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. A very flat and forgiving course

A par 3 nine hole course is great for beginners ... if you don't enjoy the pressure and frustration of a long regulation course this is the place for you.

The Masters Lounge offers the relaxed ambience you need to wind down after an extended meeting or a day outdoors. Sip a handcrafted signature cocktail or a pint of local craft beer with a light snack while you enjoy the view or the game. Enjoy the views of hole 18 and Mount Baker from the huge patio. In the winter, the Masters fireplace warms the room as live music provides the atmosphere. Summer nights on our expansive patio, complete with fire pits, is a buzz with storytelling from the day’s adventures.

If your'e a vegetarian (even if you're not) you have to try the vegan panini with figs and cashew butter. It's honestly one of the best paninis I've ever had. Other than that they have an awesome range of fresh salads, wraps, cold pressed juices and desserts. If you are in downtown Victoria you've gotta hit up Jusu.

Go for the reflexology and ask for Saki. She's the best. Full body massages leave a lot to be desired but the reflexology is excellent. Head here after a long day exploring downtown Victoria.

Trails and Nature

The must sees for nature lovers.
An hour and forty-five minutes west of Victoria, Sombrio Beach is situated along the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail and located in the Juan de Fuca Provincial Park. In the summer it is a popular spot to camp and throughout autumn, winter and spring, the beach is popular with surfers. Turn left once you hit the beach and walk for a good 20 mins to reach the secret Sombrio Waterfall. Best tip is to ask people along the way where it is because it is hard to describe the location hence the secret. Plenty of good waves around during the cooler months and a great spot for beach camping.

A great spot for the kids to play at the playground near the lake with picnic tables and a small sandy beach. Plenty of birds around too. Follow the boardwalk to reach the trail that goes around the lake which has a few nice stops along the trail to swim or enjoy the scenery.

Park in the freeman king visitor centre parking lot and head through the tunnel that goes undeer the road. The dried up river bed will lead the the beautiful waterfall. For the trestle follow the tunnel under the road from the parking lot and turn right just after exiting the tunnell and head up the unmarked trail which winds it's way towards the top of the waterfall. When you get to a junction turn right and keep following along to the trestle. Theres no safety railing or many marked trails so be careful and don't take the kids on this one. **DIFFICULT TRAIL***

Sports and Kids stuff

Fun for the family or sports fans
Westhills stadium is the home of BC'S soccer team Pacific FC. If you're looking for something to fill in an afternoon on a weekend I'd suggest grabbing some tickets for a game. It's a decent standard and the stadium is great for families looking for something to entertain the kids with. There is also Rugby played here throughout the year
