You
may think a vacation in Whistler means
having to do nothing but ski. Not true.
You can partake in a vast number of activities and
even tailor your holiday towards one
just activity. So if you want to have
a golf vacation in Whistler -you can!
Summers
in Whistler have become a golfers
paradise and is highly regarded
as a golf vacation spot. There
are four courses to choose from
-the Arnold Palmer designed Whistler
Golf Course, the Jack Nicklaus
designed Nicklaus North, the Fairmont
Chateau Whistler course, and Big
Sky.
Picture
this: on the 17th hole at
Nicklaus North you can make your putt
just steps away from the twinkling
glacier water of Green Lake. Behind
you Blackcomb Mountain stands majestic
-crisp white snow still sparkles on
its peak. A cloudless blue sky hangs
above. The greens are lush, the course
groomed to perfection. In the early
morning a lone black bear crosses the
fairway, pausing mid way for a long
sniff of the pristine air. And you
sink your putt!
After the golf game there is time
to explore Whistler Village and all
it has to offer. Some of the best restaurants,
nightclubs/ pubs, and unique souvenir
shops line the streets. This vacation
is all about enjoying your time in
resort. A
golfing vacation doesn’t
get much better than that and Whistler
Premier Resort Accommodations can
help you find the perfect rental
lodging for your holiday.
Whistler’s courses are gaining
a reputation as some of the best courses
in North America. In August 2005, Whistler
was host to the Skins Game with John
Daly, Vijay Singh, Jack Nicklaus, and
Canadian Stephen Ames. Hundreds came
to see the golf greats battle it out
over two days on the Nicklaus North
course… this event was the last
North American tournament for Nicklaus.
It shows
just how this little ski town has ‘grown up’ to
now being regarded as a top, year
round vacation holiday destination
hot spot with great golf courses. Don’t
let Whistler’s reputation fool
you. This is not just a place for
skiers and snowboarders. It’s
a golfers paradise too.
