The countdown is on, just 2 days until the Pender Island Fall Fair! We can’t wait for a day full of community fun, tasty food, and island spirit. Be sure to stop by the Visitor Centre’s table for goodies, activities, and our new photo cutout boards, perfect for a silly snapshot with friends and family!
Ready to hit the greens? Pender offers two unique courses surrounded by stunning scenery, open rain or shine.
Pender Island Golf & Country Club
A picturesque 9-hole course open to visitors of all skill levels. Tee times available daily.
Pender Island Disc Golf Park
One of Canada’s top disc golf destinations with a 27-hole course winding through the forest. Fun for beginners and pros alike. Discs are available for purchase at the Pender Island Pharmacy.
Whether you prefer clubs or discs, Pender’s courses are the perfect way to spend a day outdoors.
We often hear, “We’re only on Pender for the day, what should we do?”
With so many hidden coves, local flavours, and scenic spots, it’s tough to fit it all in. But we’ve crafted a laid-back one-day itinerary that captures a little bit of everything we love about island life.
Pender locals, if you had just one day to show someone around, what would make your list? Share your must-do spots for day trippers in the comments!
