Whistler Canada Golf Courses
Whistler is fast becoming one of the golf meccas
of the world. With seven course in the Whistler
valley and three in Whistler itself, it is perfect
for both the avid and the occasional golfer. Golf
Digest Magazine recently voted Whistler one of
the ‘Top 20 Golf Destinations in the World’.
Fred Couples was recently quoted in a Sports Illustrated
article as saying “Whistler – the
greatest place I’ve been to play golf”.
Whistler Golf Club
Chosen by Arnold Palmer as the site for his first
Canadian design, the Whistler Golf Club is where
golf and Whistler first came together. A recent
major renovation has restored this 18-hole, par-72,
6676-yard course to its original splendour. Overlooking
both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, it features
nine lakes, two winding creeks and rolling greens.
Chateau Whistler Golf Club
Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., this course
has become internationally recognised as ‘Mountain
golf at its finest. With an elevation gain of
more than 400 feet, the course traverses mountain
ledges, crosses rushing streams and has spectacular
views of both mountains. Chateau Whistler Golf
Club is a member of ‘Great Golf Resorts
of the World’ and has also been awarded
the coveted ‘Gold Medal Award’ by
GOLF Magazine. Conde Nast Traveler rated it the
13th best Golf Resort in North America, Caribbean
and Mexico and recently SCOREGolf Magazine rated
it as the ‘Best Resort Course in Canada’.
Nicklaus North Golf Course
Minutes from the bustling centre of Whistler
village, this Jack Nicklaus “Signature Design”
is built to the highest specifications using the
latest in golf course construction technology.
Nicklaus North is the only golf course in the
world to which Jack has given his name, and was
selected by Golf Digest Magazine as ‘Canada’s
Best New Golf Course’.
