Bear Mountain Golf Course - Mountain Course

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.
