Golf is popular in the Comox Valley with many courses to test your skills but if you want to try a fine little course that allows you to still play 9 holes for just $18 or less then check out Mulligans Golf Course. We recently played on Friday, June 7 and were impressed by the great shape the course was in. Our round took abit over 90 minutes to play and we never had to wait at a tee off which we appreciated.

Mulligan’s offers an executive course which means there are mostly par 3’s with some par 4’s and the longest hole is 337 yards. Total length from the blue tees is 1763 yards which is about a mile so it is also easy to walk for many people from younger children to older adults. But just because it is short doesn’t mean it is easy. There is water on 7 of the 9 holes and there are many strategically placed sand traps, so depending on where the pin is placed, making par can be a real challenge. The course also gives scenic views of the Beaufort Range of Mountains and has been landscaped to create undulations and mounds which add to the layout of the course.

The greens were in great shape
In addition to a small clubhouse with an outdoor patio, there is a driving range, a putting green and a sand trap practice area which is a nice bonus. The driving range is another bargain since a bucket of balls is just $3.75 ! One of the staff told us that weekday mornings are quite busy but it opens up in the afternoon and early evening. Mulligans is located right outside of Courtenay and for more information see: http://mulligansgolfcourse.com/ or phone 250-338-2440. This course is ideal for families or friends wanting to meet for a couple of hours of relaxed, enjoyable golf. See you on the course.
