Fraserview Golf Course

Fraserview Golf Course occupies a flat, parkland site in southeast Vancouver, bordered by residential neighborhoods and the Fraser River to the south. Canadian architect Thomas McBroom designed the layout, which opened in the mid-1990s as a municipal facility operated by the city. The course replaced an earlier nine-hole track and serves as one of Vancouver's accessible public golf options, drawing a diverse membership and daily-fee play from across the metropolitan area. The routing works within modest elevation changes, relying on strategic bunkering, water hazards, and mature tree corridors to define holes and create challenge. McBroom's design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating enough length and hazard placement to test accomplished players. Several holes run along or near the river, though views are limited by vegetation and the flat terrain. The layout includes a mix of straightforward par fours and shorter par threes, with water coming into play on multiple holes. As a municipal course, Fraserview maintains a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere. The facility includes a clubhouse with basic dining and a practice area. Its location within city limits and relatively affordable green fees make it a regular venue for local leagues, junior programs, and casual rounds. The course reflects Vancouver's commitment to accessible public golf in an urban setting where land for recreation is increasingly limited.
