Why Golfers Keep Coming Back to Country Meadows GC

Immaculate Conditions & Fast Greens

Country Meadows Golf Course has earned a strong local reputation for its consistently well-groomed fairways and greens, especially impressive for an executive-length public course.

  • GolfNow praises the course for being “well-groomed… difficult yet friendly”, making it a rare blend of playability and challenge for all skill levels.
  • Hole19 highlights “impeccable conditions and friendly staff,” specifically pointing to how the greens are fast and the fairways are well-maintained year-round—even during shoulder seasons.

This level of conditioning is particularly appreciated by repeat players who use the course to refine their short game, and by newer players looking for a forgiving yet serious golf experience.

“Best executive in Vancouver area. Greens are always fast. Pin locations are rotated frequently - it’s not repetitive.” – Reddit review, r/VancouverGolf

Exceptional Value in Metro Vancouver

Compared to longer championship courses or resort-style clubs in the Lower Mainland, Country Meadows offers one of the best values for public golf in British Columbia.

  • Affordable green fees make it ideal for frequent golfers, beginners, and families.
  • You don’t need to pay a premium to get excellent turf quality and responsive greens.
  • Walkable layout saves on cart fees, and twilight rates offer even more budget-friendly options.

“This place is a gem. It’s hard to believe they keep it in this good condition with what they charge. No brainer if you’re in Richmond.” – Facebook comment

Whether you’re a local golfer or someone traveling into Vancouver, this course offers great bang for your buck. Even golfers who usually play full-length courses often return to Country Meadows for short-game sharpening or quick 9-hole sessions.
