Crown Isle Resort & Golf Community

There aren’t many places on the golfing globe like Crown Isle Golf Resort in Courtenay. Tucked under the shadows of the massive Comox Glacier and the beautiful Beaufort Mountains, the resort is located just five minutes away from an international airport and forty minutes from the Island’s top skiing destination.

The clubhouse is equally dazzling. The 48,000-square-foot West Coast creation includes a pro shop, pub, steak house, banquet rooms, a classic car museum, and a cigar and cognac room. The adjacent Villas at Crown Isle, which have been awarded 4½ stars stars by Tourism B.C., are the most luxurious on the Island.

The golf course matches the quality of the rest of the resort and stretches 5,200 yards from the forward tees to over 7,000 yards from the championship tees. While Crown Isle is mostly a forgiving resort-style course with wide, rolling fairways and subtle undulating greens, don’t be lulled into a false sense of security. For instance, the fourth hole is a testy, 163-yard, par three over water. Hit it to the middle of the green and you’ll be fine, but take on the sucker pin placement tucked near the front edge of the green, and your ball could easily catch the false side and end up at the bottom of the pond.

The fifth, a 502-yard, par five, is another hole to play smart. Water runs down the right side and the out-of-bound stakes guard the left edge of the hole. To make it even more interesting, the fairway gently rolls like an ocean swell so there are frequent challenges. Crown Isle ends with its signature eighteenth, a 423-yard monster with bunkers both off the tee and guarding the front of an elevated green. Crown Isle is the BC golf course that is on everyones must-play-again list.
