Vancouver Staycation Ideas and a StayVancouverHotels Giveaway 
Vancouver Parks Golf Giveaway
Being more familiar with the local pitch & putt courses than anything else, over the last few months I’ve had the chance to branch out and explore Fraserview Golf Course, one of three courses run by Vancouver Parks Golf.
Fraserview
Location: 7800 Vivian Drive
Features: Par 72, driving range, home of the The Golf Institute, lessons available, pro shop
Green fees: Starting at $15.75 and going up to $63.00 depending on date and time of play

McCleery
Location: 7188 MacDonald Street
Features: Par 71/21, driving range, lessons available, pro shop, Golf Academy
Green fees: Starting at $14.75 and going up to $59.00 depending on date and time of play

Langara
Location: 6706 Alberta Street
Features: Par 71, pro shop, clubhouse
Green fees: Starting at $13.75 and going up to $55.00 depending on date and time of play

In 2004 all three courses received designation as Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuaries recognizing their high environmental standards. Birds chirping and dive-bombing worms, squirrels scurrying, and curious (but harmless) coyotes are on the prowl among native plant species and thick groves of trees.
Vancouver Parks Golf has also recently announced a partnership with the Vancouver Golf Tour and will be hosting the Vancouver City Open this September. They have also committed to running The First Tee program along with the Vancouver YMCA. This is the first of its kind in Western Canada that helps get children and youth involved with golf.
In order to get more local out on the links this season (which will hopefully dry out nicely toward the end of the month) Vancouver Parks Golf has kindly offered up a round of golf at Fraserview for one lucky Miss604.com reader and three friends. I’m launching the contest today in order to build some momentum for Father’s Day as I’m thinking this could make a great gift.
Here’s how to enter to win a day of golf for four at Fraserview:
I will draw a winner at random from all entries in one week, on June 11th.
Update Thank you to everyone for entering the contest. I have drawn a winner at random and it’s Tricia (comment on June 6th), congratulations! Hopefully you can all have the chance to get out to a Vancouver Parks Golf course this summer regardless.

This is great! I’ve tried the driving range at Fraserview and I know my boyfriend and his dad would love a day of golf there.
Great prize Rebecca. I’ve always wanted to try Fraserview. Count me in please.
Looking forward to playing again!
Sounds like fun!
Never played this course and I would love to, hope i win
I’ve only been to the Fraserview driving range and would love to try the golf course! Photos look great, and I read about the YMCA program from the Y’s website too 🙂
I’d love to play!
Sounds Great. I’ve always wanted to play a full course of golf. Pick me please!
One of my favourite courses in the Lower Mainland. Great track!
Enter me please!
What a great prize! 😀
oh I’ve never tried to play golf before but I’m willing to try 😉 thx 4 the contest
I live next to one but haven’t gone!
Great contest. I want to win!
could really use some free golf away from the office.
Fraserview is definitely the best of the city courses. I’ve played it a few times, and would love to play it again (for free of course!).
Very intriguing contest! I want to win!
Yikes. I haven’t played golf since I moved to Vancouver.. so I would so need to hit a driving range first.. but when I last played.. w/only 1-2 lessons was hitting my 3-wood ~250-300.. AND I’ve done Pilates training for golfers.. great (possibly best) cross-training for golf!
That is also SO very cool about the YMCA program.. the more ways we can can make various forms of fitness/sport available to kids.. the better.
Thx for this contest!
Oh what a fun thing I can do with my dad and brother!
Consider me entered!
This would be an awesome father’s day gift to give not only to my father, but allow a friend and his father to enjoy as well. What a great day on the course this would be!
I’ve never played any of those three courses but would absolutely love to!
My father’s favourite driving range… Fraserview!
Fraserview is the best public golf course in the city!
Fraserview is where I finally figured out the game of golf —
hit the ball hard, straight, and not too often!
Although I always have trouble at the drawbridge at Dracula’s Castle, I would welcome more of a challenge.
haven’t gone in a while. would be nice!!
I live by Fraserview but have never played there. It would be a nice opportunity.
I’ve still never played a full 18 hole course.
I’ve never golfed at Fraserview, but have had a number of opportunities to do so rained out. I should check it out some day.
More importantly, I think you just helped me overcome blogger’s block – at least for one post.
I love par three! It is the best part of summer. Fraserview is one course I have not played and would love to!
I have yet to play Fraserview, but I’ve heard great things! Thanks for the contest!
Would love the chance to try a real golf course, instead of the regular pitch and putts!
Sounds great!
Just picked up golf a few months ago… I’d love to win a round of golf, but I’ll probably go to Fraserview sometime this summer regardless 🙂
I would love to play.
I would like to play some golf !
What a great idea for Father’s day!!! Would love to try it with family.
My hubby would love this!

All these great prizes here! Who wouldn’t want to enter! Bring on the Sun, Bring on the Golf!
I would love to win a round of golf and had a great round at Langara last week! We sometimes look for a Friday 4th. @chrisbreikss on Twitter
Would love to win this for my husband!!!
Had fun golfing with you at Fraserview already. Perhaps we’ll golf together again 🙂
Golfing is fun 🙂
I’m a big fan of Fraserview. Great course, very easy to get a tee time and super friendly staff!
I’m the worst golfer I know so I could really use the practice. Cool idea!!!
This sounds great! My fiance LOVES to golf!
I think Vancouver Parks Golf has many courses that are very affordable and yet offer a quality course to play.
I don’t golf a lot but Fraserview is the location of my best golf story: during a twilight round we were followed by a pack of coyotes. They kept and eye on us from the trees for the last 5 holes, perhaps to make sure we left their domain when we were done?
Fantastic course, great deals, 15 minutes from downtown – unbeatable. Great contest Rebecca and great website! Thanks for keeping Vancity informed!
Your blog is one of my favorites. Keep up the entertaining and informative work! I also like golf.
Golf nothing better!!! I ready to win!
