About this course

Long Beach Golf Course, perched dramatically along the Pacific Rim Highway near Tofino, is where the untamed beauty of Vancouver Island collides with a game steeped in tradition. Its claim to fame is as the only golf course located directly on a surf beach in Canada. Built in the mid-20th century, Long Beach presents a uniquely rugged golfing experience. The nine-hole layout meanders through windswept coastal terrain, where the salty air and crashing waves serve as constant reminders of nature's power. While not overly long, the course favors creativity and adaptability, as prevailing winds and undulating fairways challenge golfers to embrace the unpredictable conditions. While Long Beach hasn't hosted major championships, its laid-back atmosphere and stunning setting have cultivated a fiercely loyal following of locals and tourists. This is a place where the focus is on enjoying the game in its purest form, surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the Pacific Northwest. Beyond the course, Long Beach is known for its tight-knit community and unpretentious charm. The clubhouse, modest but welcoming, is a gathering place where stories are shared, and friendships are forged. It's a testament to the fact that sometimes the most memorable golfing experiences aren't found on manicured fairways, but in the heart of a truly special place.

Getting there

The journey to Long Beach Golf Course begins at Vancouver International Airport, followed by a spectacular three-and-a-half-hour drive northwest across Vancouver Island - a passage that transforms from highway efficiency to coastal drama as you approach the island's wild Pacific edge. Most travelers ferry from the mainland to Nanaimo or fly directly into Vancouver Island's hub before striking west on Highway 4, a winding ribbon that climbs through old-growth cathedral forests and descends into the mist-draped realm of the Pacific Rim. The final stretch into Ucluelet trades the dense rainforest canopy for glimpses of storm-tossed coastline, delivering you to a course perched at the very threshold of the open ocean - where the fairways end and the wilderness begins.
