Every golfer would dearly love the chance to compare their games with those of the best players in the world. For most it is the fabric of unfulfillable dreams. However, for guests at the beautiful Ridge Course at the Northview Golf and Country Club in Surrey - less than an hour's drive southeast of Vancouver - it's an everyday occurrence.

Northview Director of Golf Operations Chris Hoy sees the personality and playing style of the course designer, the legendary King of Golf Arnold Palmer, reflected in the rolling green acreage. Palmer's legacy is in each of the Ridge's fairways, bunkers, water hazards, and greens. Every guest playing their own private comparison round senses it for themselves, too. Just as the PGA Tour events hosted by Northview have excited golf fans across North America for seven years, the Palmer design is exciting golf personified.

The Ridge Course lives up to the exacting design and conditioning standards of not only Palmer himself, but of the PGA TOUR as well as Northview's companion layout, The Canal Course. Feathered through sensitive environmental areas replete with marshes, streams, grasslands and naturally, canals, this Palmer design is reminiscent of the Scottish Links courses that he loves so well. Northview also offers a world class Golf Academy and practice facilities second to none.

The Northview G&CC clubhouse is a dramatic West Coast wood beam centerpiece to the sprawling 420-acre Northview property. With dining and meeting facilities capable of hosting an enormous event like a PGA TOUR tournament, the Northview clubhouse comfortably accommodates receptions for up to 450 guests. Visitors can also experience an intimate evening of fine dining in the Palmer Room or relax and enjoy post and pre-round fine meals and refreshments in Duffey's Sports Grill.
