Enjoying time at the golf course can be a full day's excursion, though, and you may have had trouble in the past finding the time to enjoy your hobby and favourite sport. If you are living in West Vancouver, you can rid yourself of the lengthy trips for good. With these highly acclaimed golf courses in your own backyard, enjoying a day on the green will come as easily and joyfully as teeing off itself.

You can also conveniently enjoy the expansive green that is surrounded by trees and water at this nine-hole, par 35 course.
