Thursday July 29, 2010
Arrive and transfer to the world famous Fairmont Empress Hotel which sits directly above the beautiful inner harbour. A welcome dinner
and drinks is planned at one of Victoria’s finest dining establishments, Pescatores which is conveniently located just a few steps away from
the Empress!
Friday July 30, 2010
We begin the Victoria Experience with a round at Cordova Bay. With immaculate course conditions and a forgiving and fun layout the
course is consistently rated as one of the best courses in British Columbia. Golfers off all skill levels will enjoy playing the course as well
as admiring nearby Mount Baker which can be seen numerous times during your round.
Saturday July 31, 2010
A day off to help you relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Victoria. We have organized a relaxing late afternoon paddle around breathtaking
Brentwood Bay. After the round we will make a visit to Victoria’s #1 attraction at Butchart Gardens. With over 55 acres of amazing
floral display this truly is a magnificent experience that you don’t want to pass up. After your tour around the gardens we have organized
a dinner in their dining room for you to enjoy great local cuisine and a wonderful atmosphere. As the sun sets we will make our way
to the massive lawn to sprawl out and to enjoy the Saturday ritual of their fantastic firework show.
Sunday August 1, 2010
Our second round of golf will be played at the appropriately named Olympic View Golf Course. Nestled deep inside a pristine Vancouver
Island forest, Olympic View first impresses as you survey the horizon from the first tee, where staggered peaks of the Olympic Mountains
seem to pierce the sky above.
Monday August 2, 2010
A highlight today as you play Jordan’s favourite course in all of Canada at Royal Colwood.
Designed by Arthur Vernon Macan in 1913, the 135 acre layout has been left virtually unchanged.
Walking alongside the massive Douglas fir trees and strategically placed Oak trees,
your round will be played in awe as one may have the feeling you’re playing in a cathedral.
Tuesday August 3, 2010
Another day off to enjoy a whale watching tour with Orca Spirit Adventures. Afterwards
feel free to stroll around the quaint downtown core of Victoria and enjoy the many boutiques.
Wednesday August 4, 2010
A change in venues today as we head to a spectacular setting and Jordan’s past home: The
Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort. An optional round of golf is scheduled for those wanting
to play the challenging but very scenic Nicklaus designed Mountain Course. Jordan will
help you choose the right sets of tees for maximum enjoyment and experience the unique
19th hole with one of the most amazing views you will see in all the world! For those not
wanting to play, feel free to enjoy the pool at the Athletic Club, tranquil Sante Spa or a hike
up Mount Finlayson. Dinner this evening will be at the resorts exclusive fine dining establishment,
Panache.
Thursday August 5, 2010
Bear Mountain is the only resort in Canada to have 36 holes of Nicklaus Design golf and
today we play the Valley Course. A slightly misleading name as there is plenty of elevation
change through out the round and it features numerous views of Highlands national parkland.
You will most likely be distracted by its rugged beauty and surreal view of Mount Baker on the first tee. After everyone has had time
to relax for a few hours and freshen up we will experience the Wine Cellar at Bear Mountain for an extraordinary wine tasting and dinner.
This is guaranteed to be a truly fantastic and memorable way to end the Victoria Experience!
Friday August 6, 2010
Transfers will be provided to the Victoria International Airport for those going home. For those wishing to stay longer feel free to ask
Jordan about the many amazing places to visit on Vancouver Island!
The view of Victoria from Bear Mountain has become an iconic view of this beautiful city
