Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club

Another impressive Club Championship weekend is in the books at Shaughnessy.

The 2026 Club Championships brought together exceptional golf, fierce competition, and plenty of camaraderie.

Congratulations to our 2026 Club Champions and to all of the finalists who competed.

Thank you to everyone who came out to cheer on the players and be part of the action. Your support and enthusiasm helped create a memorable atmosphere around the Club.

A special thank you as well to our Course & Grounds crew for having the course in pristine condition, and to all of the staff and volunteers who worked behind the scenes to make the Championships possible.

Fifteen years ago today, Shaughnessy hosted the 2011 RBC Canadian Open. Coinciding with the club's centennial anniversary, the championship tested the field on our classic A.V. Macan layout.

Our course provided one of the toughest scoring tests on the PGA Tour that season. The layout left a lasting impression on the field, with tour player Robert Garrigus remarking during the tournament that, "If you miss the fairway by six inches, you are in deep trouble."

Sean O'Hair went on to capture the title in a playoff with a winning score of just four-under par. The week was also highlighted by local favourite Adam Hadwin, who entered the final round just one shot off the lead before finishing tied for fourth.

One of the most anticipated transformations at the club just wrapped up: our cactus garden behind the clubhouse is back and looking spectacular!

The process took a full week from start to finish. Every cactus and succulent that spent the winter tucked away in our greenhouse was carefully moved out and repositioned, piece by piece, until the garden was completely filled in.
This year's design features over a dozen varieties of cactus and succulents, plus nearly 1,600 individual Alternanthera plants filling in the border and gaps.

Throughout the season, you'll see the Alternanthera border kept crisp and manicured to frame the garden beautifully, while the plants toward the back are being left to grow freely, they'll be used as cutting stock this fall.

Canada Day has long marked the unofficial start of summer at Shaughnessy, and this year's celebration was another memorable one. 660 members and guests came together for the Annual Canada Day Pancake Breakfast, making it one of the Club's largest and most successful events to date. Thanks to the generosity of those who registered, we also raised $6,600 in meaningful funds for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, with all registration fees collected going directly to support an important cause. Thank you to everyone who attended, and to our Board of Directors, volunteers, and staff who helped make the morning such a success.

On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we honour the cultures, identities, and contributions of the Indigenous Peoples of this land. We acknowledge with respect and gratitude that Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club is located on the traditional and ancestral territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people.

On April 15th, eight staff members of our culinary team developed and presented their own signature chicken burger at the inaugural Burger War. It was a great opportunity to showcase individual style, encourage collaboration, and bring some fun, competitive spirit into the kitchen. Five judges voted for the best burger, and the winner’s burger from the competition is being offered to members as one of the May features.
