It is the largest consumer golf show in Western Canada and our favourite event of the year here at Guys On Golf!

Pagoda Ridge – Best New Course in British Columbia

wall

Right from the first tee, we here at Guys On Golf had a good feeling about Pagoda Ridge. By the time we finished 18, we were already planning our next round and getting another crack at it…which is a good problem for a new golf course to have. It is a fun, yet challenging PGA style course with wide fairways and bent grass greens and opened in August of 2012.

It is located just off the 264th street exit on the #1 Highway in Langley. Click here for directions


“Pagoda Ridge is a true players course with thoughtful greens and distinct vision, crafted by the passion of one family’s dream” explains Matthew Orr of Guys On Golf.

When they say come “Golf the Wall” they really mean it with this one of a kind brick replica of the Great Wall of China on the 14th hole that you actually drive over, adding to your already memorable experience.

Some impressive numbers for their first Summer, including selling more than 20,000 rounds – the family run course was thrilled with their start.

“We really love the feedback we’ve gotten from everyone and we can’t wait to open up for our first full season on February 15th” said General Manager, Larry Brown.

Larry, along with brothers Lenny, Lloyd and sister Tammy Stamnes helped put this family dream in motion after their father Lyall had the vision and the land for such a unique Asian inspired theme.

With a new Pro Shop and BBQ area under construction, they are ready to host a number of tournaments and events in 2013, including the Vancouver Golf Tour at the end of September.

Pagoda Ridge opens for the season on February 15th, but you can already start to book your tee times here
