About Cobble Hill & The Club:
The golf course was built in 1987 and began as a 12 month a year retirement option for those that love Golf and Tennis. From the moment you get out of your car, you see island living at its finest. With beautiful views of the Gulf Islands and Mount Baker.
Cobble Hill is only 45km from downtown Victoria and 17km to Duncan and is in the southern part of the scenic Cowichan Valley. With the neighboring communities of Shawnigan Lake, Mill Bay & Cowichan Bay which together contain a population of approximately 15,000 full-time residents (Cowichan Valley population is approx. 95,000). This creates a perfect environment for someone who appreciates nature, a slower pace of life, time at the lake, trails, ocean and of course golf.
The 18-hole golf course was recently purchased by Island raised businessman Andrew Golin. The golf club has 3 covered tennis courts and a full-service Clubhouse which has large banquet areas for weddings, banquets and other community events.
