Qualicum Beach Memorial Golf Course is at 469 Memorial Avenue, roughly two blocks from the village shops, so the trip from downtown is very short. Many golfers simply drive, and a taxi is easy to arrange for the return if you have clubs.
From the village to Memorial Avenue
The course sits right beside the village centre, in town. Put 469 Memorial Avenue into a maps app and follow the prompts. There is no need to take the highway north. Anyone staying in the village can often cover the distance on foot, though a golf bag makes that less appealing.
The course is a public one, opened in 1913, and it is among the oldest in British Columbia. It has a pro shop, a driving range, club and cart rentals, and a restaurant. Call 250 752 6312 for tee times, current hours and the parking situation, since the course does not publish every detail online.
Local buses in Qualicum Beach
BC Transit runs two local loops in Qualicum Beach, route 97 through the eastern part of town and route 98 through the western part, Monday to Saturday. Neither is guaranteed to stop near the course, and times shift with the season. Check the BC Transit Nanaimo trip planner with the Memorial Avenue address before you rely on a bus, and look at the last trip back.
Arriving from Vancouver
From the mainland, the trip involves a BC Ferries crossing to Vancouver Island, then a drive north on Highway 19 toward Parksville and Qualicum Beach. The BC Ferries sailing schedule shows the crossing times, and these set the pace of the whole day more than the road does. Check the schedule and current road conditions on DriveBC before you leave, and allow a good margin if you have a tee time.
Taxi after the round
A taxi makes sense with a set of clubs, or if the round ends with a drink at the clubhouse. The taxi fare estimator gives a rough fare for a short ride, and the Parksville taxi page lists companies that serve the area. Book ahead for early tee times.
