A brilliant emerald-coloured lake. Majestic fir trees. Fresh, invigorating mountain air. This is the setting that inspired the great Jack Nicklaus to create a course as unique as himself. This par 71, 18-hole course winds along a gentle valley floor offering you a spectacular setting as your golfing skills are tested to the fullest. Just minutes from cobblestone walkways and street side cafes of the resort town of Whistler, Nicklaus North stands out as one of the great courses in North America. It's no wonder this is only one of a few rare golf courses in the world bearing Jack Nicklaus' name.
It isn't difficult to understand why Arnold Palmer chose Whistler for his first Canadian design. The Whistler Golf Club's 18 sprawling fairways are virtually surrounded by mountains rising up all around them. Unparalleled views of world-renowned Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains greet golfers at every turn. Nine lakes fed by two winding creeks, towering stands of ancient cedar and the course's forested borders offer a spectacular backdrop, as well as a home for black bear, coyote, beaver and an abundance of fish and bird life.
Distinctly different from the other Golf Whistler properties, the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club offers classic "mountain golf at its finest". Carved from the side of Blackcomb Mountain, this Robert Trent Jones Jr. design features an elevation change of over 400 feet and dramatic elevated views of the Whistler valley. Incredible natural features such as exposed rock faces, mountain ledges, wildlife, ravines and waterfalls are the highlights of this Classic mountain gem.
Big Sky Golf & Country Club Whistler
Just 25 minutes north of Whistler lies a golf setting so magnificent it must be experienced to be appreciated. Constructed at the base of the massive, snow-capped Mount Currie in the fertile Pemberton valley, Big Sky Golf and Country Club sets a peaceful and serene stage for an outstanding round of golf. An award-winning design by Robert Cupp, Big Sky features bent grass from tee to green and Ravensdale sand bunkers to provide the finest in golf course conditioning.
The 18-hole, par 72 golf course offers excellent bent grass greens. The front and back nines offer distinct layouts. Locals sometimes refer to the front as the‘warm-up 9’. The front nine offers a challenge with two par 3’s including an island green on the eighth hole. A straight drive is your best friend on the tighter back nine. Get ready for some target golf on the back half of this course. Friendly to casual golfers yet challenging to more serious golfers, the Pemberton Valley Golf & Country Club is well worth the visit. Once you play us you’ll be back for more.
