Mount Douglas Golf Course

Great value for your buck !!
GREAT!! Warm up course..

Mt. Doug Golf Course has been a staple on the Victoria golfing scene for the past 50 years for a reason - quality course, great management, and focus on customer experience. As a frequent user, I haven't seen this change even during the challenges COVID has brought to small business owners. The course management is responsible for ensuring the safety of staff and clients and have done so admirably, even trying to accommodate those few people who buy into anti-vacs/anti-mask thinking. Everyone has the right to their opinion, but no one has the right to book a tee time and then show up to berate and belittle staff because they think they can. Its good to hear people who act like this are banned because it ruins the experience for everyone around them. This course is a great place to relax and spend a few hours chasing par without having to watch the antics of the poorly behaved.

Just wanted to state publicly that the staff at the Mt. Douglas Golf Course are not tyrannical nor rude. They have systems in place to ensure the safety of all staff, some of which are not fully vaccinated. Those patrons who chose not to abide by the rules (which continue to exist at many stores/establishments) need not visit the course. I have always enjoyed a pleasant round of golf at Mt. Doug. It is a clean and inviting course. Well maintained with rules in place for a reason when checking in and using the interior washrooms or shopping for golfing items. Attitudes need to be checked at the door and understand that most people don't support anti masking rhetoric. A little understanding goes a long way.

I have been playing at Mt Doug regularly since 1990, twice a week. The course just keeps improving with each season - the staff doesn’t need to. The course is in great shape and you couldn’t ask for nicer staff, especially for the past 3 or 4 years - they bend over backwards to accommodate. I haven’t witnessed staff being unkind to anyone but suspect if someone got surly or lippy with them, they would be within their rights to take appropriate action as it is a private course. From my experience, the staff and owners are appreciative of their golf patrons.

I especially like that the website is kept updated so you know what the ground rules and conditions are before you get there. There is nothing demanded of clients that isn’t noted on the website which applies to all players so there are no surprises.

The prices haven’t gone up for a few years so with the course improvements undertaken and the loss of business due to the pandemic, the increase is not out of line. I was concerned that the course may not survive the pandemic so am relieved and happy to pay a little more to keep a local business alive and well.

Golfing at Mt Doug with my good friends is a favourite activity which I hope to do for many more years.

Such a great little golf course! Good fun for all levels.
