Cordova Bay Golf Course sits on the Saanich Peninsula north of Victoria, occupying elevated terrain that overlooks the Strait of Georgia and the Gulf Islands. Designed by Bill Robinson and opened in 1991, the course takes advantage of its coastal setting while working through varied topography that includes forested sections, open meadowland, and exposed ridgelines. The routing moves across rolling ground with elevation changes that provide views of the water and surrounding landscape, though the course itself does not play directly along the shoreline. Robinson's design incorporates the natural contours of the property, with holes that climb and descend through the terrain. The layout features a mix of tree-lined corridors and more open holes where wind from the strait can influence play. Several holes on the higher portions of the property offer sightlines to the San Juan Islands and Mount Baker in the distance. The course measures over 6,000 yards from the back tees and presents a variety of approach shot demands shaped by the land's movement. Cordova Bay operates as a semi-private facility that welcomes public play, making it accessible to visitors exploring the Victoria area. The course serves both local members and traveling golfers seeking a round in the region. Its location on the peninsula places it within a cluster of Vancouver Island courses that benefit from the area's temperate climate and scenic coastal character.
