Sandpiper
Located in former gold mining and fur trading territory to the east of Vancouver, within “The Great Outside” as it’s marketed these days, the Sandpiper course is a Russ Olsen design that lies on the northern shores of the mighty Fraser River.
Fairways were carved through woodland on a relatively flat property with many of these doglegged holes designed to take advantage of the impressive mountain and river views and it truly is a spectacular place to play golf.
The course boasts a fine set of par threes – at holes 3, 7, 12 and 16 – that vary in length between 127 yards and 222 yards, though the best hole on the card is considered to be the 486-yard par 15th, where a creek bisects the fairway and the putting surface is protected by more water to the front left and back right of the green.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
