Fairwinds Golf Club

Some celebrations are at their best when the setting does the quiet work, with forest at the edges of the view and the light shifting across the course.

Fairwinds Golf Club sits in Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island. Private events, including weddings and engagement celebrations, are hosted at Greenview Taphouse, the restaurant at the golf club.

Greenview offers a large indoor space and an expansive patio with sweeping views, in a setting with forest views. A golden hour reception might begin on the patio before everyone settles inside for dinner and speeches.

Food and drinks come from the Greenview team, whose menu focuses on comfort food, Roman-style artisanal pizzas, craft brews and local ingredients from producers they know. Flexible event packages and spaces can be shaped around the group.

Accommodations are located on site, so family and friends travelling in can stay close and turn the celebration into a weekend.

Fairwinds is also home to a marina and a wellness club alongside the golf course, giving guests something to enjoy before or after the wedding.

For couples who picture a relaxed island reception with good food, a patio at golden hour and everyone staying close by, Fairwinds Golf Club offers an easygoing setting in Nanoose Bay.
