The Haus of Golf
A state-of-the-art indoor golf facility located in downtown Langley, Haus of Golf features 6 golf simulators powered by industry leading Trackman technology.
The growth of technology in coaching has been growing on tour and high performance coaching. With the facility Haus of Golf all coaches and students get to utilize the best technology in the market. This helps quickly assess and find issues as there is no more guessing. With coaching and practice done with feedback all students will learn faster. Hitting balls at a driving range with no feedback, not knowing if you are doing what you are suppose to is no longer a concern.
The Backyard Golf Company
The Backyard Golf Company
Designed for golfers to work and practice shortgame year round in a comfortable and controlled environment. The new home of the LABsters junior program needs a top quality learning facility where we can train and work on shots from putting to 50 yards. With 4 hitting nets players can work on their golf swings with the focus on the process and not always the outcome. New golfers love the hitting nets, 3 artificial bunkers and the 1 real sod wall bunker.
We host parties, corporate events and families looking to have a great afternoon.
Clayton Hills Par 3 Golf Course
AKA Sunrise Golf Course
Since 1984 the 9 Hole golf course has been a fixture in the community. In 2025 Matt Palsenbarg and Steve Liddicoat took over the operation of the golf course. It has been needed some investments and improvement for a long time coming. Lots of time and resources has been put into the golf course to bring it back to life in 2025. 2 New Greens were constructed. Equipment and Maintenance was invested in. The results is tons of new golfers have been coming back to the fun course this Summer. Great for families, juniors and new golfers the investment into the golf greens has brought back even the best golfers around for a quick 9 in just over 60 mins.
