I made the mistake of playing Langara Golf Course this weekend. I know it's a popular course to play for Vancouverites. Basically, it's cheap, close by, and generally good for scoring well! My friend booked a 130 tee time on Sunday afternoon. Green fees were $35. A very reasonable price. After I looked up and saw the aerated fairways and greens signage I knew why the price was so reasonable! Sand was abound on this course.... hit a drive down the fairway and there is a splash of sand when your ball hits the fairway. You don't get the mid Summer roll... your shot just dies.... I'm lukewarm about Langara at the best of times. I find it to be a cow pasture! This is not worth the $51 mid summer price! Oh well, we had a fun foursome so we had a fun day! Lots of chit chat and laughs... isn't that what golf is really all about? read more
