Uplands Course
Uplands Golf Club, a cherished fixture of Victoria's Cadboro Bay, whispers of tradition from its very first tee. Built during the early expansion of golf course design, the parkland layout traverses gently rolling terrain, a welcome contrast to the rugged coastline nearby. The course favors those who can maneuver the ball, with tight, tree-lined fairways rewarding strategic play over sheer distance. Originally designed by A.V. Macan, known for his work on other notable West Coast courses, Uplands provides a classic golfing experience. While the course hasn't hosted major professional championships, its enduring appeal lies in its commitment to a traditional game, offering challenges and rewards for players of all skill levels. Uplands is a private club where old-school charm and strong bonds still take precedence. Its membership reflects the character of the city itself: understated, community-minded, and deeply appreciative of the surrounding natural beauty. Post-round gatherings on the patio, overlooking the course and distant ocean views, are as integral to the Uplands experience as the golf itself.
The journey to Uplands Golf Course begins at Victoria International Airport (YYJ), a graceful arrival point just twenty minutes north of the club by car, or alternatively via Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA) followed by a scenic ferry crossing through the Salish Sea. From the airport, the drive winds through Victoria's leafy suburban corridors before arriving at the club's Oak Bay location, where the Pacific Ocean's salt-tinged air and the sight of distant mountains signal entry into one of Canada's most coveted golfing sanctuaries. For those arriving by private aviation, Victoria's waterfront seaplane terminals offer a particularly elegant approach, delivering guests directly to the heart of the region. The final approach to Uplands unfolds along quiet, tree-lined streets that open onto a course where ocean vistas and the timeless architecture of early twentieth-century design await.

Uplands is a fine course. If the conditions weren’t absolutely pure, this course would be a C-tier. But those conditions are *pure*. The truest greens in the city & near perfect tee boxes and fairways on the entire property. The course lacks definition in its holes, where lots of them just sort of blend together and there aren’t really any memorable ones. Also lots of overgrowth of some old oaks on the property which block out some shots from the fairway. Can’t overstate enough how good the greens are.
