Olympic View Golf Club, Victoria, BC


I have a friend that worked at Olympic View Golf Club as a kid and said it was a great place to be. Now I see part of the reason the 17th hole is the signature hole at Olympic View and looks Great!

Hole 17 at Olympic View Golf Club
This hole is the most photographed hole on the course because of its Japanese garden and majestic 60-foot waterfall directly behind the green. A tee shot down the middle will put you in ideal position to go for the pin on your second shot. If you are going to miss, miss your shot to the right because a water hazard guards the left.

Dragon's Fire Golf Club, Carlisle, Ontario

Dragon's Fire Golf Club

Former co-owner of Royal Ontario Golf Club, Bryan DeCunha, has built a new course just outside of Burlington, Ontario Dragon's Fires Golf Club, set to open this May 2008. The course was designed by architect Bo Danoff, who also did the Niagara course Thundering Waters. I have some early pics from the course and in speaking with someone close to the project this is going to a championship golf course that will be very playable and affordable with 18 hole fees ranging from $55-$74.
Looks good so far, hopefully there are enough golfers to support it!
