“We are extremely proud to debut our refreshed guest rooms at The Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa,” said Denise Palmer, General Manager. “We are continually working to update and improve the guest experience at the resort to provide world-class accommodation for our guests. Our timing couldn’t be better with the upcoming PGA TOUR Champions event which will bring new worldwide focus to the resort and Vancouver Island.”
This September, The Westin Bear Mountain will play host to the 2016 Pacific Links Bear Mountain Championship. This is an official event on PGA Champions TOUR featuring the world’s premier golfers aged 50 and older competing for a US$ 2.5 million purse. The event will be held on the Mountain Course, one of two 18 hole Nicklaus Design golf courses at the resort. The tournament featuring PGA players such as Vijay Singh and Colin Montgomerie will take place September 19-25, 2016.

As a part of the offer, guests will enjoy one-night of accommodation, one round of golf for two on the Valley Course or Mountain Course (the Mountain Course is available for an additional $50 plus taxes per person).
