How can I find out more about the history of the oldest course in Canada in it's original location?
Check out the History section or read the 1993 centenary book written by Peter Corley-Smith (available from the VGC office).

When are you open?
Once in a Blue Moon, it snows in Victoria. That day, Victoria Golf Club is closed. But it's usually open the next day (the snow melts that quick)! Other than that, we're open every day - for more play than any other course in Canada – especially now that the $4m Drainage and Irrigation Upgrade is complete. (See 18 Facts about the Victoria Golf Club Drainage and Irrigation Project)

Are you easy to find?
Easy. Victoria Golf Club is as close as you can find golf to downtown Victoria. (See Directions). For more about Victoria, see About Victoria. To contact the club, see Contact or email victoriagc@victoriagolf.com.
