Victoria Golf Club

Victoria Golf Club

Victoria Golf Club is a picturesque golf course located in the city of Oak Bay, British Columbia, Canada, which is part of metropolitan Victoria. It was established in 1893, and is now the oldest golf club in Canada still located on its original site; which is a rocky point on the southereastern end of Vancouver Island, overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It is also one of Canada's few courses that are open for play throughout the year, although parts of the course have sometimes suffered from coastal storms. Several holes provide views of the ocean.

The course today plays to par 70 for men, 73 for women, and its length is just over 6,000 yards from the back tees.

The club celebrated its centennial in 1993, by hosting the Canadian Amateur Championship. The club recently received permission to use the prefix 'Royal', and is one of only six golf clubs in Canada with this designation.
