New Chrono tee time booking procedure to come online May 1, 2022
New Booking Rules:
- Book your 7-day advance tee time starting at 8 pm. Green fee players have a six-day advance starting at 7 am the following morning.
- Once you confirm your booking, you have 24 hours, until 8 pm the following evening to populate the tee sheet and convert your “guests” into real people. If you have non-member guests, they can only be added during the green fee window from 7 am to 8 pm the following day by calling the Pro Shop at 250-246-9322.
- Failure to follow this protocol will result in your “guests” being deleted and you will be notified of the deletion by email.
The tee slot will appear “empty” and available for booking by members and green fee players.
Cancellations and No-shows:
- Club rules dictate that any booked green fee player who cannot play must cancel a tee time within24 hours of the tee time. If not, they will incur a fee equal to the applicable rate. This is standard practice at all golf courses. The same applies to no-shows.
- The 24-hour cancellation rule does not apply to members; however, we ask you to cancel as soon as you decide not to play so the slot is open to others who wish to play.
- The pro shop will monitor members who are consistent no-shows, and a Board issued warning will be issued. Failure to heed this warning, abuse of the privilege of membership and disrespect for your fellow golfers, may result in a suspension of booking and playing privileges.
- Pro shop staff will use discretion in situations where inclement weather or illness makes it difficult or impossible to play.
We thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

New penalties for on-course alcohol infractions!
It looks (from the 800 or so empties, 80% of which were unlabelled, found in the recycle bins over 19 days) as though Mount Brenton golfers have mistaken this for a BYOB course.
It is not!
The BC Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB) provides strict guidelines and rules for alcoholic beverage service on golf courses and monitors it closely.
Under BC’s liquor laws, all liquor consumed on our course must be purchased at the course and specially labelled as such. Outside liquor is defined as any liquor (including beer) not purchased at MBGC. The club is required to limit the quantity of beverages it will sell to individuals, and this is the primary way LRCB rules help limit over consumption on or adjacent to the course. Through education and regulation, LRCB rules are intended to help make sure that the service and sale of liquor is done according to law and in a way that keeps customers, guests, and others safe from alcohol-related harm.

The Golf Course
Created in 1948, the par 71/73 Mount Brenton Golf Course is located in the scenic, historic town of Chemainus, Canada’s Mural Capital. With shaded fairways flanked by towering firs, the course also features willow, hemlock, maple, scotch and ponderosa pine, sequoia, cedar, dogwood and giant cottonwood. A challenge for every level of golfer, there are plenty of creeks to hurdle and ponds to circumvent. Maintained by an excellent grounds crew the fairways are lush, the greens are true and the sand is deep. An extensive drainage system also makes Mount Brenton one of the most playable golf courses year round on Vancouver Island. Book a tee time today and come and see for yourself.
Restaurant
Julie’s Canteen on the Green is now open for business from 11 am to 6 pm daily, 250 324 0577. Chef Julie wants to thank members for their support during the Canteen’s start up and staff training period. Oh yes, and the current Covid crisis. She adds that the takeout sandwich containers have arrived, so if you are making the turn, or want a sandwich to take out on the course because you are hungry and/or running late, call the Canteen and order ahead.
Sandwiches are $7.95 (and look great). You can choose from egg salad, smoked turkey and cheese as well as ham and cheese.
