Arbutus Ridge Golf Club in Cobblehill, Canada: A Unique Golf Course
Golfing and Food at It's Finest at the Arbutus Ridge Golf Club
By Brandon L Ferguson
One thing that you won't expect when you first step onto Arbutus Ridge Golf Club, is a horse or a deer eating grass right on the green, especially because this is a community course. With the indoor tennis courts, sharing the golf course's parking lot, and the many people that are around, it would be kind of surprising to see the many deer that will appear on the Arbutus Ridge Golf Club.
Many things aren't what you'd expect coming from regular golf club. Arbutus Ridge has a restaurant that will serve you king crab claws and more at an affordable price that will get you wondering if you're even at a golf club. This kind of dining will get you too tired for golf. Plus, they have what is called an unofficial balcony hole that people can shoot off of as tradition.
Arbutus Ridge is a place where one can enjoy a number of things. Whether they are there just to have fun, hang out, grab a meal, go golfing, or just shoot the breeze, this is a place unlike any other course you've been to. The restaurant actually serves more non-golfers than golfers. It has been claimed to be the best restaurant in the town.
Arbutus Ridge is like a small town on Vancouver Island that is only 40 minutes from Victoria. It is a perfect stop for one who is out for a fish among other things. With what Arbutus Ridge Golf Club has to offer, it's surprising to find that it is not overrun by too many tourists. That is hoped to be changed soon.
The layout of the land isn't to bad, and you'll find most holes to be fairly simple, all but the last little bit. Par-3, 17th hole has water on three sides of the green with a lot of deer roaming around. Par-4, 18th hole, is 426 yards and one has to shoot straight uphill, hoping to get a decent second shot to the green that is well-guarded.
Like stated, Arbutus Ridge Golf Club is a place that you will thoroughly enjoy. Just be sure to not make any dinner bets on parring the No. 18 hole. You might end up losing the bet. That is common for many new comers to Arbutus Ridge who don't know about the 18th hole. If your 18th hole is bad, just sit back and laugh and enjoy the food.
