Mission Golf & Country Club
About this course
Mission Golf & Country Club occupies rolling terrain in the Fraser Valley, approximately 70 kilometers east of Vancouver. Norman H. Woods designed the course, which opened in the mid-20th century during a period when Woods was establishing numerous layouts across British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest. The club's setting takes advantage of natural elevation changes characteristic of the region, with the course routed through mature Douglas fir and cedar forests that frame fairways and provide definition to holes. The layout reflects Woods' practical approach to golf course architecture, emphasizing playability across different skill levels while incorporating the natural contours of the land. The routing moves through varied topography, with several holes playing uphill or downhill and others occupying flatter sections of the property. Views extend toward the surrounding mountains when clearings allow, situating the course firmly within the Fraser Valley's distinctive landscape. Mission Golf & Country Club serves as a community-focused facility in the Fraser Valley, maintaining traditions common to established Canadian clubs of its era. The alternate tees referenced in the course name provide flexibility in setup and yardage, allowing the layout to accommodate different playing conditions and golfer preferences. The course remains a regional fixture for golf in the area, offering a woodland setting that contrasts with some of the more open valley courses found elsewhere in the Lower Mainland.

Getting there
Most arrivals to Mission Golf & Country Club begin at Vancouver International Airport, just under an hour's drive east along the Trans-Canada Highway as the urban sprawl of Greater Vancouver gradually gives way to the pastoral Fraser Valley. The route traces the north bank of the Fraser River, trading glass towers and container terminals for farmland, berry fields, and the first hints of the Coast Mountains rising to the north. Mission itself sits tucked against the foothills, a quiet riverside town where the final turn off Lougheed Highway leads through residential streets to the club's secluded, tree-lined entrance - a serene counterpoint to the metropolitan energy left behind at YVR.
