Myrtle Point Golf Club

Myrtle Point Golf Club sits on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia near Powell River, a community accessible primarily by ferry and positioned along the Strait of Georgia. The course was designed by Canadian architect Les Furber, who has built numerous layouts across western Canada since the 1980s. The routing takes advantage of the coastal terrain, with elevation changes and views across the water toward Vancouver Island. The property features a mix of forested corridors and more open areas where the landscape opens to the surrounding natural setting. Furber's design here reflects his approach to working with natural topography rather than extensive earthmoving. The layout moves through Douglas fir and cedar forest on several holes, while others play along ridgelines or through clearings that reveal the coastal character of the region. The course serves both local members and visiting golfers who travel to the Powell River area, which remains relatively remote compared to the more developed golf regions around Vancouver and Victoria. The club functions as a community amenity in an area where outdoor recreation centers on the surrounding wilderness and marine environment. Myrtle Point provides a golf experience shaped by its geography—the combination of forest, elevation, and proximity to the coast creates a setting distinct from the parkland courses found in British Columbia's urban centers. The course remains a regional facility rather than a destination layout, serving golfers in the northern Sunshine Coast area.
