Golfing in Surrey is all about choices. From high-end private golf courses to well-maintained public greens, from a wide variety of driving ranges to fully stocked golf pro shops, Surrey offers one option after another for teeing off in beautiful, park-like settings.
In total, this sports-oriented community has seven major golf courses. Two of the best-known courses are Northview Golf & Country Club and Morgan Creek Golf Course.
Northview Golf & Country Club (6857-168 St) is a must-visit for fans of the PGA Tour, as the Air Canada Championship was played here in Surrey between 1996 to 2002. Northview is home to two courses designed by the legendary Arnold Palmer.
It was on Northview's Ridge Course in 1999 that Canadian, Mike Weir won his first PGA tour title. Tackle the challenge of this 6,900-yard, par-72 course with numerous water features, or try the 7,100-yard, par-72 Canal Course with its broad fairways and serene ambience. Proper golf attire is required, and the Palmer Room offers fine dining.
Morgan Creek Golf Course (3500 Morgan Creek Way) was designed by the award-winning Thomas McBroom, and has great views of Vancouver's North Shore Mountains. The 18-hole course, which has been ranked among Canada's top 50 golf courses by SCORE Golf magazine, is open year-round. A team of experienced golf pros offers lessons, and the clubhouse is a popular venue for weddings and banquets.
