First held in 1981 and now known as the Digital Commerce Group Open, it is the longest running professional golf tour event in Canada. From 1981 to 2008, the Open was played on a rotational basis across three outstanding golf courses. In 2009, the Victoria Open Golf Society entered into an agreement with Uplands Golf Club to serve as the host venue, with subsequent agreements ensuring the tournament’s continued presence at Uplands in the years that followed.
