The vision of a golf course on the North Shore of Vancouver west of the Capilano
River began in the 1930's, when a young and determined Vancouver entrepreneur by
the name of A.J.T. Taylor approached the wealthy Guinness family of Great
Britain with a grand plan to purchase and develop 6,000 acres of choice wooded
hillside in the young municipality of West Vancouver. They called this
magnificent area The British Properties, set aside 160 prime acres for a golf
course and the rest, as they say, is history.
While renowned for its stately clubhouse, a host of amenities for members and
their guests, and service levels to match, the true strength of Capilano lies in
its golf course. Designed by the estimable golf course architect Stanley
Thompson, and considered one of his finest efforts, Capilano presents a
challenging and artistic layout that takes full advantage of the topography and
natural beauty of its location. Moreover, Capilano’s traditional design and
immaculate conditioning have helped establish its reputation as one of the
world’s premiere "members' clubs", where the scratch golfer and the high
handicapper can share a game from the same set of tees and each enjoy a
challenging and rewarding golf experience. |
