On the Course at 253 171st Street: A Quiet Golf Course Townhome Community in Pacific Douglas
Tucked into the Summerfield residential pocket of South Surrey, On the Course is a boutique townhouse community of just 22 units, built in 2014 by Dawson + Sawyer. Backing directly onto the Peace Portal Golf Course, it offers something that's increasingly hard to find in this part of the Lower Mainland: low-density living with genuine green space on your doorstep. If you're exploring the Pacific Douglas neighbourhood, this is a building worth knowing.

About the Building
- Address: 253 171st Street, South Surrey
- Year built: 2014
- Total units: 22
- Type: Townhouse
- Neighbourhood: Pacific Douglas (Summerfield)
On the Course is one of two townhouse developments that back onto the Peace Portal Golf Course. With only 22 homes in the complex, the community feels private and settled rather than sprawling, and the mature trees and open fairway views set it apart from the denser townhouse projects found along the King George corridor.
Interior Finishes and Layout
Dawson + Sawyer put real thought into the interiors, and it shows in the details buyers tend to care most about:
- Stone counters throughout — a step up from the laminate or basic quartz often seen in townhomes of this era
- KitchenAid stainless steel appliances paired with a gas range, a feature home cooks appreciate
- Entertainment-sized, well-appointed kitchens designed for hosting rather than just meal prep
- Double sinks in the ensuite bathroom, a convenience that's often reserved for larger, pricier homes
- Space-conscious design that aims to make every square foot usable
For buyers coming from a condo, these townhomes offer the step up in space and privacy without the maintenance load of a detached home.
The Location Advantage
The Summerfield neighbourhood is residential and quiet, but On the Course isn't isolated. You're minutes from Highway 99, which makes commuting to Vancouver, Richmond or the Langley corridor straightforward. Local shopping and restaurants are close by, and the US border crossing is a short drive, a real plus for cross-border shoppers and frequent travellers. The beaches, promenade and cafes of White Rock are also within easy reach.
It's a good example of what makes Pacific Douglas appealing: a central South Surrey position that balances quiet residential streets with quick access to everything else.
How On the Course Fits the Pacific Douglas Market
Pacific Douglas currently has around 76 active listings with an average price near $1.83 million, a figure pulled up by the area's larger detached homes. Townhomes like those at On the Course typically offer a more accessible entry point into the neighbourhood, particularly compared with neighbouring luxury-leaning areas such as Elgin Chantrell (average around $3.15 million) or Morgan Creek (average around $1.97 million).
For context on where townhomes sit across the region, the King George Corridor averages roughly $984K across its listings, while Grandview Surrey averages around $1.64 million. A golf-course-backing townhome with premium finishes occupies a distinct niche between those markets.
Who Is On the Course a Good Fit For?
- Downsizers who want low-maintenance living without giving up space or green views
- Move-up condo buyers seeking more room, a gas kitchen and a quieter setting
- Golf enthusiasts who want to live beside Peace Portal Golf Course
- Families wanting a townhome in a calm, established neighbourhood close to Hwy 99
Tips for Buying at On the Course
- Request the strata documents early. With only 22 units, the financial health of the strata, the contingency fund and any planned maintenance matter a great deal.
- Compare unit positions. Homes with direct golf course exposure and greenery tend to be the most sought after.
- Check for recent sales. Because the building is small, listings come up infrequently, so be ready to move when one appears.
