Located just outside Victoria, British Columbia, the Mountain Course at Bear Mountain Resort is a breathtaking Jack Nicklaus-designed championship course that has become a must-play for golfers across Canada and beyond. Opened in 2003, this par-72 layout measures over 6,800 yards and is carved directly into the rugged mountainside, offering a challenging and unforgettable test of golf.
The Mountain Course is renowned for its dramatic elevation changes, panoramic views of Vancouver Island, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and Mount Baker in the distance. With rolling fairways, pristine bentgrass greens, and strategically placed bunkers, the course challenges players of all skill levels while rewarding creativity and precision.
One of its signature features is the par-3 14th hole, which plays across a deep valley to a green perched against a dramatic mountain backdrop—an iconic hole that showcases the raw beauty of the landscape. Each hole offers its own unique challenge, blending natural rock outcroppings, towering firs, and sweeping vistas into the design.
As part of Bear Mountain Resort, golfers enjoy world-class amenities including a luxurious clubhouse, fine dining, practice facilities, and access to the resort’s spa, tennis courts, and accommodations. The Mountain Course is also complemented by the Valley Course, giving visitors two premier Nicklaus-designed layouts in one destination.
