CLAYTON HILLS GOLF COURSE

9 Hole Par 3
Community Golf Course

Welcome to Clayton Hills Golf – A Revamped Classic Since 1984

Formerly known as Sunrise Golf, Clayton Hills Golf has been a trusted community favorite since 1983. Now entering a new era, we’ve refreshed our identity and upgraded the experience — while staying true to our roots as a welcoming, accessible space for all golfers.

Our 9-Hole Par 3 course with hole ranging from 60-175 yards is designed for players of all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re new to the game, sharpening your short game, or just looking for a casual round with friends or family, Clayton Hills offers the perfect blend of fun and challenge.

Thanks to exciting new partnerships with LABsters, and the launch of our brand-new Backyard Chip n Putt facility, we’re expanding what golf means in our community — blending tradition with innovation, and adding a playful twist to the game.

At Clayton Hills Par 3 Golf course, it’s not just about the score — it’s about the environment.

Come play, practice, and be part of the next chapter.

Meet Matt Palsenbarg

As a local who grew up in Cloverdale, the Clayton Hills Par 3 (previously known as Sunrise) was one of the first courses Matt Palsenbarg played as a kid. He didn’t love golf right away, but he grew to love the game at a young age.

Matt has been coaching golf for over 20 years and is known for having the answers. He spent much of his career at Northview Golf & Country Club, where he served as Director of Instruction for 15 years. During his time there, he started the Tour Performance LAB elite junior program and founded LABsters, a popular junior golf initiative for kids ages 4–12.

In 2020, Matt became the Director of Instruction at Point Grey Golf & Country Club in Vancouver, where he helped launch their state-of-the-art practice facility, The Farm. While he was also owner of Langley Golf Academy and growing the game of golf with LGA and the LABsters.

In 2025, Matt returned closer to home to bring his coaching expertise to the Haus of Golf in Langley, BC, and pursue his vision of opening The Backyard Golf Company. After three summers of LABsters camps at Clayton Hills Par 3, Matt realized the course offered a unique opportunity—a missing piece waiting to be brought to life. Building a facility with junior golfers and new golfers in mind he is really pleased to bring LABsters to a new home.

Now, Matt is excited to be coaching players of all levels at both The Backyard and Haus of Golf. LABsters is poised to grow bigger than ever with a facility built for fun and learning. Whether you’re a kid discovering the game or an adult looking for a great place to hang out and improve, The Backyard and Clayton Hills Par 3 are where golf and community come together.
