The Stanley Park Pitch n Putt Golf Course is one of 3 Pitch and Putt golf courses in Vancouver. The others being Queen Elizabeth Park and Rupert Park Pitch and Putt golf courses.

Queen Elizabeth has limited irrigation so gets really dry in the summer and has a mix of holes with generally wider fairways.

October 15, 2022: This past week the greens were aerated and sanded. This means that the greens are very sandy. Bring a towel to clean your balls and clubs.
October 13, 2022: We played the Queen Elizabeth Park Pitch and Putt today. The 18th hole is closed because the netting behind it was burned along with a building in a fire. The course was ok. The greens were recently aerated and sanded so were not that great.
October 12, 2022: We played the Rupert Park Pitch and Putt today. Parts of the front nine are muddy. The greens were not in great shape. There are a lot of leaves on the course so we lost a few balls. Even yellow balls were hard to find with many yellow leaves. Orange balls are probably the best.

We usually like to golf with a pitching wedge as well for the short chips. A really good golfer can play with a pitching wedge and putter.
To get a good score in Pitch and Putt golf, a good strategy is to try to get your tee shot on the green, then try to 2 putt to get par. Hopefully, you will get some opportunities for birdies.
