Our Classic Clubhouse
Originally constructed in 1930 as the clubhouse for the University Golf Club, this magnificent 3000 square foot building became the Museum in 1986 through the efforts of a small dedicated group of passionate volunteers. When the golf course underwent a renovation and a new clubhouse was built, the building became redundant, and was actually slated for demolition. It was saved from the ‘wrecking ball’ and restored to its original luster.
A Unique Golf Legacy
It is the only independent golf museum and library in any province or state in North America. On display is an extensive collection of clubs (dating back to 1790), bags and golf balls. Imagine a golf club that is adjustable for both loft and length, as well as right or left handed! One club is all you would need to play golf! It is on display in the Museum! There is also a library of over 5000 volumes of collectible books, reference books and general interest titles. There are 52 categories of ‘collectibles’ on display throughout the Museum.
Keeping Record
An important function of the Museum is the maintenance of a reference library filled with information on virtually every golf course that has ever existed in British Columbia, along with over 1500 player biographies, and the tournament records from all events with a history of greater than 25 years.
