Peace Portal Golf Course


About this course
Peace Portal Golf Course sits in Surrey, British Columbia, near the United States border crossing from which it takes its name. The course was designed by A. Vernon Macan and opened in 1928, making it one of the older layouts in the Lower Mainland. Macan, a Canadian architect active in the early twentieth century, routed the course over relatively flat terrain typical of the Fraser River delta region, incorporating mature stands of Douglas fir, cedar, and other Pacific Northwest vegetation that have grown to define the playing corridors. The layout features tree-lined fairways and modest elevation changes, with strategic bunkering and water hazards coming into play on several holes. The course measures around 6,400 yards from the back tees and presents a traditional parkland test that rewards accuracy over distance. Several holes require careful club selection and course management, particularly where mature trees narrow landing areas or frame approach shots to small greens. Peace Portal operates as a public facility and serves both local golfers and visitors to the Surrey area. The course has undergone periodic updates to maintain playing conditions and modernize infrastructure while preserving the character of Macan's original design. Its location near major transportation routes and the international border makes it accessible to golfers from both British Columbia and Washington State. The setting reflects the suburban development patterns of the region, with residential areas bordering portions of the property while mature trees provide definition and a sense of seclusion within the playing corridors.

Getting there
Most visitors arrive via Vancouver International Airport, a straightforward 45-minute drive north across the Fraser River and into the southern reaches of Metro Vancouver. The route follows Highway 99 through the flatlands of Delta and Surrey, trading the urban pulse of the city for the quieter, tree-lined streets of Blaine's northern neighbor. Peace Portal Golf Course sits just minutes from the U.S. border crossing that shares its name, a fitting threshold between nations and a serene terminus where the hum of international transit gives way to the calm of a classic parkland layout.
