Golf
Parksville shines as the golfing epicenter of central Vancouver Island. Just a brief 30-minute drive from Sunrise Ridge, you’ll find a plethora of world-class golf courses in both Parksville and Qualicum Beach. The golf courses in Parksville and Qualicum Beach are all within 30 minutes from Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort and because of the mild climate on Vancouver Island are open almost 365 days a year.
