourism Sustainability Award and Four Star Golf Digest Rating make it a must play on the Vancouver Island Golf Trail. The golf course is directly surrounded by nine wineries and offers some of the most stunning views on Vancouver Island amongst the characteristic Arbutus tree in the foreground. The front nine weaves alongside the seaside community of Cobble Hill and the back nine climbs a ridge to overlook the Satellite Channel. In 2010 the golf course was rated One of the Top 10 Golf Courses in Canada for Value by Westjet Up! Magazine. Arbutus Ridge is a terrifically scenic 20 minute drive north from the outskirts of Victoria in the heart of the Cowichan wine region and a 40 minute drive south from Nanaimo.

Your finale at Arbutus Ridge is punctuated by the knee-rattling 214-yard par 3 island green on the 17th hole. Head straight to the Satellite Bar & Grille and be sure to enjoy one of BC's most scenic patio's overlooking the 18th hole. Inside the clubhouse you will find a relaxing lounge and upscale dining room. The handsome, glass-fronted clubhouse juts over a hill, looking out to nearby islands. The GBC Golf Academy at Arbutus Ridge boasts award winning instruction, a full-featured practice facility with 5 target greens, two short game areas and panoramic mountain views.

"Arbutus Ridge's Sales and Events Coordinator is the best in customer service that I have encountered at any golf facility, and better than most high caliber hospitality outlets I have stayed in or worked with.  I have attended many golf tournaments and have yet to experience service and hospitality that is superior to our event at Arbutus Ridge"

“The General Manager, department manager and team members are wonderful, respectful, helpful, and hard working individuals.  The view is spectacular and guests/members tend to be appreciative.  I am impressed with the initiative that the golf course has taken to be environmentally friendly in comparison to other businesses.  The promotion of people to continue or begin to play golf with a positive attitude through GolfBC is an achievement.”
