Tips for golfing in Metro Vancouver

  • Book early for summer weekends. Most public courses open tee sheets about 7 days ahead, and prime morning times go fast.
  • Look for twilight rates. Late-afternoon green fees are often much cheaper, and summer light lasts past 9 pm.
  • Winter golf is normal here. Courses with good drainage, such as Morgan Creek, Mayfair Lakes, Swaneset and GreenTee Langley, stay playable through the wet months.
  • Bring layers. Fraser River and Boundary Bay courses can be windy and cool even in summer.
  • Use transit for city courses. Langara, Queen Elizabeth Park and Central Park pitch and putt are all near SkyTrain stations.
