McCleery Golf Course

McCleery is on the shorter side overall, but playing it from the longest tees adds a surprising layer of challenge. The par 3s in particular stand out, stretching between 180 and 215 yards — definitely not easy and requiring precise long-iron or hybrid play. Course conditions right now are excellent. The fairways are beautifully maintained and the greens are rolling well, around a speed of 9. Visually, the course looks great and feels inviting. One thing to keep in mind is McCleery’s reputation during the rainy season. The low-lying areas can accumulate water quickly, and balls have a tendency to plug or disappear into the soft ground. For that reason, it’s a great idea to enjoy the course now, before Vancouver’s heavy fall rains set in. Overall Impression: A well-kept course that plays tougher from the tips than its yardage suggests. Fun layout, quality conditions, and worth squeezing in a few rounds before the wet season arrives.

Absolutely beautiful course in the heart of Vancouver. We were there on the last day of out stay at a conference and we could only get a later tee time and when we arrived, they said we couldn't tee off and rent clubs. After some pleading they were able to sneak us off the first tee, and it was a magical experience. The course was in fabulous shape and it was a challenging course, but very playable. Highly recommend taking the time to visit this course and enjoy the views and the course itself!

I like the range, chipping area and putting green. The course is a good test (hardest of the 3 Vancouver muni courses). One complaint is that the greens are too soft. Combine that with the people that don't fix their ball marks. Far too many on each hole. The two old duffers I played with didn't fix one.
