McCleery Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play McCleery Golf Course for ideal conditions?

We've found late spring (May-June) and early fall (September-October) offer the sweet spot at McCleery. You'll avoid the peak summer crowds and often enjoy beautifully maintained fairways without the intense heat, plus the greens are usually rolling true. Just pack a light layer, as mornings can be crisp.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at McCleery, and is it a walkable course?

McCleery's real test lies in its subtle elevation changes and the strategic placement of mature trees, especially on the back nine. While it's generally flat and very walkable, don't underestimate the need for accurate iron play to navigate those tree-lined fairways and avoid punch-outs.

How does McCleery's value compare to other public courses in the Vancouver area?

For the quality of conditioning and the pleasant parkland setting, McCleery offers excellent value, especially if you're looking for a solid round without breaking the bank. It's often a more relaxed and less expensive option than some of the flashier resort courses, making it a local favorite for good reason.

Are there any signature holes or unique features at McCleery that we should look out for?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th; it's a beautiful hole with a pond guarding the front and right, demanding a precise shot. We also love the stretch from 7 to 9, where the course opens up a bit and you can really let loose with the driver, offering some great birdie opportunities if you're on your game.

What's the post-round experience like at McCleery, and is there a good spot for a drink or bite?

Absolutely! The clubhouse at McCleery has a comfortable, unpretentious vibe, perfect for unwinding after your round. We always grab a local craft beer and a casual bite on their patio, which offers a nice view of the 18th green - it's a great spot to recap your birdies and bogeys.
