The Vancouver, Coast & Mountains region offers a multitude of unique and challenging golf courses.
From the spectacular mountain scenery of Whistler and the Sea-to-Sky corridor to the urban courses of Metro Vancouver and the sprawling agricultural land of the Fraser Valley, there's no shortage of golfing options. The golf season runs approximately from April to October, though the region’s mild climate enables many courses to stay open all year long.
Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Michael Hurdzan and Lee Trevino are just a few of the world-class golf course architects whose designs grace this part of British Columbia.
Courses Along the Sea-to-Sky Highway
For a truly iconic West Coast setting, don’t miss Furry Creek Golf & Country Club on the Sea-to-Sky Highway. This course overlooks the pristine waters of Howe Sound from the base of the Coast Mountains, and its signature 14th hole juts out into the sound. Furry Creek calls itself "BC's most scenic golf course."
