Like
your favorite pair of slippers, Cedar Hill Golf Club feels 'right' the
first time you play it. Don't let the short yardage fool you. Play a bit
too complacently and this course will come back to bite you. The course
is one of the best -kept public courses you will find anywhere. The greens
are especially true and fair. The golf course also serves as a community
meeting place. A large walking 'chip trail' circles the course with walkers
taking full advantage of the surrounding beauty.
Originally
a dairy farm purchased by the municipality of Saanich in 1920 it was turned
into the first fully public nine hole golf course on Vancouver Island.
It later was expanded to the full 18 holes in the 1950's. Cedar Hill is
one of the busiest golf courses in Canada with close to 100,000 rounds
played every year. Only the odd west coast snowstorm deters the ardent
Cedar Hill player.
A grand new clubhouse has been constructed in 1997 that offers a wide
range of services. The 90-seat restaurant offers a delicious array of
food and beverage overlooking the course and distant Olympic Mountains.
The clubhouse can offer fully catered services to up to 140 people (smaller,
fully private rooms are also available).
The
fully stocked pro shop offers product lines: Titliest, Ping, Foot Joy,
Wilson, Aureus, LaMode and A.P. Player.
