Covid rules to be strictly enforced. Members Lounge closed indefinitely.
For nearly two years now, the staff and Board of Mount Brenton have been working extremely hard to keep the club open, and our members safe. We were therefore very disappointed to again receive reports of members ignoring the posted Covid safety rules. For example, unvaccinated members have been seen regularly entering the clubhouse (the Members Lounge/upstairs meeting room, and washrooms in particular).
These rules are essential. They protect our staff and members, many of whom are at high risk of experiencing severe complications if they were to catch this virus.
In light of these recent infractions, and the latest provincial restrictions, the Members Lounge will be closed, effective immediately. Entry into the lower lounge is now restricted to four masked and fully vaccinated people at one time.
Additional rules are as follows:
- Only fully vaccinated people are allowed in any of the indoor spaces, including washrooms.
- If you are not vaccinated, you may not enter any indoor spaces, including washrooms, clubhouse, pro shop, and restaurant. There are portable washrooms on the parking lot side of the 18th green for your use.
- In order to be considered vaccinated, you must have a valid BC vaccine passport and be able to show it to any staff member upon request. If you don’t have a valid vaccine passport — or don’t have it with you when asked — you will be asked to leave.
- The washrooms will be limited to single person entry.
- The administration office is also limited to one person plus two staff at one time.
- The Pro Shop is limited to two persons at a time, in addition to one staff member.
- The restaurant will remain open for the time being. Seating is restricted to a maximum of six per table. Proof of vaccination and a second piece of identification need to be shown, and masks worn to and from the table. No table hopping is permitted, and no mingling.
We are instituting the following disciplinary schedule for any identified unvaccinated individual entering the clubhouse or refusing to provide proof of vaccination; zero tolerance.
Mount Brenton members:
1. First offence, a warning letter issued by the Board.
2. Second offence, a one-month booking and playing suspension.
3. Third offence, termination of membership to be voted on by the Board at a special session.
As with all disciplinary suspensions or terminations of membership, the final decision rests with the Board on recommendation of the Director of Golf Operations and disciplinary committee after thorough investigation of the circumstances.
There would be no refund of dues. Please refer to our Policy & Procedures Manual 4.1(6) “When a membership is revoked or terminated, no refund of annual dues is payable.” (The only exception being the death of a member.)

MB Green Fee players:
1. Immediate and indefinite suspension of booking and playing privileges.

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
Canteen on the Green is now open for business. 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.
