Dear Valued Guests,
Many of you would have received the email from British Columbia Golf and possibly also have seen the news piece from Golf Canada, our sport’s governing body. For those that have not, please see the following links;

The Board, Management and Staff made the decision on March 18, 2020 to close the entire facility for a minimum of one week in order to allow for some contingency planning with the aim of potentially reopening for play for members and possibly the public. Had the situation last week remained static, a plan was ready to be implemented for later this week.
Armed with the information from the highest Canadian and Provincial Government and Medical Authorities and the comments from our sports provincial and national governing bodies, the Board of Directors and I are confident that the move to close the entire facility was the right one and we are steadfast in our decision to keep the facility closed indefinitely.
The Board and I do not know when we will be able to reopen. Due to public safety and social responsibility this part is entirely out of our hands. I do however know that when the time comes, the staff at SVGC will be rearing to go. We, like you, love what we have here and we can’t wait to get back to normal life. However, until then, please stay at home with your families, stay healthy and do your part to help everyone beat this pandemic.
Please note that we will be in touch with passholders and purchasers of all our other packages in due time.
Stay safe,
Scott Wengi
General Manager
Squamish Valley Golf Club
