I've golfed Arthritis Ridge, Cowichan GCC, and Drunken Meadows, all are good courses. Arbutus Ridge has lots of houses along it, the other two are parkland-style courses. Pretty much any Vancouver Island course is good, they get the weather for great course conditions. A nice thing is the pace, usually the courses aren't as busy as Calgary.

Bear Mountain would be at the top of my list, personally. It didn't exist when I lived there.

I think your choice of stopovers is good. Cowichan Valley (Duncan) would be at the last of those choices, the other areas are more touristy. The only other consideration is that weather might be worse in Campbell River, but in September you should be ok. Also, if you like fishing, September is pretty primetime to get out at Campbell River.
