Saratoga Beach Golf Club

Saratoga Beach Golf Club is a nine-hole, par-33 course of about 2,316 yards tucked into second-growth forest a few blocks from the beach it is named after, midway between Courtenay and Campbell River. The layout mixes short par 3s with a handful of tree-lined par 4s and finishes on a par 5 that plays past a pond beside the clubhouse. It is a walkable, quick round — most groups are round in under two hours — and it suits beginners and families as much as low handicaps. A full-length driving range and practice putting green sit alongside the first tee.
