Fairwinds Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to play Fairwinds Golf Club?

We always recommend the shoulder seasons, late April to early June or September to October, for Fairwinds. You'll find the course in fantastic shape, the weather is usually perfect for golf, and you avoid the peak summer crowds and prices that can make tee times tough to snag.

What makes Fairwinds' back nine so challenging?

The back nine at Fairwinds truly tests your game with its dramatic elevation changes and tighter fairways. Hole 14, a downhill par-3 over a deep ravine, is a real beauty and a beast - you'll need to commit to your club selection or face a tricky recovery.

Is Fairwinds a good course for a casual round, or is it more for serious golfers?

Fairwinds strikes a great balance, making it enjoyable for both casual rounds and more serious play. While the course offers plenty of challenge from the back tees, the forward tees are very forgiving, letting you appreciate the stunning views without feeling overly punished.

What's the best way to unwind after a round at Fairwinds?

You absolutely have to grab a drink and a bite on the clubhouse patio after your round - the views over the Strait of Georgia are spectacular. We love their local craft beer selection and the fish tacos are surprisingly good, making for a perfect end to your day.

How does Fairwinds compare to other golf experiences on Vancouver Island?

Fairwinds offers a distinctly relaxed yet refined experience compared to some of the bigger resort courses on the island. It feels more like a local gem with championship-level conditioning, providing excellent value for a round with those incredible ocean vistas without the resort price tag.
