Burnaby Mountain Golf Course & Driving Range

An inviting practice area complements the course, making it a favorite spot for players of all skill levels in the Greater Vancouver region.
Course Overview
Burnaby Mountain Golf Course & Driving Range offers a refreshing and accessible golf experience set within the rolling terrain of Burnaby, British Columbia. This 18-hole public course integrates natural elevation changes and lush tree-lined fairways that invite players to engage with the landscape in thoughtful, strategic ways. Far from flat, the layout demands attention to distance control and shot placement, with uphill and downhill lies adding subtle complexity without overwhelming the player.
The course’s parkland style provides a charming contrast of open spaces and forested sections, creating a rhythm that challenges golfers to adapt on every hole. While sand traps are not overly abundant, their placement around key greens tests approach shots, and water hazards occasionally come into play, emphasizing accuracy. The natural contours encourage a walking game, and the friendly slopes and doglegs present plenty of options to shape shots. This makes the course approachable for mid- to high-handicappers, as well as offering meaningful challenges for more experienced players seeking a tactical round.
Besides the main course, the practice facilities are well regarded, featuring a large driving range with both upper and lower tees equipped with grass-like mats and ample lighting for evening practice. A dedicated chipping area with a bunker and a separate putting green allow players to fine-tune their short game. The course’s accompanying app enhances the round by providing GPS yardages to hazards and greens, a useful tool for pace of play and club selection.
The setting offers expansive views of the surrounding natural landscape, where the subtle winds and elevation shifts engage the golfer’s senses. The clubhouse provides a welcoming atmosphere, with a pro shop and dining area that encourage lingering after the round.
With affordable green fees and a focus on accessibility, Burnaby Mountain Golf Course & Driving Range suits golf enthusiasts looking for a spirited, varied course experience. Whether practicing or playing a competitive round, the venue balances enjoyment with a course that demands thoughtful execution throughout its 18 holes.
Course Highlights
The course features a layout that makes full use of Burnaby’s naturally undulating topography, combining tree-lined fairways with open, elevated holes.

Integration with a GPS golf app offers precise yardage information, enhancing strategic play throughout the round.

This review is for the practice area and range. It could be 5 star so easily. New range mats are nice. It’s well lit and the balls are decent. The chipping area is a bit worn out but it’s nice they have a bunker green to mess with. The putting green is in an odd location away from this area. It’s definitely nice to have these options at the course pregame or dedicated practice.

Beautiful golf course but the experience took a turn for the worse after our run-in with the marshall. This guy looks like "ICE border czar" Tom Homan with the personality of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman of "Full Metal Jacket" fame. There are better ways to ask people to pick up the pace. Surely the City of Burnaby can have this man's talents relocated so as to minimize his interaction with the public.

Now that I've moved to North Burnaby, I've had to find the closest golf driving range to me. It happens to be Burnaby Mountain. This is a public course golf course and driving range. There's a big parking lot and it's quite a walk to the clubhouse to buy the ticket for the driving range. So, use a light bag and don't bring all your equipment but your clubs. This place gets very busy. You'll be lucky if you get a stall right away. Otherwise, it's a waiting game. There are two tiers, bottom and top. The bottom has new grass like mats, whereas the top still has the old worn ones. Looking at the summer hours, this place stays open really late. Nice place to practice your hitting. As for the golf course, it's a beautiful course and well maintained. Love this course. It's challenging with the up and down hills and blind shots and doglegs. Not as many sand traps to contend with, but lots of trees lining the fairway. This is a very busy course because of the price. Before, you could book a tee time 3 days in advance, but now they've changed the system. You can book 1 month in advance but for an extra fee per person. One other great feature is the Burnaby Golf app for your cell phone. Book your tee time with it, plus use it as a GPS playing the course. It gives the actual yardage to the flag. I was using it, and another person in our group was using a range finder. The app was as accurate or better than the range finder. You can use the app for the other Burnaby course, Riverway. Make sure to charge your phone up full and turn off other apps that are running so you don't run out of power.

This beautiful golf course is located in Burnaby and has everything you need for your golf obsession. Driving range, restaurant, golf shop, and friendly helpful staff. Although I wouldn’t recommend the chicken avocado grilled cheese, as it was quite plain. I would recommend taking in the beautiful scenery while sipping some wine after walking this amazing 18 hole course. It’s FORE sure our go to golf course.

This is a municipal golf course in Burnaby British Columbia. It’s a full length course halfway up the side of elevation in Burnaby, and therefore has some good elevation changes within the course itself. It’s challenging as a full length, of course in its own right with elevated greens and tea boxes, as well as a good series of hazards and trees scattered road. There’s a very large driving range and adequate chipping and putting area for practice as well. The pro shop is well stocked and there is a very nicely appointed restaurant just on the grounds. Overall, a very well kept municipal golf course difficult you get teatime on in usual morning or early afternoon hours, but Definitely worth playing and adding to the rotation.

Nice golf course and affordable. The only negative is the ball marks on greens, probably because they really push the players. Marshall’s can be nasty.

I've been coming here for 10 years, mostly at the range, which I loved. However, this year they decided that they needed to persue a money grab to "upgrade" and make the facility worse. For 10 years I've come in to get 3 buckets and often would use some of them another time. This year, they decided to make the code only last 24 hours. Something that was never told to me, is not posted ANYWHERE on the grounds, or online. When I went to discuss it I was simply told "they supposed to ask if you're using it the same day and if you want it loaded onto a card." Needless to say, I was never asked this and they didn't seem to care that I was never informed. If this is new practice than all buckets should just be loaded onto a card instead, but instead they still give the code. I guess hoping to get the money from unused driving range credit. Finally, the "upgrades" to the range, if they can be called that, are horrible! Upstairs it mostly just a long line of the range mats and walls, no paint as they previously had and now a new large hard plastic strip where the tees are, good way to scrape up your driver and not allow for a proper address of the ball. I won't be back, which is probably a blessing to them, so I no longer have to rudely interrupt the private conversations that the shop staff are having with each other, which don't actually end when a client comes in to purchase or pay fees.
