University Golf Club is a great place to golf, eat, get married, hold meetings, party or shop! It's no wonder we have been voted #1 public golf course 10 years in a row by Vancouver Courier readers. University Golf Club is a traditional golf course with long, narrow fairways and towering old growth trees.
Michael has been the University Golf Club's General Manager since 1997. Prior to that, he was the club's Head Golf Professional for three years. Before coming to UGC in 1994, he spent 14 years working at the prestigious Capilano Golf & Country Club in West Vancouver. He is the only member of his family not born in beautiful British Columbia.
The University Golf Club has been serving Vancouver since 1929. We've been voted "Best Public Golf Course" ten years in a row by Vancouver Courier readers - a fact we are very proud of! University Golf Club is a fun and exciting place to work, but we also work hard. We do our best to provide the highest possible customer experience, meeting or exceeding all our customers expectations.
University Golf Club is a traditional golf course with long, narrow fairways and towering old growth trees. It is only minutes away from the city but it feels like you're in the country and away from it all. Carved out of the pristine forests of the University Endowment Lands, the 18 hole par 72 course is a favourite among both casual golfers and regulars.

We had consider a few places to host our event but at the end we couldn't be happier to have our event at University Gold Club!
The Event Coordinator, Joni was more than helpful to help us plan the entire process and she was very quick in responding via emails/calls, all the precautions and the finer details were well taken care of so that our event could run as smoothly as possible. All our guests had a fabulous time and the overall service in addition to the food was amazing! We highly recommend University Golf Course as the venue to host an event!

Came for a little driving range practice today; the range is generally quite busy these days and there is still no hitting from the stalls; so it is from the mats on the ground which is okay. The back net is about 270 yards or so and stands almost 100' high, so unless you can really rack it, you won't get it over the back net. The ball machine is a bit quirky; make sure you follow the prompts SLOWLY and don't be too quick to tap your credit card, else the machine can't keep up and will charge your without dispensing the balls, and the staff cannot refund you as they have no record of if the transaction

Golf club out by the UBC area. This review is for the driving range.
Parking is available in the large lot.
Not sure why they weren't using the covered tee area at the time, as it was a really hot sunny day. Guess it's more for rainy days.
The netting at the back only covers the far end and a bit of the sides, so an errant ball can easily end up on the course.
The driving range has 30 spots available, and it wasn't too busy. There are 8 "holes" in the range as well, which gives something to aim at besides the back netting.
There is also a very small pro shop selling

Played University Golf Club a few weeks ago and was impressed with how they handled the Covid situation. Carts were reserved, check in was quick and the course was in good shape. After golf our group had lunch in the restaurant which was set up with tables separate from one another. The food was decent and the beer was cold.
If you can believe it, that was the day it rained, and poured, and we got soaked. Nice to say that the restaurant has a fantastic carrot soup plus a few other choices to warm us up!!
Great course to play if your a duffer..........fairways are wide enough for most golfers

University Golf Club has a spacious green course perfect for a tournament as held today. As a visitor, I enjoyed the time inside the club restaurant more than the outside green. Though the restaurant window, I obtained a better view of the course scenery while enjoying a delicious hot meal - deep fried Pacific cod and chips, squash soup, and a small pot of hot water - in a warm setting and atmosphere.

When we first saw the ceremony site at University Golf Club, we knew it was the perfect venue for us, with the cute gazebo, little bridge over a stream, and the beautiful gardens. Joni, UGC’s Events Coordinator, was always quick to respond to our emails whether it was by email or phone. She was organized and always provided clear information, whether it was for our wedding specifically or the wedding tasting event. The Banquet Team, led by Naser and Tom, was also splendid. They were polite and efficient at our wedding reception and Tom in particular was very friendly to us and our guests. The

It was the annual VST Chancellor's Dinner at the UBC golf club and the three course dinner was great. I've been to a lot of large banquets at this place and I've always been impressed with the venue and the food. In fact I had my wedding banquet at this place over 25 years ago, so if you are looking for a place for a big party you might want to consider this venue. At the Chancellor's dinner the salad with scallops and prawns was yummy. The main course was a choice of halibut it beef (I had the halibut and it was nicely cooked - moist and well seasoned).

The restaurant here is really sub par for a golf club in an area such as this to be honest you'd think it would be more higher end than this. Took private golf lessons. I'd say they were average like the instructor wasn't totally into it and I thought I could have learned a lot more of he was more into teaching than what he was so it was just meh!

