Metro Vancouver is home to many pitch and putt golf courses. They make for great family fun as well as good short game practice for seasoned golfers.
Pitch and Putt Golf in the Lower Mainland
Pitch and putt golf courses are fantastic for golfers of all skill levels. Every hole is a par 3, therefore, the number of yards to each hole is significantly shorter than what a par 3 on a full-sized course entails. In fact, most pitch and putt players only need to carry 2 or 3 clubs.
These courses are hotspots for family fun, and make for a relaxing time in nature. Beginners can learn the fundamentals of the game and play a round without embarrassing themselves. More experienced golfers play pitch and putt to refine their own short game, or to introduce family and friends to the sport.
Pitch and putt prices are affordable, and club rentals are also available at most courses in Metro Vancouver.
