Golf in Oak Bay

Golfers in Oak Bay proudly tell you they are able to golf 365 days a year – and they do, thanks to Oak Bay’s mild climate. Three courses, representing a range of difficulty and cost, offer a variety of options for the visiting golfer. Rugged coastline, the Olympic Mountains and majestic stands of ancient Garry Oak trees are some of the dramatic course settings.
