Fairview Golf Club
One of the more popular courses in Peace River Country, Fairview Golf Club is well known for its exhilarating, natural setting. The thick bush and native trees that surround Fairview are teeming with wildlife. Moose, deer, beavers, and a variety of bird species frequent the course, making Fairview a perfect retreat to both enjoy the game of golf and ’Äúget away from it all’Äù. Fairview opened for play in 1945 and very quickly replaced its sand greens with grass. In 1980, it added a complete irrigation system and also built a new clubhouse. An interesting feature of Fairview is the amount of water it has. Benefiting from its position next to a lake, this 9 hole course has water in play on every hole. In some cases the water is, at best, a minor hazard. However, on holes such as the difficult #6, water causes real problems. With water on both sides of the fairway, golfers have a very narrow landing area from the tee. And this hole remains tricky near the green where sand bunkers almost completely encircle the target.
