Located north of the city of Victoria, the Bear course at Bear Mountain sits at the base of Mount Finlayson before climbing up and back down. At the par 3, 14th, for example, panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, downtown Victoria, and the surrounding mountain ranges leading into the state of Washington exist. An island green, risk-reward par 5’s and a couple short par 4’s are all in store for those who visit here.
