Bear Mountain Valley Course - Beyond Scenic


Almost every hole on the new 18 hole valley course at bear mountain could be called a signature hole. The holes are beautiful with a dash of trouble on almost every hole. There are a few sand traps that could sub in for the beach at Thetis Lake Park. There are a few water hazards that keep you honest. The greens were probably designed by Leonardo da Vinci, beautiful but full of intrigue. All in all, it is a very impressive golf course. With the different tee choices, there are lengths for every level of golfer. The women's tees are well planned to give females a competitive position against long hitting male partners. Everything at Bear Mountain is done with class. The on-board GPS really helps when you are playing the course for the first time. It helps with the distance guess work. Thanks to all the staff who helped put on today's event, especially my personal guide Rick. He was so helpful, especially with the advice about the arbutus tree. If you are looking for some great golf on world class golf courses, Bear Mountain has two of them. Check it out. Have a look at the monster trap (above) on one of the par 3 holes.
