Best Golf course in Canada

R	Ryan Petersen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really like this course. Not a lot of altitude change so easy to walk and the layout is fairly simple for someone who only golfs a couple times a year.
L	Lindy Philip on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The management and owner of this lovely laid out course are unfortunately bullies. They are mandating mask wearing out side even know we are now at stage 3 with no masks necessary and this is outside. The way they treat their loyal customers over many years is astounding. Very totalitarian like . Literally banned the very loyal customer over 10’years who brought in many patrons to the course. Let alone a lot of money. The fear is incomprehensible. I would highly recommend going to a more civilized golf course just down the road at The Ridge in Cordova Bay. These are not people you want to support in business they have lost their kind manners and grace. The mask wearing outside has killed a few hundred brain cells forsure! Lindy Lovett is a tyrant.
M	M McLaren on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We have golfed at this course many times over the years and also more recently during Covid. We have always found the staff and management extremely friendly, courteous and helpful and have been very impressed with their Covid practices to keep both staff and patrons safe. At this time, with their ongoing mask requirements, they are simply attempting to continue to keep us all safe until everyone who wishes a second vaccine has had the opportunity to get one. It is definitely not too much to ask to put on a mask from check-in to the first tee and show some respect for the people around us. I appreciate the efforts made by the club management during this challenging time. The course is always in great shape, a pleasure to play and very well run by management. Highly recommend for a fun round of golf!
F	Francesca on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Mt. Doug Golf Course has been a staple on the Victoria golfing scene for the past 50 years for a reason - quality course, great management, and focus on customer experience. As a frequent user, I haven't seen this change even during the challenges COVID has brought to small business owners. The course management is responsible for ensuring the safety of staff and clients and have done so admirably, even trying to accommodate those few people who buy into anti-vacs/anti-mask thinking. Everyone has the right to their opinion, but no one has the right to book a tee time and then show up to berate and belittle staff because they think they can. Its good to hear people who act like this are banned because it ruins the experience for everyone around them. This course is a great place to relax and spend a few hours chasing par without having to watch the antics of the poorly behaved.
B	Bal Sekha on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have been playing at Mt Doug regularly since 1990, twice a week. The course just keeps improving with each season - the staff doesn’t need to. The course is in great shape and you couldn’t ask for nicer staff, especially for the past 3 or 4 years - they bend over backwards to accommodate. I haven’t witnessed staff being unkind to anyone but suspect if someone got surly or lippy with them, they would be within their rights to take appropriate action as it is a private course. From my experience, the staff and owners are appreciative of their golf patrons. I especially like that the website is kept updated so you know what the ground rules and conditions are before you get there. There is nothing demanded of clients that isn’t noted on the website which applies to all players so there are no surprises. The prices haven’t gone up for a few years so with the course improvements undertaken and the loss of business due to the pandemic, the increase is not out of line. I was concerned that the course may not survive the pandemic so am relieved and happy to pay a little more to keep a local business alive and well. Golfing at Mt Doug with my good friends is a favourite activity which I hope to do for many more years.
A	Angus boyd-porter on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great 9 hole course for anybody looking to try golf or go for a quick round. Farthest hole is 275 with many short range options. Incredibly forgiving, no sand traps and long fairways. Try mount doug golf course for a under 2 hour round.
J	Joanne on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Just wanted to state publicly that the staff at the Mt. Douglas Golf Course are not tyrannical nor rude. They have systems in place to ensure the safety of all staff, some of which are not fully vaccinated. Those patrons who chose not to abide by the rules (which continue to exist at many stores/establishments) need not visit the course. I have always enjoyed a pleasant round of golf at Mt. Doug. It is a clean and inviting course. Well maintained with rules in place for a reason when checking in and using the interior washrooms or shopping for golfing items. Attitudes need to be checked at the door and understand that most people don't support anti masking rhetoric. A little understanding goes a long way.
H	Hans J. Schneider on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Having played Mt Douglas Golf Course twice a week for a number of years now makes me appreciate living on the Saanich Peninsula and having the opportunity at my age to join my friends to play this nine hole executive course with such super management and friendly staff. The course is in great shape with a variety of greens. Although most of the fairways are wide open, the sixth hole is quite a challenge where the pond or creek have devoured some of my golf balls. My friends and I will continue to enjoy this wonderful course as long as we are upright. I am very sorry that I missed the comments made by Ms Phillips without making comment. I do agree with her that “this is a lovely laid out course” but from there we departed. I cannot comprehend someone challenging an enterprise that is attempting to ensure all visitors will be safe including wearing masks until you get onto the first tee. I know there is limited staff everywhere and you must appreciate the fact that on a small operation as this first and foremost staff and customers want to be safe from the Pandemic. Unfortunately, Ms Phillips got it all wrong - Mt Doug staff have better “manners and grace” and Lindy Lovett has no reason to apologize - we think very highly of her being a person that is only trying to ensure that we all are safe and have an enjoyable round of golf…yes, Lindy we do care for you and know all the trials and tribulations you must be going through….
