Mr Lim and I decided to play the nearest golf course in Vancouver that was Northlands Golf Course which was wisely recommended by the hotel staff at the Sutton Place Hotel. I have previously stayed in this hotel in 2011 and found the location was very good for dining and shopping which is the Robson Street. Robson Street is the famous shopping and dining street where Banana Leaf Restaurant is located and lots of Asean Restaurants too! Shopping branded items is also a must and I bought a Samsonite bag at a bargain...
Since we are talking about golf, here are some photos of this golf course which is about 25 km from Vancouver! We paid CAD 50 for the Titleist rental set which was the 913 series and Scotty Cameron putter..
We were late for our tee-off time due to unexpected traffic jam but the starter was kind enough to let off the group behind us to go first and he informed everybody at the 1st tee box that we are golf professionals from Malaysia and just arrived from the airport...As we only play two balls, he asked another two balls to join us, so Greg from Australia and Watney from Vancouver played with us...Greg by the way is a 8 handicapper!
That's Greg and me, we both played 88 gross because he sprayed his tee shot into the woods many times,,,
As for me and Lim, we were all square with 88, such as nice course and great golf sets too...while we waited for the city cab to arrive, I bought a t-shirt at Club Pro-shop and saw a notice about selling all the available rental sets on the 14th September for only CAD 1,000, but we were scheduled to fly home on the 11th..
