Capilano Golf & Country Club
West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada • Private
Overview
Capilano is definitely Old School updated to modern times. The holes of this Stanley Thompson design, now nearly 90 years old, are terraced in pairs into the mountainside, and the enormous Douglas fir, hemlock and cedar that line them give the mistaken impression that the corridors are narrow. Thompson’s bunkering is spectacular and prolific. In recent years, Doug Carrick has rebuilt three greens and expanded others to accommodate desired green speeds of 10 to 11 on a Stimpmeter. From the elevated first tee, the city of Vancouver, five miles south, is visible, and the last six holes provide outstanding views of the Coastal Range, particularly Hollyburn Mountain.
