Burnaby Mountain at Burnaby Mountain Golf Course and Driving Range

Burnaby Mountain Golf Course sits on the slopes of Burnaby Mountain in the Metro Vancouver area, offering a municipal facility that serves the densely populated communities of Burnaby and surrounding cities. Designed by Bill Robinson, a Pacific Northwest architect known for his work on numerous British Columbia courses during the mid-to-late twentieth century, the layout makes use of the mountain's natural topography and forested character. The course occupies terrain that transitions between residential neighborhoods and the conservation lands higher on the mountain.

The routing works with significant elevation changes, a defining characteristic of golf on Burnaby Mountain. Players encounter uphill and downhill holes through corridors of mature evergreens, with fairways that often require thoughtful club selection given the slopes and changes in altitude. The property's hillside setting means that several holes play dramatically uphill or downhill, and the terrain influences both strategy and shot-making throughout the round.

As a public facility operated by the City of Burnaby, the course provides accessible golf in a region where land values and urban density make such amenities increasingly rare. The attached driving range serves both course players and the broader community. Burnaby Mountain functions as a neighborhood course for local residents while also drawing golfers from across the Lower Mainland who appreciate mountain golf without leaving the metropolitan area.
