🌅 Not a Bad Way to End the Day

Some evenings at Nanaimo Golf Club make you stop for a second and just take it all in. What a spectacular sunset over the course!

A beautiful reminder that some of the best views happen after the last putts of the day. ⛳

📸 Great capture by Kelsey from our F&B Team!

Ever Wonder How the Pin Gets Moved? ⛳

It’s one of those jobs that happens regularly on the course, but most golfers never get to see how it’s done.

Come along with our Turf Team for a behind-the-scenes look at the process of moving the pin — from cutting the new hole and carefully removing the plug to replacing the old hole and leaving the green ready for play.

It takes precision, a good eye and a little practice to get it just right.

Apparently, it also takes soccer skills. ⚽😂

Be sure to watch until the end for Ben from our Turf Team showing off some unexpected footwork!

⛳ Behind the Scenes: Bunker Perfection

Ever wonder what goes into preparing our bunkers before your round?

Every bunker is carefully raked, edges are cleaned, and the sand is checked for consistency to provide the best possible playing conditions. It's one of the many details our Turf Team focuses on each day to ensure every bunker is fair, consistent, and ready for play.

The next time you find yourself in the sand, take a moment to appreciate the work that goes into making it look this good… then remember to give it a quick rake for the next golfer. 😉
