Great golf course and Mike at the restaurant does a great job. If you are looking to bring your team for a dinner out this has lots of meeting room space and fantastic views of Satellite Channel. The course is great value and challenging but fair.

This has to be one of te best buffets on the planet...everything and everything good. Seafood, beef, pork, chicken, fruit, blah blah blah....*slurp*. This has it all and more. Everything is well maintained and looking fresh and easy on the eyes. Well worth the money and they will not let you leave hungry. Menu items are just as good and... More

We have been at the Thursday roast beef dinner night several times. It has not always been consistant but the last 2 times have been nothing short of terrific. We ordered medium rare and it came exactly as ordered. We hope this is a norm from now on.

Course has a great variety of holes, some elevation change, some unique holes. A little on the short side, but makes up for it with degree of difficulty. Tougher than its rating. Think before you take out the big stick.

A few challenging holes. Tough start with penalties for straying off line. A very good inexpensive Men's night with lots of prizes! Average for food. Great club-house location. Some of the houses intrude towards the fairways in places unless you stay in the middle. Hilly if pulling a cart.

The total package here is well worth the drive from Victoria, just around 45 minutes from the ferry or 35 minutes from downtown it is well worth the drive to enjoy this hidden gem out in the Cowichan Valley. If you like Bear Mountain or Olympic View you will find this gold course one of the more pleasant and user... More

Whether you are heading up island or down, Arbutus is a golf course to stop at and enjoy. The course is in good shape, not as difficult as Bear Mountain/Olympicview/Highlands from a walking perspective and every bit as lovely. The restaurant is SUPERB ... if you don't golf come here just to eat, drink and be merry!

We were there on a beautiful Monday evening, so the dining room wasn't busy. We were a table of 4 and everyone's meal was great. My steak was cooked too perfection. I would have rated this experience as excellent except our waitress spilled the wine on the table and didn't apologize or hurry to clean it up. Also, she didn't... More
