Richmond sits on flat delta farmland, which makes for honest range conditions - long, level sightlines and room to open up the driver. The city mixes dedicated driving ranges like the Richmond Driving Range with course practice grounds at Savage Creek and Mayfair Lakes, an indoor simulator for wet weather, and a pitch & putt for short-game work. It's where a lot of Vancouver golfers cross the bridge for a proper bucket without booking a tee time.
