Venue

Chilliwack Golf Club

British Columbia, Canada

Chilliwack Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course established in 1958, located between Chilliwack and Abbotsford in the Fraser Valley, approximately 45 minutes from Vancouver. The course features tree-lined fairways, meandering creeks, and breathtaking mountain views set against the valley landscape. The semi-private course is characterized by its natural terrain and scenic setting, offering a near 12-month golf season with world-class conditioning year-round. It has served as the testing ground for every major provincial championship in British Columbia and maintains a reputation as both a challenging venue for competition and an accessible starting point for new golfers. Notable features include water hazards, such as the hazard on Hole 15, which presents strategic challenges requiring golfers to balance aggressive drives against the risk of rolling into the water. The course offers comprehensive practice facilities including grass tee decks, a practice hole, and putting green. Chilliwack Golf Club also hosts the Atlas Performance + Golf Academy for instruction and game improvement. The club maintains an active membership base with programming across men's, women's, and junior divisions, hosting both competitive tournaments and social events throughout the year.
