As the flowers start to bloom and the days get longer, eager golfers are getting out their clubs in anticipation of hitting the links at Delta golf courses.
With a brutal winter behind them, all of the clubs are busy getting their courses in shape and are anticipating a great golfing season.
The Links at Hampton Cove
Cove Links in Ladner has been re-branded and is now called The Links at Hampton Cove.
Director of golf operations Earl Francis said despite the lousy weather, the course is open and ready for play.
"A few of the holes are a bit wet, but in general, the course is in good shape," said Francis.
During the off-season, Francis said a new tee was built on No. 9 to add some length to it.
"It was 267, so we have added about 40 yards. We also re-did both tees on six," he said. "People wanted to see a longer par 4 on nine and we have done that."
The new clubhouse is open for people to enjoy and by May 1 they hope to open their food service.
Kings Links by the Sea
Kings Links by the Sea is a traditional links golf course situated right by beautiful Boundary Bay on 72nd Street.
The course has extensive membership and pass holder options as well as being open to public booking seven days in advance.
Known for having some of the best greens in the province and fast firm links conditions, Kings Links prides itself on providing an excellent golf experience.
The restaurant and surrounding patio is one of Ladner's best-kept secrets and provides panoramic views of the mountains.
