The Masters On 18
The Masters On 18 was the perfect base for our golfing holiday! Perfectly
situated we played four different courses on our golfing adventure. We started
at Bear Mountain, what a scenic course, and their staff made us feel like
VIP’s.
Next stop was Cordova Bay, situated on the Strait of Juan de Fuca it offers
some spectacular holes and it was in wonderful condition for a public course.
We visited Bill Mattick's Restaurant & Lounge after our round, which
was the perfect way to complete our day, we also enjoyed a wonderful meal
& cocktails on their outside patio.
One day off of golfing for site seeing which including the famous “Butchart
Gardens” & “The Butterfly Gardens” both are beautiful spots to spend
part of your vacation.
Next stop, Olympic View, surrounded by the gorgeous Olympic Mountains, Olympic
view plays in harmony with nature and wildlife. We loved the 17th hole with
the fabulous waterfall; they also had a wonderful practice facility so plan
on going early!
The Gorge Vale was our next stop, only 10 minutes from downtown Victoria
the Gorge as the locals refer to it was in top shape and offered a very interesting
lay out and some very challenging holes.
A day off for a little fishing, which was awesome, we were fortunate to bring
home a tasty salmon for our barbecue. We saw sea lions and even a pod of
killer whales, what a treat!
Our last day was spent at Arbutus Ridge, which offered spectacular vistas
of the Satellite Channel and snow-capped peak of Mount Baker.
Our lovely vacation home “The Masters On 18” was walking distance to the
Bear Mountain Village, which offered a fitness facility complete with salt-water
pool and hot tub, which sure felt great after a perfect day on the links
as well as multiple dining opportunities if we didn’t feel like cooking
in our gourmet kitchen. Just Heaven!! |
