Nestled in centuries-old forest and surrounded by the West Coast’s idyllic landscape, Sandpiper Golf Course is a beautiful 18-hole golf course.
Open 364 days a year, this par 72 course runs 6,500 yards from the back tees, and is gently sloped featuring four sets of tees for all playing abilities.
Sandpiper is heralded as one of British Columbia’s best resort courses, is renowned for its adventure packages, and, is consecutively, voted by the province as the #1 golf course in the Fraser Valley. Canadian course designer, Russ Olsen, has done an awesome job of taking advantage of the spectacular water and mountain vistas.
While there are a number of outstanding holes, be sure to check out the signature hole (the 486-yard, par 5 fifteenth) where the footprint of the legendary Sasquatch guards the green. Sandpiper’s manicured layout and easy walkability combines brilliantly with the area’s rugged beauty…creating an unforgettable golfing experience. Come #PlaythePiper!

In 1951 several members of the East Aurora Country Club joined with H.R. “Renny” Merritt, Jr. to further his idea for an invitational golf tournament for junior golfers in Western New York.
Merritt, the sectional committeeman for the U.S.G.A., felt that such a tournament, for boys who have not reached their 18th birthday, could contribute to the growing interest in golf on the part of many youngsters.
In 1953 the first annual Junior Golf Invitational tournament of the East Aurora Country Club was held, with Ward Wettlaufer winning the McAuliffe Trophy, emblematic of the championship. At that time, competitors were principally from Western New York but as the years passed the invitation list has been widened to include better golfers from around the world.
The East Aurora event is now the oldest International Junior Golf Invitational in North America. A four-day test, it is the first and possibly the only PGA member club-sponsored competition of its type in the entire country. The East Aurora Country Club was particularly well-suited for such a tournament.
In addition to surrendering the use of the club for four days, members of the EACC open their homes to the competing boys who travel long distances to play in the tournament.
In 1965, Gary Player gave a generous cash gift to the U.S.G.A. for the encouragement of junior golf in America. The East Aurora Junior Invitational Committee sought the privilege of being the first to acknowledge Mr. Player’s goodwill with a tribute to him in the form of the Gary Player Cup, awarded annually, in his honor, to the tournament Medalist.
In 1996 the Mexican Golf Federation extended an invitation to field a team to represent the International Junior Masters in the first International edition of the Mexican National Juvenile Tournament.
In recent years the Selection Committee has tried to acquire the top caliber players from as wide a geographic area as possible. We are striving toward a worldwide showcase junior field that will create the highest level of competition. Handicaps of zero to four now represent 95% of the field. Qualifying scores for the Championship Flight have been lower each year.
The International Junior Masters is a unique combination of both medal play and match play, bringing together junior golfers from all over the world. It is the oldest international junior golf invitational in North America.
