About
Guildford Golf & Country Club has long been known as one of the finest courses British Columbia has to offer. The golf course is located in Surrey, just across the U.S. border from Washington and less than 40 minutes from Vancouver. The scenic layout has fairways lined with mature trees and the greens are large and undulating. There are also creeks that weave across the golf course and numerous lakes that come into play. The layout has a classic design that still provides a challenge for all skill levels. Golfers are put to the test right away on the first two holes, a par 4 and a par 3 respectively, which require good course management and thoughtful decision making. Guilford's standout hole though, is the signature 16th. This tough par 3 is modeled after the notorious 12th hole at Augusta National, complete with a stone bridge and water hazard that encircles almost the entire green.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my recent experience at your golf course. Our round took over five hours to complete, which I found excessive and frustrating. The pace of play was significantly affected by two groups ahead of us, who were playing extremely slowly. As a result, the group behind us frequently pressured us to speed up, making it very uncomfortable and difficult to enjoy the game.
Although the marshal approached us and mentioned that our group was playing a little slowly, he did not seem to address the real issue—that the groups ahead were causing the delays. While I appreciate that the marshal was polite and encouraged us to keep moving, I believe more could have been done to manage the overall pace of play, particularly by addressing the slow play of the earlier groups.
Additionally, our round started seven minutes later than scheduled, further compounding the delays. Nearly every hole involved a wait of five to eight minutes, which made the experience quite unpleasant.
Overall, I am disappointed with how the situation was handled and hope that attention can be given to improving pace-of-play management in the future, particularly by ensuring that all groups maintain a reasonable speed so everyone can enjoy their time on the course.

The course conditioning at Guildford Golf and Country Club is generally well-regarded, with fairways typically described as lush and well-maintained, providing a good playing surface across the course. The greens are notably large and offer a true roll, contributing to a positive putting experience for many golfers. However, some reviews mention that the greens could benefit from more consistent upkeep, pointing out issues such as un-repaired ball marks that can affect putting quality. Additionally, there have been occasional comments on drainage problems in certain areas, which can impact course conditions after heavy rain. Overall, the conditioning and greens are seen as solid but with room for slight improvement to reach a higher standard of excellence [yelp +3].
Great value
The course offers a good layout with great overall value for the area. Lots of players results in slower play especially on weekends however.
Ok course
I think the tee time is should be longer, help with the pace of games. Waiting on every tee box is painful.
Has Potential
Greens were, unfortunately, horrible. They are already tough and could've been fun, yet they aren't taken care of by players and course alike.
Slow
Course is booking way too close together. 5 hours to get around. We had other time even longer. Greens are in poor condition partly to players disregard to repairing ball marks. Put some more toilets in! If you think folks are waiting to get back to the clubhouse to relieve themselves you’d be wrong. You can smell urine at many of the tee boxes!
They need to step in and manage pace really badly. Wouldnt mind the course so much if it didn't take 5 hours to play everytime. This isn't my first time experiencing this.
Golf at Guildford
Good course with well maintained greens and fairways. The ponds could use some aeration to reduce the scum and marine growth.
