We are on a golf holiday from Vancouver and have recently played several golf courses in the area . This one exceeded expectations in every way. We were greeted in the parking lot by a friendly employee (wearing a mask) who welcomed us and explained the changes (a couple of examples...they don’t touch your clubs and no rakes in traps) due to COVID 19. Thank you on both counts! Staff in the pro shop and restaurant all wore masks, tables were set up for social distancing and the bathrooms were spotless. All of the ( at least a dozen) employees we encountered were happy, helpful and efficient and contributed to our great experience there. All was not perfect. Sometimes problems occur. It’s not the unforeseen problems but often the resolution that determines ones satisfaction . Our cart had some issues. Director Peter Smith was most apologetic and resolved the problem in a way that was very satisfactory to us. Thank you Peter. The course is in spectacular shape. The fairways and greens are immaculate. The course is a very interesting one. There is lots of variety and spectacular views. There is also a short course here so beginning golfers will feel successful. We finished the day with a fabulous meal on the deck overlooking the 18th hole. Kudos to the chef for an interesting menu and fabulous food. How good was our experience? So good, we played the course again the next day! Check out their 20 th Anniversary specials!

Course was in great shape, greens well kept, views amazing. However, the staff made the experience memorable, as all were more than helpful and made us feel welcome. Would come again just because of them.

Westside legacy trail

Reviewed By DOWNTIMEDON - Edmonton, Canada

We went biking on the trail this summer and approximately 10 of the 25 km was finished and paved. Let me tell you this was awesome. Spectacular views and a wonderful ride. I am so pumped to try this when the full trail is finished to Fairmont. Be aware that this trail is not like the Cranbrook to Kimberly Rails to Trails path which was made on an old train line with gradual slope. The Westside Legacy Trail has quite significant hill climbs and of course the fun descents. I would say you would need at least an average level of biking fitness to make this enjoyable. ***Also a Warning*** some of the hills have sharp switchback corners with significant drop offs on the side of the path. If you are an in-experienced rider or going with young kids, be aware of this because I do foresee people going too fast downhill and unable to navigate some of the corners.
