The Gales in Ladysmith is Located in in a Golfer’s Paradise

Posted on Jun 28, 2019

Vancouver Island is a world-famous golf destination and the west coast summer season offers up some of the best conditions to hit the links.

Located conveniently in the middle of the action, the luxurious new home community of The Gales in the Town of Ladysmith offers easy access to golf courses in Victoria, Nanaimo and between.

Some of these renowned courses are members of the Vancouver Island Golf Trail, including Bear Mountain, Arbutus Ridge and the Cowichan Golf Club, while still others offer family-friendly options, signature waterfront holes, and peaceful forested fairways.

Living at your new home at The Gales in Ladysmith, you’ll be close to the action. From your home base in Ladysmith, you can also launch a kayak from the beach or boat launch after your golf round!  Or choose to relax and soak in the sunshine from your ocean view decks.
