Golf
You exchange your sturdy hiking boots, diving fins or snow shoes for elegant golf shoes. Calmness and relaxation have finally got the better of you and your concentration needs to be put to the test. What could serve this purpose better than the deliberate movements of the body while playing golf and is required from fans and interested beginners alike? Local golf courses with deep green islands of lawn protected by the vast rain forest provide for the necessary quietness and seclusion. Every now and then, the bears and deer love this cultivated quietness - the bears enjoy warming their furs with relish on these sunny islands while the deer munch on the grass. On a coastal strip of about 70 km you can call three beautifully located golf links your terrain (courts with 9 and 18 holes of 5.6 - 6 km each - Par 71-72). From your teeing ground the Pacific stretches of to the west while the Coast Mountains rise majestically to the east - with or without snow caps depending on the season. No matter whether you have a high or low handicap - this is the ideal terrain for you to train or improve your skills or just for the pleasure of playing enjoy the drive up to the putt with friends. Precisely aimed your topped ball flies - without becoming a 'snake killer' - towards the hole. Will the next stroke be enough for a par or will it even be less? From the first tee until the last green you will enjoy the challenges of the course with fascination running smoothly from one to another. Each round has a very individual character - over hills with sand and green bunkers, passing small lakes and creeks embedded into the typical forest landscape - and always accompanied by breath-taking views over the mountains co-existing with the inlet waters of the Strait of Georgia. Playing golf on the Sunshine Coast is a well-guarded secret which we offer you with pride and joy for discovery - weather or not you will tell your friends is up to you. Whatever you prefer, stroke play or match play - after an ambitious last putt refreshments will be awaiting you at the 19th hole...it's tea time now!
