Mountain Course

Situated just minutes from Victoria's beautiful downtown harbor, the first of two Nicklaus Design golf courses at Bear Mountain features a stunning series of panoramic city, ocean and mountain views. Resting at the base of Mount Finlayson, Bear Mountain has combined superb playability with natural, west coast surroundings. Five tee selections vary from 5,783 - 7,083 yards ensuring the ultimate experience for every level of golfer.

After their first visit to this unique mountain-side setting, the design team of Jack Nicklaus and son Steve decided to add a 19th hole that is certain to draw visitors from far and wide. Typically, the 19th hole refers to the clubhouse but in the case of Bear Mountain it signifies a golf masterpiece like no other. This extra par 3 will certainly make it difficult to for golfers to keep their eyes on the ball. Facing Mount Baker, golfers are set to tee off into the beautiful Victoria city skyline, with the Olympic Mountains and the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop. The 19th hole offers the longest set of tees at 7,083 yards, making it one of the longest courses on Vancouver Island.

Valley Course

The opening of the first 9 holes of the second 18-hole championship golf course at Bear Mountain Golf & Country Club will be in the fall of 2008.

This second Nicklaus designed course - the "Valley" course will make Bear Mountain the only 36-hole Nicklaus designed golf resort in Canada. The new course is currently under construction and will be available to view on the Bear Mountain website shortly (www.bearmountain.ca).
