Olympic View Golf Club

Overview: Olympic View Golf Club sits west of Victoria in a coastal forest setting, where rolling ground, tree-lined holes and views toward the Olympic Mountains create the course’s distinctive identity. Bill Robinson built the 18-hole, par-72 layout in 1990, and the club lists a 6,600-yard reference. The routing rewards accuracy through changing elevations, with lakes, forest edges and dramatic waterfalls providing both scenery and strategic consequences.

History: Olympic View has been part of the GolfBC family of premium destination courses in British Columbia, but its character is more natural and local than a hotel-resort course. The official course information presents it as a year-round property, supported by a full practice facility, academy and restaurant. That combination has made the club a useful Victoria-area base for golfers who want a complete visitor facility without leaving Vancouver Island’s coastal landscape.

Did You Know? Olympic View’s course guide counts two waterfalls and twelve lakes among the features of the property, while also noting that deer and eagles are part of the surrounding wildlife. Those details are more than brochure decoration: the water, changing elevation and forest margins are threaded through the routing, giving the course a strong sense of place from the opening tee to the final green.
