Anyone golfed near Vancouver in early March
Looking around the web, it seems that some courses maybe opened in early March.
I was hoping to maybe get a round in if possible.
Has anyone played there in early March?
Any recommendations for a course.
Cheers.

Last year I was in Abbottsford in March and April and the courses were in great shape. If you are near Chilliwack, you have to go to The Falls, a beautiful course cut into the mountain! I also played Sandpiper (east of Mission), Redwood (Langley), Ledgeview (Abbotsford) and Belmont (Langley). Most are open pretty much year round, you shouldnt ahve a problem getting a round in in March.

Check out Northview GC in Surrey. 2 great 18's designed by Arnold Palmer. They used to play the Air Canada Championship on thr Ridge Course. (Mike Weir's first tour win)

That's why I was asking where he was going to be staying. There's good courses all over, and I know the area well, having lived there for 30+ years, so I thought I could direct him to the best selection without having to travel too far.
For example Furry Creek opens March 12 and it's just north of Vancouver on the way to Whistler (they filmed some of Happy Gilmour there, absolutely beautiful), The Falls is another good choice. However they are on opposite ends of the Vancouver area and are about 3 hours apart. If he's downtown, University Club is a good choice. There's lots of options. Northview is good (it's about a mile from my mom's place), Morgan Creek is also very good (also in Surrey)It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.
I am going to be right downtown just south of Stanley Park.

Being Downtown like that, I would recommend:- Furry Creek, about 30 minutes away, but it doesn't open until the 12th
- University Golf Club at UBC - About 20-25 minutes away
- Mayfair Lakes in Richmond - about 10 minutes from the airport, 20-30 minutes from downtown
- The City of Vancouver has three municiple courses all within 20-25 minutes of downtown - http://www.city.vancouver.bc.ca/parks/golf/index.htm - McCleery, which is a nice course along the Fraser River, Langara, built in 1926 and redesigned by Thomas McBroom, and Fraserview, another McBroom course
- Then you've got the out of town courses, Northview and Morgan Creek, both about 45-60 minutes out of Vancouver. The Falls is another hour past them.

The 14th hole at Furry Creek is outstanding!
