Reconfigured Qualicum Beach golf course to open in spring of 2027<\/p>\n
Published 10:00 am Monday, June 22, 2026<\/p>\n
The Eaglecrest Golf Course reconfiguration is well underway and is expected to reopen to the public in spring 2027.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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,\u201d said Mayor Teunis Westbroek.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe reconfiguration will improve safety, playability, and long-term operational sustainability, while preserving the character and quality of the course.\u201d<\/p>\n
The reconfiguration work includes reshaping existing fairways, creating new greens, expanding the pond, upgrading the irrigation infrastructure and more.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Reconfiguration of the course is now anticipated to be completed in early August.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
