About Stanley Park Pitch & Putt

The City describes 18 holes ranging from 40 to 100 yards, a par of 54 and a course bordered by rhododendrons. Tee times are first-come, first-served. Players share the course, so a casual arrival does not mean your whole party can start immediately together.

Finding the right arrival point

Choose the Beach Avenue entrance side when planning getting here. The City notes pay parking. Walkers visiting the surrounding garden should stay on appropriate paths and keep out of active play.

What to check before visiting

At the October 17, 2026 check, the course page listed weather-dependent daily operation and warned that club rentals stop within 2.5 hours of closing, potentially earlier if stock runs out. Verify current hours, green fees and rental availability directly. Bring enough time for a round rather than arriving just before the closing hour.

Combine this stop with nearby places

Combine golf with Stanley Park Brewing if its service fits, or choose the Ceperley area for non-playing members of the group. Tennis and lawn bowling are separate facilities with their own access arrangements; a golf fee does not include them.
