CAPILANO GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
🇨🇦 West Vancouver, British Columbia, CA
Designed by Stanley Thompson.



Perched high above Vancouver's stunning North Shore, Capilano Golf & Country Club is a testament to the enduring allure of Golden Age design. The course, a Howard Maurer masterpiece, carved elegantly from the rugged, evergreen-blanketed slopes, presents a classic parkland challenge.
Capilano demands strategic play, not brute force. Its meticulously manicured fairways and deceptively undulating greens reward thoughtful approaches, while strategically placed bunkers punish the errant shot. A slight fade, preferred on several doglegs, will serve the golfer well. While never a host for the most prominent events, Capilano maintains a distinguished reputation regionally, beloved for its challenging yet fair layout.
Beyond the course, Capilano fosters a vibrant membership culture, a haven for passionate golfers and those who appreciate the club’s quiet elegance. One of Vancouver's most exclusive clubs, its membership roster has included some of British Columbia's most prominent figures. The clubhouse, a landmark in itself, stands as a testament to the club's rich history.
And for those who appreciate a proper post-round refreshment, Capilano is known for its exceptional West Coast cuisine and handcrafted cocktails, best enjoyed while taking in the panoramic views of the city and the Pacific Ocean below.
Reviews
Thompson masterpiece. The best mountain golf in the province (sorry interior and kootenays) but this is as perfect as it gets. Conditions are always held to the highest standard and the service is top tier as well. Always a treat to play
