In 1879, the McCleery Brothers began to clear the wilderness between the Bluff and the north arm of the Fraser River for a dairy farm. The farm prospered for 40 years. In 1919, the property was sold to William Murdoch McKenzie who, in turn, sold it to Dr. Brett Anderson and A.E. Philp for use as a golf course. The original farm buildings became the Clubhouse, storage buildings became the locker rooms and Marine Drive Golf Club was born. For over 85 years, the Members of Marine Drive have set standards of excellence. An ideally situated and mature course, Marine Drive has been the home of many champions including Stan Leonard, the Club s long-time honorary professional. Other notables include John Johnston, Richard Zokol, Marilyn Palmer O Connor, Barbara Renwick, Jim Nelford and four-time Canadian Champion, Doug Roxburgh. While the players at Marine Drive have received much acclaim, so too, has the course itself. At just over 6,300 yards from the blue tees, it is certainly known for its difficulty as opposed to its length, but at par 71, many players will tell you it plays longer than expected. It has certainly earned the respect of many a fine player as well as many of golf s top pundits. Lorne Rubenstein, renowned golf writer for The Globe & Mail, rated Marine Drive one of the ten best classic courses in Canada in March 1999. Score Magazine rated Marine in its top 50 and, in a survey rating Canada s toughest holes, our infamous 17th ranked 9th. So as you step onto the first tee of Marine Drive, whether it is for a Club Championship, the Marine Drive Amateur or even a friendly foursome, be reminded of the fine history of the Club, the Founders, the Legends, the Builders and the Winners - all of them Champions.
