2026 Stanley Park Pitch and Putt Golf Course

Lush greens of the Stanley Park Pitch and Putt Golf Course in Vancouver, BC

The Stanley Park Pitch and Putt Golf Course is an exceptional 1,200-yard, 18-hole, par-54 public golf facility.

Individual hole layouts range seamlessly from 40 yards to 100 yards. Because every challenge operates as a par-3, it offers an approachable yet highly satisfying short-game test for beginners and seasoned low-handicappers alike.

Widely celebrated as one of the most picturesque short courses in North America, the fairways weave through towering, mature West Coast trees and are completely encircled by the world-famous Ted & Mary Greig Rhododendron Garden.

The clubhouse patio serves cold drinks and light snacks, and features a well-stocked pro shop offering equipment rentals, tees, and golf balls.

Current Status (June 2026): The course is fully open for the 2026 summer season. Operating hours are daily from 700 AM to 9:00 PM, weather permitting.
  • Hole 1 (40 yards): A very short, flat fairway leading to a slightly raised, medium-sized green. Many golfers struggle with the touch required for this short distance. The putting surface breaks generally from right to left.
  • Hole 2 (80 yards): A longer, flat hole presenting an expansive fairway and a large, slightly elevated green. Watch out for a sharp drop-off if you overshoot deep or to the left. The surface slopes mainly back to front.
  • Hole 3 (70 yards): A mid-length, downhill test finishing on a large, level green. A massive heritage tree guards the left side, forcing players to loft their shots high or shape them intentionally down the right lane. Hole 3 downhill fairway view
  • Hole 4 (65 yards): A short, flat approach to a slightly raised, medium-sized target. Straying too far left, right, or long quickly finds deep tree trouble. The fairway layout can accumulate water during rainy stretches.
  • Hole 5 (95 yards): One of the longest and most demanding holes on the scorecard. Features a flat fairway to a large green, heavily guarded by a large tree stump on the left. Getting caught behind this feature makes par saves extremely difficult. Hole 5 long fairway view
  • Hole 6 (80 yards): A medium-length hole across a level fairway to an elevated, mid-sized green. Clusters of mature trees line the left border and must be carefully avoided on your tee shot.
  • Hole 7 (65 yards): Though intermediate in length, this ranks as one of the hardest handicaps on the course. Features an uphill approach to a sharply tiered green. The putting surface has a small flat section at the top, while the lower 70% features a steep false front. Putting too aggressively will send your ball rolling completely off the green.
  • Hole 8 (75 yards): A mid-length challenge across a flat, narrow fairway tightly framed by overhanging tree branches, leading to a slightly elevated green.
  • Hole 9 (50 yards): A short, straightforward hole playing over a level fairway to a large, flat green. This brings you directly back to the main clubhouse patio area to conclude the front nine.
  • Hole 10 (80 yards): A medium-length, scenic hole playing slightly downhill to a large, receptive green. The low-lying fairway area is prone to soft, muddy conditions during the spring.
  • Hole 11 (65 yards): A short, 65-yard downhill chip to a large, flat green. Waterproof footwear is highly recommended here during wet periods. Hole 11 downhill approach view
  • Hole 12 (50 yards): A short, tricky hole with a slightly ascending fairway to an undulating, bi-level green. Dense forest brush lines the entire left side, penalizing pulled shots.
  • Hole 13 (65 yards): Plays over a dipping, downhill-to-uphill fairway topography. The large green features significant slope breaking from back to front. Keep your shot clear of the left-hand brush line.
  • Hole 14 (100 yards): The longest, most challenging single test on the course. Demands a clean, full iron strike across a long, flat fairway to hit a massive, undulating green that tilts aggressively back to front. Hole 14 long 100 yard fairway view
  • Hole 15 (50 yards): A short, scenic pitch over a flat layout to a friendly, medium-sized green. Golfers must keep their ball trajectory low enough to stay beneath the overhanging tree canopy on the right.
  • Hole 16 (50 yards): A short but deceptive hole over a dipping hollow to a high, sharply raised pedestal green. Missing left drops your ball down a steep slope, leaving a blind, delicate chip-up.
  • Hole 17 (65 yards): Features a rolling downhill-then-uphill fairway leading to a large, sloping green that breaks significantly from left to right. Hole 17 sloping green view
  • Hole 18 (75 yards): The finishing hole features a long, wide, flat fairway to a large green. The surface features a subtle back-to-front slope, setting up excellent opportunities for a final par or birdie in front of the clubhouse.

The Stanley Park course is one of **three public pitch and putt golf courses** managed by the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation.

The other two sister locations are the **Queen Elizabeth Park** and **Rupert Park** pitch and putts. Both variations are physically longer and feature higher technical difficulty scores than Stanley Park. Rupert Park stands out for its deep water features, narrow fairways, and strictly elevated target surfaces, while Queen Elizabeth Park operates on limited seasonal irrigation, resulting in fast summer conditions across wider, rolling fairways.

The total scorecard distance for the 18 holes measures exactly 1,200 yards long.

The official course total Par is 54 (all 18 challenges are set as par-3 holes).

The 2026 club rental fee is $2.86 per iron. Under course guidelines, each player is **required to have at least 2 clubs** (minimum of one iron and one putter) to log onto the course. Equipment rentals stop precisely 2.5 hours prior to the evening closing gate.

The course is open daily from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM (as of Jun 14, 2026), weather permitting.

A centralized public parking lot is situated directly across the street from the main clubhouse check-in desk. This lot also services patrons of the Stanley Park Brewing Restaurant and Brewery and the tennis courts. It rarely fills to total capacity.

Supplementary parallel street parking is available along Lagoon Drive, though golfers should be mindful of stray tee shots. Comprehensive rate cards can be reviewed at the main Parking in Stanley Park tracking matrix.

Yes, dedicated **public washrooms** are built directly into the clubhouse building structure and are accessible throughout daily operating hours.

An uninterrupted round for experienced players takes about 1.5 hours. During typical weekend field volumes, an **average round lasts 2 to 2.5 hours**, and can extend up to 3 hours during peak periods.

While you must carry a minimum of 2 clubs (one putter and one iron), an ideal lightweight configuration is a **9-iron, a pitching wedge, and a putter**. Highly skilled short-game players can comfortably complete the entire par-54 layout utilizing just a single pitching wedge and a putter.

The optimal pitch and putt strategy focuses on control over power: prioritize an accurate, high-lofted tee shot to secure a flat position on the green, setting up a safe two-putt par while avoiding the surrounding tree canopies entirely.
