Vancouver Island is a must-visit destination, especially when the weather gets warmer, and we start heading into the late spring and early summer. The island boasts a perfect balance of raw, natural coastal landscapes intertwined with beautiful cities and quaint community regions. As days grow longer, golfers are encouraged to book their tee times for later afternoons to witness the beauty of Vancouver Island’s golden hour and fiery sunsets. Here are some spots to catch the greens aglow along the Vancouver Island Golf Trail.
