History of the club

University Golf Club was designed by A.V. Macan, and was opened as a public course in 1929 by John Boyd. It was originally named Westward Ho!, but the club became known to the public by its current name soon after. The project was originally estimated to have cost little more than $70,000 to $80,000 to complete.

Currently the club does not offer membership of any kind, hence the club's motto: Non-members only.

2007 potential close

The future of the course had at one point been called into question, according to an article in the Vancouver Sun newspaper published on June 27, 2007. The local Musqueam Indian Band was attempting to buy the land which the course occupies in order to build housing, however there is a land use covenant in place restricting the use of the land to a golf course for a "long-term period". The Musqueam Band offered in 2003 to buy the course on the understanding that it would honour the land use covenant.
