As the flowers start to bloom and the days get longer, eager golfers are getting out their clubs in anticipation of hitting the links.
With a brutal winter behind them, all of the clubs are busy getting their courses in tip-top shape and are anticipating a great golfing season.
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 in East Ladner
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 and a great place to enjoy a beverage and meal after your round.
The restaurant and surrounding patio is one of Ladner's best-kept secrets and provides stunning 360 panorama views of the surrounding mountains.
The Newell family from North Delta bought the course in 2007 because of its love of golf. “We feel a strong connection to the community. Kings Links is really for the people of Delta,” said Brad Newell. “I believe Kings Links to be one of the best courses in Canada.”
The Links at Hampton Cove
One round through this challenging executive golf course will leave most players with lighter golf bags as a few balls are sure to be donated over the nine holes.
As you gain a greater appreciation for the layout and design of this picturesque course, you will realize why it is called a hidden gem in the Lower Mainland. Golfers can immerse themselves in Delta’s lush wildlife, often spotting eagles, blue herons and hawks amidst muskrats, beavers and coyotes.
The courseoffers a choice of three tee boxes depending on your skill level and handicap. From the black tees, golfers will experience 1,848 yards of strategically placed white sand bunkers and manicured greens. There are also the options of playing the white tees at 1,674 yards and the red tees at 1,454 yards.
Many players who choose to play 18 holes will play the front nine off one set of tees and the back nine off the other as the course sets up quite differently depending upon the distance.
Tsawwassen Springs
Even when Mother Nature isn’t on board, Tsawwassen Springs is still a great place for a round of golf.
With the best drainage in the Lower Mainland, the fairways will be the driest in the area even if the previous day brought a large amount of rain and the greens will always be smooth and fast.
If you only have time to hit a bucket, don’t forget about the course’s heated and covered driving range to get a kick start on the 2019 season.
