Where is Point Roberts?

Point Roberts is just south of Tsawwassen on a peninsula surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and Boundary Bay.  It is a 35-minute drive from downtown Vancouver and only minutes from the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal.  Although Point Roberts is in Washington State, the only change that is evident as you cross through the relaxed border crossing is the lack of development and how peaceful and serene everything is.  With less than 100 centimeters of rain per year (much lower than Vancouver) and the lack of wind coming from the ocean, Point Roberts will have more great golfing days than any course in the Lower Mainland.  To put it simply, when you look out on a cloudy, rainy day and see that the sun is shining somewhere to the southwest, it is shining on Point Roberts.

What is the golf course like?

The Point Roberts Golf and Country Club is one of the best courses in the Lower Mainland if not the Pacific Northwest. The course is cut through the forest with views of the ocean distracting your eye on several holes. It plays between 5,144 and 6,868 yards depending on the tees and will challenge the potential of every golfer. Graham Cooke and Wayne Carleton have designed a course that flows through the land while taking care not to disturb the natural beauty and wildlife. The course will have you wanting to take risks, but the prudent player will soon learn that an errant shot will have them wishing they would have taken the safer route. . Our signature hole, number four, is a 584 yard, par five from the back tee. This is the fairway you look down as you first drive in to the golf course and its breath taking challenge will inspire the golfer within you.

We opened on August 31^st, 2001 for both member and public play. Since then, The Point, has become known as one of the best courses in the area and our drier winter conditions are unrivaled. Our 100% bent grass greens have matured  nicely, becoming much more receptive to the ball while maintaining superior putt-ability. Gold Digest recently ranked Point Roberts Golf & Country Club, 8th Best New Course in the USA out of a field of about 200 nominated courses.

What about the condition of the course?

The golf course is in excellent condition. Carved out of a mature forest, with 5 inches of sand added over the entire area before it was seeded, has created optimal drainage and exceptional winter conditions. These design techniques, combined with maturity, have produced a golf course that looks and plays like it has been here for years. No plugged balls and no need for rubber boots. For current conditions or weather please call us.
