Part of a master-planned, oceanfront community on Vancouver Island, the award-
winning Fairwinds Golf Club is all about the social aspect of the game and is ideal for
year-round play because of the region's mild climate. Its Furber design and pristine
surroundings complement the many amenities and natural attributes of the area. Hole
2 ably captures the ambience of the 6,200-yard, par-71 course.
Standing on the elevated tee with spectacular vistas of the Coast Mountain Range on
the mainland and ocean waters of Juan de Fuca Straight, the downhill par 3 is a joy
to behold. Established stands of trees lining the fairways play with light and shadow,
adding to the challenge of gauging distance and placing your shot.
The ideal shot ends at a green protected on the right and the back by a water hazard
that wraps around two-thirds of its circumference yet is practically invisible from the
tee. Short is definitely better than long in this case. The front left bunker guards a
portion of the green that cannot be seen from the tee. With wind that seems to be
ever-present, this memorable hole will have you coming back for the challenge time
and again.
