Royal Colwood Golf Club [4K] RCGC
Royal Colwood Golf Club is a private golf club located in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Designed by Arthur Vernon Macan in 1913, Royal Colwood is a traditional style parklands championship course set amongst 450 year old douglas firs and majestic garry oaks. One of a select few in the world, Royal Colwood received its Royal designation from King George V in 1931.
The membership of Royal Colwood comes from all walks of life, united by their common love for the grand old game of golf. Our members range in age from approximately 8 years of age to those approaching 100 years of age, yet all enjoy playing a golf course which has consistently been rated as one of Canada's finest.
Over the years, Royal Colwood has been privileged to play host to royalty, celebrities, sports stars, and the general golfing public. All have enjoyed the experience.
The banquet facilities at Royal Colwood are able to accommodate small or large groups in an intimate natural environment. Our management will be happy to assist you in making your special function fit for royalty.
The members of Royal Colwood invite you to visit our website, and to learn more about our fine club. However, if you have a chance, the best way to experience Royal Colwood is to bring your clubs and play A.V. Macan's masterpiece.

Winter Golf at The Victoria Golf Club
On Christmas Day, the Victoria Golf Club closes to members and lets other golfers enjoy a free round. There isn't much golf in Canada's winter but at the VGC sun shines on the spectacular sea side course. A tour was flown with a Mavic Pro in 4K video showing the layout of the course.
First Hole - Royal Colwood Golf Club [4K] 1st RCGC
The opening hole at Royal Colwood usually only plays as a drive to a generous fairway and a mid to short iron in to the green. However, it is often made more difficult by the prevailing wind which generally blows into the player from left to right, bringing the large Garry Oak on the right-hand side into play for the second shot. The green is sloped heavily from the back right to front left; making an approach shot that is short and left of the flag the ideal.

Junior Vikes Golf Tour
The Vikes Golf Junior Tour is a not-for-profit group committed to helping youth, regardless of economic or social background, reach their potential through the game of golf.
Since 2008 in partnership with the University of Victoria Department of Athletics and Men's and Women's Golf teams, we have hosted junior golf tournaments throughout the Victoria area. While the tournaments have a competitive aspect, competition is by no means our main focus. We are committed to mentoring these youngsters in proper golf etiquette, respect for the traditions of the game, sportsmanship, and most of all citizenship.
The Tour is run by Jim Goddard, Cordova Bay's Director of Golf along with Bob Russell and Kevin Carrigan - all former junior golfers who want to provide young Victorians with the same opportunity to experience this great game that they were fortunate enough to play growing up. The University of Victoria's Department of Athletics sponsors the Vikes Award - an annual award to that individual who best exemplifies the values we try to teach.
Members of both the Men's and Women's golf, many of whom are former Vikes Tour members provide volunteer support to the tournaments, particularly the Little Vikes program.
Golfing Opportunities
1. Up to 15 tournaments will be held each year at area courses where established junior golfers will be supervised by volunteers who will provide them with support and instruction in regards to at least the following:
How to move around a golf course as quickly as possible while still enjoying the game.
On course etiquette.
On course golf game management.
The Rules of the Game.
2. Little Vikes is a special series of golfing opportunities for youngsters who are new to the game. Before entering they only need to demonstrate an enthusiasm for the game. The purpose of Little Vikes is not to teach them how to hit a golf ball but how to play golf. New golfers will be provided with entry level participation (maybe just 9 holes or less to begin) where they will be instructed on the basics of being a golfer:
How to keep score
Order of play
Pace of play
Etiquette
Only the basic rules
Participants will be graduated from Little Vikes to join the tournaments for established players when they are deemed ready.

An iconic canadian architectural monument perched upon a sprawling 67-acre oceanfront parcel at the southern end of Vancouver Island, minutes from British Columbia’s capital, Victoria. Punctuated by grand contemporary lines, the triumphant main residence is, according to it’s award-winning designer, Marko Simcic, “sustainably entwined” with its site in the heart of one of Canada’s most endangered natural ecosystems—the Garry Oak savannah.
Winner of the Canadian Architect Award in 2003 and a Lieutenant-Governor’s Award in 2008,
the 10,700 square foot main residence is cantilevered atop a concrete armature, rooting the structure clear of the critical tree root zones. With floors branching astride a canyon carrying spent hydro-thermal seawater framed by etched glass exterior walls, this innovative retreat blurs the boundaries of nature and shelter.
A sharp structural fold encloses an exterior pool and hot tub area which separates the social and private living spaces. Dynamically lit by strategically placed exterior and foot windows, reflections from the ocean and canyon river dance across hardwood floors and travertine walls. Panoramic views of 1,400 linear feet of shoreline and private beach are amplified by spectacular ocean views backed by the rugged Olympic Mountain range, while a fully automated boat launch and worldwide access to mechanical and electrical controls allow residents to remain connected while escaping to the sea with ease. Also Included on the gated property is a caretakers residence, garage with hydraulic lift, and tennis/basketball court.
Metchosin is a semi-rural community of rolling countryside laced with winding rural roads traversing cultivated acreages, rocky highlands, and forests along the shores of the Juan de Fuca Strait. This area is home to many migratory birds and teems with land and sea life. Nearby parks include Albert Head Lagoon, Witty’s Lagoon, Devonian Regional park, Matheson Lake Regional Park, Roche Cove Regional Park, and East Sooke Park. By imposing a minimum one and two acre lot size bylaw, urban style development has been limited by the local government in order to preserve the area’s pastoral character.
Nearby activities include golf at the Metchosin Golf Course, the Olympic View Golf Club, or one of 8 championship golf courses scattered about Victoria’s Capital Regional District, as well as equestrian facilities at one of a number of Metchosin clubs, or rides along the famous Galloping Goose Trail. This 100 kilometer multi-use trail links the Westshore communities of Sooke, Metchosin, Colwood, Langford, and View Royal to Victoria proper, offering cyclists, joggers, hikers, and riders a route through the the countryside to the city.
Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, the Strait of Georgia and the Inside Passage, Vancouver Island is one of Canada’s finest island getaways. With its vast wilderness, picturesque peaks, temperate climate and fertile soil, this stunning locale is a paradise for those seeking serenity, natural beauty, and enchanting coastal communities.
Unlike much of Canada, Vancouver Island's weather is mild year-round. Spring comes early, with cherry blossom, tulip, and daffodil blooms lit by sparkling ocean sunsets. Summer is close behind, with the first sightings of migrating whales and local fishermen. In fall, a plethora of farms, vineyards, orchards, cideries, and breweries take local culinary culture to world-class levels. Come winter, cars loaded with kayaks, surfboards, paddle boards, skis, and snowboards come out to play, while golfers teeing off, and joggers taking to the trails remain common sights.
