Douglas Firs and surrounded by the West Coast's idyllic landscape, Sandpiper Golf Course is a beautiful 18-hole golf course. But this great golf course is just part of the attraction of this boutique style resort named for the property's family who have owned the property as part of a tale traces back to the 1800s. Todayy Pretty Estates Resort is home to Rowena's Inn on the River, Sandpiper Golf Course and River's Edge Restaurant. The cornerstone of the resort is an English manor, once the Pretty's family home, that has been converted into a grand B&B blending old-world opulence with new-world convenience. The manor is also home to the River's Edge Restaurant. With innovative west coast fare and a waterfront view, River's Edge is the Fraser Valley's preferred destination restaurant. This may be because Fraser Valley is heaven for those passionate about the calibre of ingredients.The fertile grounds of local farms and vineyards produce stunning flavours, colours and scents. Chef Jonathan delights in preparing these ingredients with a fresh approach, and pairs some of BC's finest VQA wines. Whether it's for breakfast, lunch, dinner or tapas & cocktails, River's Edge is open from 8am to 9pm seven days a week. THE 8TH ON FIRECLIFF Sandpiper Golf Course is heralded as one of British Columbia's leading courses. Framed by the rugged backdrop of the Cheam Mountains, Sandpiper Golf Course is 'forest golfing' at its finest with abundant wildlife in two distinctly different environments — the open fairways alongside the turquoise waters of the Harrison River and the quiet serenity amongst the ancient 180 ft. Douglas Firs. Sandpiper has a number of great staycation options but the most talkedabout would have to be the "Hook, Line, and Sink It" where you get 6 hours of guided sturgeon fishing, 18 holes of golf with shared power cart, lunch or dinner. The guide will pick you up at the Sandpiper boat launch, in their full-sized jet boats, and entertain you for half a day while you are surrounded by nature and scrappy fish. Continue to spend the rest of your day teeing off. This amazing "fish tale" is suitable for groups from 4 to 144, packages start at $239/person (excluding taxes). If you want you canadd accommodations at Rowena's Inn on the River or at Harrison Hot Springs Resort. 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. Heralded as one of British Columbia's best resort courses, renowned for its adventure packages, and, consecutively, voted by the province as the #1 golf course in the Fraser Valley. Sandpiper is situated along the turquoise waters of the Harrison River. Canadian course designer Russ Olsen has done a masterful job of taking advantage of the spectacular water and mountain vistas when designing this masterpiece. While there are a number of outstanding holes, the signature hole is 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. If fly fishing is more your style, Sandpiper has teamed up with a prestige flyfishing guide to offer you a truly unique combination of two classic sports.
