2009 Vancouver Official Travel Planner Guide - (Page 27) Golf Photography: Furry Creek Golf & Country Club ©Tourism Vancouver/Furry Creek; Westwood Plateau guest services ©Westwood Plateau Golf Academy What’s New? Westwood Plateau Golf Academy Sculpted in the shadow of Eagle Mountain, the academy course is quickly becoming the finest nine-hole executive golf course in the Vancouver area. An excellent course to challenge your irons and short game, this par 31 has five par threes and four par fours. There are also three sets of tees to adjust the length for every level of player and most importantly to work on your swing adjustments under real course conditions without the need for power. westwoodplateaugolf.com Great Golfing It’s a little-known fact that Vancouver is one of the world’s top golf destinations. Our mild climate makes it nearly a year-round activity. Technically, the season runs from April to October, but many of the region’s courses are open year-round. From links-style courses to mountaintop layouts, Vancouver provides a variety of golf experiences unique to the region. Semiprivate Courses Privately operated courses that are open to the public include University Golf Club, Mayfair Lakes Golf & Country Club, Northlands Golf Course, Meadow Gardens and Redwoods Golf Course. Challenging Courses Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club, designed by Michael Hurdzan, incorporates large Douglas firs, massive granite rock faces and rugged ravines into holes that offer the ultimate in shot values — all in a spectacular mountain setting. And Furry Creek Golf & Country Club is a stunning par-72 championship layout on Howe Sound, about 40 minutes north of downtown Vancouver. Golf Short Courses Par three short courses include Queen Elizabeth Pitch & Putt, located in beautiful Queen Elizabeth Park, and Stanley Park Pitch & Putt. Public Courses Public courses include McCleery Golf Course and Fraserview Golf Course, which are open year-round, weather permitting, and Langara Golf Course, open seasonally.
