Royal Colwood Golf Club was founded in 1913 and designed by architect Vernon Macan who's famous around the Pacific Northwest for designing some truly amazing golf courses. The course received its Royal designation in 1931 after King George played. The trees around Colwood are over 100 years old and the trees are a factor on the majority of holes. If you have played or seen or played Sahalee, Royal Colwood is very similar in design. Colwood consistently ranks in the top 100 of Canada because of its history and amazing layout. Victoria in general is blessed with some very fine layouts that date back to the golden age of golf. I have played Colwood several times but always find the greens to be the biggest challenge.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list.
