Langara Golf Course sets a new standard for playability

The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation proudly announces the successful completion of a transformative drainage project at Langara Golf Course. With the installation of 83,000 meters of drainage pipe, golf enthusiasts can now enjoy enhanced playing conditions throughout the year, solidifying BC’s oldest public golf course as the driest golf course in the Lower Mainland.

Langara, McCleery and Fraserview Golf Courses, alongside three pitch and putt properties, generate more than 13 million in annual gross revenue. These funds support public programming and recreational activities through the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation's general revenue.

The 46-hectare course serves an essential ecological function, providing a cooling effect to the urban surroundings. Throughout the drainage project, displaced soil was repurposed to form naturalized meadows, providing refuge for various species. Encircled by a 2.3-kilometre public perimeter trail, the course is a sanctuary for wildlife, birds, bees and waterfowl.

Langara, McCleery and Fraserview Golf Courses proudly hold Audubon International’s esteemed Signature Sanctuary Certification achieved through rigorous adherence to standards in environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management, water conservation, and other pivotal areas. With fewer than 5% of BC golf courses obtaining this distinguished certification, it verifies sustainable design, construction, and long-term management of golf courses.
