Sandpiper Golf Club

Sandpiper Golf Club sits in the Fraser Valley community of Harrison Mills, British Columbia, roughly 100 kilometers east of Vancouver. Designed by Russ Olson and opened in the mid-1990s, the course occupies relatively flat farmland characteristic of the valley floor, with the surrounding Coast Mountains providing a dramatic backdrop. The layout takes advantage of the region's natural water features and mature tree stands, incorporating wetlands and creeks that come into play on several holes. The routing follows a traditional out-and-back design across open terrain, with fairways bordered by stands of fir and cedar. Water hazards appear frequently throughout the round, requiring strategic placement off the tee and on approach shots. The course plays to a length that accommodates both recreational golfers and more competitive players, with multiple tee boxes allowing for varied yardages. Greens are moderately sized and contoured, protected by bunkers and the natural water features that define much of the property. Sandpiper serves primarily as a public-access facility in a region known for outdoor recreation, drawing golfers from the Lower Mainland who venture into the Fraser Valley. The course benefits from its proximity to Harrison Hot Springs and other tourist destinations in the area, making it part of the valley's broader recreational landscape. The setting offers a quieter alternative to urban courses closer to Vancouver, with the agricultural character of Harrison Mills still evident in the surrounding countryside.
