In June of 1998, the award-winning Sandpiper Golf Course welcomed the world to play 18 holes of waterfront and forest golfing.

How's this for a golf getaway? You, your clubs and your favourite foursome travel the world, sampling the game in its myriad forms.

During a recent trip to the island, and in particular the mid-region, I had the chance to tee it up at a pair of great layouts -  Storey Creek in Campbell River and Morningstar in Parksville to wrap things up.
