Reconfigured Qualicum Beach golf course to open in spring of 2027
Published 10:00 am Monday, June 22, 2026
The Eaglecrest Golf Course reconfiguration is well underway and is expected to reopen to the public in spring 2027.
“The updated golf course will operate as a par-35, creating a regulation 9-hole course that will allow golfers to maintain official handicaps and participate in organized competitions,” said Mayor Teunis Westbroek.
“The reconfiguration will improve safety, playability, and long-term operational sustainability, while preserving the character and quality of the course.”
The reconfiguration work includes reshaping existing fairways, creating new greens, expanding the pond, upgrading the irrigation infrastructure and more.
The layout was informed by input from course users and professional golf course designers. Construction is being undertaken by a Vancouver Island company, Grass Roots Enterprises.
Reconfiguration of the course is now anticipated to be completed in early August.
However, the new turfgrass requires sufficient time to mature through the fall and early spring to reduce the risk of damage, improve long-term course conditions, and avoid costly repairs, future closures and turfgrass degradation.
The town looks forward to welcoming golfers in spring 2027 when the course is expected to be in optimal condition for the start of the next golfing season.
