 City setting golf |
7800 Vivian Drive Vancouver, BC V5S 2V8 Canada +1 604 257 6923 (Pro Shop) / +1 604 280 1818 (Tee Times) |
If you want to play golf in a country setting without leaving the city, then this golf course is for you. It is centrally located and private, with dense forests concealing the surrounding cityscape. Watch out for the one-and-a-half-acre pond on the 13th, the stream on the 17th and Vivian Creek on the 18th. The Fraserview Clubhouse serves "On The Go" items like hot dogs, hot and cold beverages, and snacks for uninterrupted golfing pleasure. Review © 2007, Wcities |

For systematic and cautious golfers |
7188 MacDonald St Vancouver, BC V6N 1G2 Canada +1 604 257 8191 (Pro Shop) / +1 604 280 1818 (Tee Times) http://www.city.vancouver.bc.c... |
This newly redesigned course has sculptured but narrow fairways and strategically placed water hazards. The 6,265-yard par-71 course on the banks of the Fraser River is minutes from downtown. The river breeze, full-grown trees and well-maintained greens provide a respite from city noise. After a round, have a cool one at the clubhouse, which serves beverages as well as soups, sandwiches and finger foods. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Arnold Palmer-designed championship course |
6857 168th St Vancouver, BC V3S 8E7 Canada +1 604 576 4653 http://www.northviewgolf.com/ |
Arnold Palmer was in charge of the design and development of this golf resort situated in the scenic Fraser River Valley, just kilometres from downtown Vancouver. He planned not one, but two 18-hole championship golf courses. The first is the 7,100-yard Canal Course, designed for golfers of all skills. The second is the 6,900-yard Ridge Course. Though shorter than the Canal Course, it offers a more challenging round and is the Western Canadian site of the PGA Tour's yearly Air Canada Championship. Green fees start at $35CDN.

 No hazards at all |
West 33rd Ave (At Cambie St) Vancouver, BC V5Z 2W5 Canada +1 604 874 8336 http://www.city.vancouver.bc.c... |
Nestled in the southern section of Queen Elizabeth Park, this is one of the most popular local pitch and putts. Maybe it's because of the blossoming trees and shrubs that surround it, but it could be just the pleasure of the course itself. It has no hazards, save for some trees around the park. Of the 18 par-three holes, none is more than 110 yards. Greens fees (regular/twilight): CAD9.25/6.25 adults; CAD6.50/4.25 seniors; CAD7/4.75 youth. Review © 2007, Wcities |
