From our beautiful beaches to our snow-capped mountains, Vancouver is an outdoor paradise, which is why the outdoor lifestyle is so important to Vancouver culture and Vancouverites, as well as a main attraction for travelers and visitors. There are few places in the world that offer such a wide variety of outdoor activities: in Vancouver, you can play at the beach, golf and hit the slopes all in the same day!

Play golf.
University Golf Club is a great place to golf, eat, get married, hold meetings, party or shop! It’s no wonder we have been voted #1 public golf course 10 years in a row by Vancouver Courier readers. It is only minutes away from the city but it feels like you’re in the country and away from it all. The golf course is accessible to all levels of players and can be walked or driven at your leisure. With 9 minute tee time intervals, there is no rush for you to enjoy this scenic course.
Hit the slopes.
Snow seldom falls in the city, yet Vancouverites enjoy easy access to some of the best downhill and cross-country ski facilities in North America.
The twinkling lights of the local ski mountains – Cypress Mountain, Grouse Mountain and Mount Seymour, from west to east – attract the city’s residents and tourists alike, urging them to strap on snowboards, skis or snowshoes throughout winter months. With lifts opening in the morning, and certain runs open until 10 pm, you can pack as much skiing or riding into your day as you can handle.