Came to BC on vacation, my hotel made reservation for a noon tee time on Wednesday. Tee sheet was packed, which was surprising.
The course is not long and neither is the rough, but it isn't length that makes it a challenge. It is narrow in places, very tall trees, almost rain forest like. Go in and you won't come out. The rough is tough to get through, as it should be. The greens were slow, but that is a good thing, because you don't play on the PGA/LPGA tour. Bunkers are very well edged. Rental clubs are brand new Taylor Made.
Super friendly folks working there.

If you are looking for a place to host your (Xmas) party still, this place may be an option (if they aren’t fully booked yet!). Their dinner was pretty good but their dessert was even better. The mini donuts 🍩, cupcakes and cakes 🍰 were just so delicious! The only problem was not being able to eat enough!

New restaurant management??... Been going here for years and it was always very good. Not now. The other night; horrible. Not our waitress who was sweet and apologetic. Where do we begin? The veggies were so hard they were inedible, the meat was tough, the food was cold, the 'roast potatoes' were not roasted; they were over boiled & oily, to the point of baby food (so gross), they didn't bring our to-go soup, which they charged us for, the loud-taker manger guy who was poorly dressed wouldn't stop talking and added to the disaster. Asked him for something and we went off

We came here for dinner with a pretty large party (8 people) and was looking forward to a nice view and good food. Our waitress was not the most attentive person in the world but I did not expect her to slam my Bloody Caesar on the table and walk away without a word. Simply RUDE. We had a dirty dish and some confetti like material in our cups.
The food was good but the quality of service could be improved. Make sure your plates are completely clean before serving us next time.

Just played here this weekend...it's a course layout I enjoy and have played many times in the past. Price and pace of play this weekend just killed it for me.
Surprised to see the rate around $75, it's not worth that at all IMO. Walking down the first fairway, the amount of dead spots in the grass didn't bode well. A few times in the round in the fairway I ended up with lies where there was no grass underneath the ball....in the fairway.
Pace of play on the back nine was glacial, a few times rolling up to tees and the group ahead not even teed off yet....didn't notice

Started taking golf lessons and trying out different driving range.
Some good things about this place:
1) They offer really great deals on beginner lessons compared to other places
2) The ground is real grass and when you hit the ground with the club, it doesn't hurt as much as cement (in the long run, this is better for your body)
3) On a sunny day, they actually put the mats for the driving range closer
4) no club fees and it's open to the public
5) friendly staff
6) lots of parking
7) golf pro shop and nice restaurant
Only one bad thing:
1) not a lot of spaces to practice and at

University Golf Club has wide, forgiving fairways. Rolling hills.
I golf here with colleagues, annually, for past 10 years.
Well-maintained, par 72 course. Friendly staff.
Rental clubs are replaced annually. This year's rentals are excellent TaylorMade RBZ Rocket Ballz.
Tip: Layer clothes in case cool, even in June. Weather can change and often does during course of a game.
$45 taxis ride from airport.

The University Golf Club encompasses many amenities: Westward Ho! restaurant, a driving range, training academy, practice putting area, and 18 hole golf course. I've experienced the training academy, practice putting area, and driving range.
The training academy has a really nice space and our instructor was laid back and friendly. I'd definitely go back again if the lessons were cheaper.
The practice putting area is near the 1st tee and has a really nice speed to it. It's real grass and it's big enough for 4-5 people at a time.
The driving range is real grass and has two

The restaurant
we are locals so have been to this clubhouse many times - We kept giving it a chance because the location and scenery are quite nice. But, after last nights dinner we decided that until they change their chef and stop serving wilty salad and tasteless meals to their clientele it is not good value and therefore not worthy of our hard earned money.
the service attitude is pretty good for the most part although poorly trained on many levels - ie wiping tables off into the laps of clients, more than once!
Sorry but I am fed up and very disappointed .
The golf course itself is great

A Non Members Golf Club has some nice turf to talk about since 1928 when it started. Its a Vancouver jewel, that offers much more than 18 holes.
It has a large driving range, full list of lessons available, banquet rooms, catering, restaurant, bar, large pro shop, locker rooms, even a golf museum. Most of the dining space over looks parts of the golf course.
The actual course its self is very mature lined with old growth, 60% flat, some water, and has lots of forgiving play. Sweet location sitting on the same ridge that UBC is on which gives you mountain & some ocean views.
