Everyone here knows how passionate I am about the game but, there are some places that should be left alone, as far as golf goes, and the West coast of Vancouver Island is one of them. I know that there are some higher end guest resorts over there, but they are relatively unobtrusive and are designed to have a very low environmental impact.

The area of Tofino, Uculet, Long Beach, Pacific Rim National Park, Clayoquot Sound, not to mention the temperate rainforest, is one of the true "escapes" on the North American continent, if not the World. It's a truly beautiful corner of the planet. A great place to just "be". IMO, a huge golf resort will go a long way to ruining that.

I spent a lot of time there when I was a kid, my uncle was stationed in Ucluelet with Highways. Very pretty, not sure what the course will do to it. I kind of agree with Lobwedge...
