COTTONWOOD GOLF COURSE REVIEWS

Trent, Rob, Doris and the rest of the Cottonwood team are always friendly. Great course to both sharpen your skills and have fun with your friends. Would highly recommend Cottonwood for an affordable round in the summer.

We haven't golfed here yet, however, food and service is excellent. Nothing on the menu over $20. Great prices on the beverages. It's a must go to place for a meal.

Course was in good shape , Pro shop personal very friendly. Rates were good. Played 18 holes in 4 hours.

NANAIMO GOLF CLUB REVIEWS

Nanaimo Golf Club is one of the nicest golf clubs on Vancouver Island. The course is super manicured and challenging. It also drains well in the winter and has some excellent views of the water. It has a nice range to practice your skills as well as pro shop staff to teach you the swing. The pro shop by the way is top notch with products and service to match. Service was spot-on.

As usual. The best place to spend a nice sunny day. Great views, great food and great company.

Beautiful golf course in the middle of the city. Great event space for private functions.

PRYDE VISTA GOLF COURSE REVIEWS

Always a fun yet challenging par 3 course....the staff always make me feel at home and are very friendly...If you catch it on the right day, they may have even brought in some homemade cookies that are delicious!

Awesome 9 hole course in the city, we absolutely love it. Wife and I always have a good time. Friendly staff (both in the clubhouse and the groundscrew) very pleasant to interact with. Can't wait to bring my son.

Lots of fun. The lady who helped us at the desk was super friendly , clear , and supportive of our clear lack of golfing skill. Would definitely come again!
