About this course
Willows at Surrey Golf Club, a fixture in the Fraser Valley, isn't a place where legends were made, yet it has quietly nurtured generations of local golfers. Its relatively modern design, dating back to the late 20th century, unfolds across largely flat terrain, a welcome contrast to the more dramatic landscapes found elsewhere in British Columbia. Don't expect sweeping vistas or elevation changes that will take your breath away; instead, anticipate a course that rewards calculated play, where subtly undulating greens and strategically placed water hazards demand a thoughtful approach. While not a championship venue that echoes through golf's history books, Willows remains a respected test of skill, especially for those who favor accuracy over raw power. The fairways, generally receptive, encourage aggressive tee shots but the course's defense lies in its ability to penalize complacency. A well-struck drive might set you up for birdie, while a slight miscalculation will find you contending with tight lies and lurking ponds. Doglegs on both the front and back require the player to shape their shots. More than architectural innovation or competitive pedigree, Willows at Surrey Golf Club offers something more enduring: a sense of community. It's a place where after-work rounds extend into twilight, where post-game conversation flows freely, and where the shared love of the game binds the members together. It’s known locally as the "every man's" golf course, and the club sandwiches have a reputation throughout the valley. You'll find no pretense here, just good golf and good company.

Getting there
The journey to Surrey Golf Club begins at Vancouver International Airport (YVR), situated just forty minutes south across the British Columbia border, or via Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA) for those arriving from the American Pacific Northwest. From YVR, the drive traces eastward through the suburban sprawl of the Lower Mainland before the landscape softens into the quieter, tree-lined roads of Surrey proper, a transition that signals arrival in one of the region's most discreetly positioned golf communities. For private aviation, Vancouver's Boundary Bay Airport offers a closer alternative, nestling you within minutes of the club's entrance. The final approach winds through residential Surrey, where mature Douglas firs and the gentle topography of the Fraser Valley foothills frame your arrival at Surrey Golf Club - a sanctuary of manicured greens and understated elegance set apart from the bustle of greater Vancouver.
