Golf Courses in Duncan
Known as the "City of Totems," Duncan is the commercial hub of the Cowichan Valley and home to one of the world's largest outdoor collections of publicly displayed totem poles hand-carved by Quw'utsun' artists. The surrounding valley enjoys one of Canada's mildest climates, supporting year-round golf at Cowichan and Duncan Meadows alongside a thriving farm-to-table food and wine scene.
Cowichan Golf Club
Cowichan Golf Club's front nine was laid out in 1947 by legendary Pacific Northwest architect A. V. Macan, with the back nine added in 1985 to a design by club member Ken Worthington. The combined 18-hole, par-70 course plays approximately 6,189 yards across gently rolling, walkable terrain with views toward the Cowichan Valley mountains and Cowichan Bay. Fast, undulating greens and mature tree-lined corridors make it one of Vancouver Island's most historic and enjoyable tests.
Duncan Meadows Golf Course
Duncan Meadows is an 18-hole, par-72 championship layout designed by Les Furber, set in the shadow of Mount Prevost on the north side of the Cowichan Valley. The routing blends parkland and links styles, with wild-grass roughs, multiple lakes and ponds, and Scottish-style creeks crossed by rock bridges woven through fir and maple forest. The course is well respected enough to have hosted the 2018 Canadian Men's Amateur Championship and helped develop tour professionals including Paula Creamer and Chris Baryla.
