“It is always great to receive recognition,” said Ward Stouffer, director of golf at Fairwinds Golf Club. “It is even more special when it comes from the people who enjoy our product.”

The winners were announced Sept. 2.
“These are people and facilities that make B.C. such a great place to live and visit,” said Stouffer.
Rounding out the top three Island courses were Victoria courses Bear Mountain in second and Highland Pacific in third.
