Course Conditions
In the last three weeks, we have received approximately 180 mm of rain and so the course is saturated right now. We are seeing a little bit of disease pressure on some putting greens and throughout the course which is normal for this time of year and current weather conditions.
Maintenance Projects
We are just wrapping up the irrigation work on #3 and will begin prepping to start work on #2 the week of Jan. 23. We are going to replace the irrigation on the first half of the hole and have the hole closed from the tee to the creek, players will tee off from across the creek.
At the same time, the CVRD will be doing some work on their trail bridge, and I have told them trail users could use our bridge for a couple of days when theirs is closed.
We have also begun to build the base for the forward tee on #10.

The pace is picking up as the club’s 75th anniversary year unfolds.
This week the 75th-anniversary legacy flagpole will be installed, and three flags unfurled, one of which is our new MBGC banner (below, right). This official dedication will take place on April 23, the original opening date of our course.
Also, two celebratory “feather” banners (right) will be installed this week, one on the first tee, and the second on the 10th.

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.
