A bit of Highland Pacific golf history...
Nearly 50 years ago, local architect, historian and artist Herb Plasterer bought 190 acres of property next to Thetis Lake and envisioned building a public golf course on the property. Rather than subdivide the land straddling Saanich and View Royal municipalities, Herb and his wife Rose Maria wanted to maintain the property’s natural beauty with space accessible to the public as a buffer to the adjacent parks. The natural features of the property lent itself well to his vision of outdoor recreation for the community.
Herb did not fulfill this dream in his lifetime so Rose Maria Plasterer and family s relied on the vision, craftsmanship and practical expertise of golf course architect Chris Young to create this uniquely beautiful and challenging golf course. The family chose the name Highland Pacific golf to honour the memory and the vision of Herb Plasterer. The HP logo used to represent Highland Pacific Golf is modeled after the chiseled signature used by Herb Plasterer on his art pieces.
