One of the best things about golfing in the Lower Mainland: courses stay open almost year-round. The trade-off is rain, dew and soft fairways from November through March. With the right gear, winter golf here is genuinely enjoyable — here's what locals rely on.
Waterproof shoes are non-negotiable
Wet grass all morning, soft ground everywhere — regular runners soak through in three holes. Waterproof golf shoes with proper traction are the single best investment for BC winter golf. Look for sealed uppers and aggressive outsoles.

A real rain glove setup
Keep two gloves in rotation and swap mid-round when one gets soaked. Store the spare in a zip-lock bag inside your push cart or bag pocket.
Towels — more than you think
One towel for clubfaces, one for grips, one for your hands. Clip a microfiber towel to your bag and keep spares dry inside.
The right ball for cold weather
Cold air reduces ball compression and flight distance. A softer 2-layer ball performs more consistently under 10°C than a firm tour ball — and losing one in a puddle hurts less.
Umbrella and cart
A sturdy golf umbrella covers you and your bag between shots, and a push cart keeps everything organized and off wet ground.
All of this gear is stocked at our Langley shop — see what local golfers buy most, or come by Golden Ears Centre and gear up in person.
