If you’re anything like us, you’re always dreaming of your next golf vacation. After all, golf isn’t just a sport; it’s a way of life. The Vancouver Island Golf Trail knows that and how to make the most of it. Not only does the Trail boast year-round golf, but it also has the Island lifestyle to match. Think vibrant cities, myriad year-round activities and incredible getaway deals. While for many, golf is the primary reason for visiting Vancouver Island (and who are we to argue?), there’s so much more to do here. Enter the “Perfect 48-Hour Golf Trip” in Victoria: everything you need to know, as well as our golf travel experts’ top tips to plan a perfect 48-hour golf vacation.
Victoria has repeatedly been named in Condé Nast Traveler Magazine’s Top 10 Cities in the Americas, as well as the No. 2 small city in the world – visit just once and you’ll understand precisely why. This vibrant city is teeming with activities, adventure, fantastic dining, nightlife, romance and, of course, unforgettable golf. Read on to make the most of 48 hours in this city that really has it all.
Start your 48-hour luxury trip by flying into Victoria International Airport (YYJ) on one of the many flights onto the Island, then pick up a ride with L.A. Limousines. Our golf travel experts work closely with their transportation coordinators to assist in meeting the needs of both small and large groups, from the planning stages to on-site arrival and departure coordination. Prefer to be in the driver’s seat? We also work with Vancouver Island’s leading car rental service, National Car & Truck Rental. Now it’s time to hit the road – or Trail, as the case may be.
Now the real fun begins. Choose from one of many Victoria short-stay golf packages for your 48-hour stay-and-play golf fix! Spoiled for choice? Our staff pick is undoubtedly the Victoria Five-Star Weekend. Experience lavish accommodations in the heart of vibrant downtown Victoria, with seemingly endless restaurants, attractions and activities on your doorstep, and truly phenomenal courses you can play year-round just a short drive away. The Victoria Five-Star Weekend gets you:
Highland Pacific Golf is a jewel of the Vancouver Island Golf Trail. Its lush fairways thread through majestic landscapes of West Coast forest, rock, fescue, and natural water features. Take in panoramic views of the city of Victoria, Olympic Mountains, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Bear Mountain, and Thetis Lake Park. Highland Pacific is a must play for both locals and destination golfers!
The challenging design at Olympic View Golf Club might quicken your heartrate, but the natural magnificence and tranquility of the course setting will leave you feeling calm and centered. Boasting 12 lakes, two waterfalls, stunning mountain views and roaming wildlife, a round at Olympic View is one for the record books.
Are you ready for your Victoria Five-Star Weekend?
Another fan favourite, and our most popular golf package on the Vancouver Island Golf Trail, is the Victoria Golf Getaway Weekend, which offers:
The Valley Course at Bear Mountain Golf Club meanders through forests, borders lakes, and traverses creeks while offering spectacular views of British Columbia’s beautiful landscape. Dramatic elevated tee boxes overlooking wide fairways and undulated greens keep golfers challenged throughout their round. With many picturesque holes throughout the course, it’s difficult to choose your favourite!
Après-golf, anyone? Victoria has plenty of it! From a do-it-yourself craft brewery tour, starting at Vancouver Island Brewing; to post-golf muscle rejuvenation at one of Victoria’s world-class spas; to world-class dining, shopping and more, there is something for everyone to do post-golf.
Looking for something a bit more action-packed? Go whale watching with one of the country’s top whale watching businesses, Prince of Whales.
Whatever 48-hour Victoria golf getaway package and après-golf activities you choose, one thing comes standard: an experience you’ll never forget. Book your trip today!
