Richmond is well-stocked with cool places to swing your clubs in the great outdoors—plus some additional attractions that are guaranteed to raise a smile when you’re seeking that elusive hole-in-one. Read on for our handy guide to Richmond’s golf courses, complete with updated “know before you go” information to keep in mind before you book your tee time.

MAYFAIR LAKES GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB

Why play: A 10-minute drive from Vancouver International Airport, this 6,641-yard, par 71 semi-private course feels like a tranquil, emerald-green oasis far removed from city life. Framed by the North Shore mountains, it’s open year-round and is studded with water features—adding some intriguing challenges to 13 of its 18 holes. There’s a 22-stall covered driving range here as well, and lessons with Canadian PGA professionals can also be booked if you want to brush-up on your technique.

Dining: The highlight of the clubhouse is the Lakeside Grill. Its West Coast and international menu (mains from $16 to $30) includes pad Thai, Cajun sockeye salmon burgers, and herb-crusted rack of lamb.

GREENACRES GOLF COURSE

Why play: Owned and operated by Vancouver’s prestigious Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club, Greenacres has been a popular destination for Richmond golf fans for more than five decades. This public course is framed by tree-lined fairways, willow-fringed water features, and fragrant, well-manicured flowerbeds. The 6,022-yard, par 71 course is one of the region’s most attractive spots for a day of golf.

MYLORA EXECUTIVE GOLF COURSE

Why play: Shorter than standard-sized golf courses, executive courses are popular with those keen to play on a reduced timeframe—and they’re often great value. That’s certainly the case at Mylora, a 3,000-yard, par 57 course where most of the holes range between 100 and 200 yards (the longest is 320 yards). That’ll give you plenty of time to check out the clubhouse restaurant. If you’re planning to play here more than once, consider a multi-visit pass/punch card.

Dining: Harrison’s (closed for Wintertime) is now open for lunch and dinner, from 11:30am to 8:00pm. Lunch and dinner-wise, you’ll find everything from chicken wings to cheeseburgers (starters and main courses range from $5 to $17).

Green fees: Rates at Mylora Executive Golf Course range from $18 to $45; kids aged 6 to 16 can golf for free with each full-priced adult. Book up to seven days in advance here.

COUNTRY MEADOWS GOLF COURSE

Why play: This 3,157-yard, par 58 course has a friendly reputation that makes it a favourite with many locals. They come for a tree-framed course that’s peppered with quirky sand traps and scenic water features coupled with custom-built bridges. There’s also a putting green and two chipping greens to check out.

Dining: Open from 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm from Wednesdays to Sundays, The Grill offers elevated comfort food on a shortened casual menu—and their full wine and beverage list are still available (enjoy a glass of wine from Richmond’s charming Country Vines Winery). Visitors who do not have a pre-booked tee time can make reservations to dine in, and golfers may drop in before or after their game. The patio is open for beverages seven days a week.

Green fees: Rates at Country Meadows Golf Course range from $21 to $33. Book ahead here.

SAVAGE CREEK GOLF COURSE & DRIVING RANGE

Why play: This scenic 15-hole, par 55 executive course features white sandy beach bunkers, water features, and bridges. It’s described as a “pleasurable, yet fair test of golf for the average player.” There’s also a dual-level driving range with 60 covered (and seasonally heated) stalls for those looking to improve their swing; and a Mini Meadows 18-hole putting course that’s great for all ages.
