Whistler
Golf
North America’s number one ski resort is quickly gaining
equal fame as a golf resort, with a superb choice of four championship
courses designed by world famous golf course architects such as
Palmer, Trent Jones, Jr., Nicklaus and Cupp. Canada’s Golf
Ranking Magazine rates Whistler as the “Number One Golf Resort
in Canada.” Golf Digest magazine gives it a four-star rating
in “Places to Play” and ranks Whistler in the “Top
20 Golf Destinations in the World.” Score Magazine placed
all Whistler courses in the “Top 100 Courses in Canada”.
In short, Whistler is golf at its best, and most challenging. And
there’s more. The five-star resort experience is complete
with a wide variety of activities from biking and hiking to water
sports, rejuvenating spas, and a charming village alive with unique
shops, gourmet dining and festive entertainment.

Canada’s first design by Arnold Palmer, the Whistler Golf
Club features nine lakes, two winding creeks, lush rolling greens
and magnificent vistas of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. Just
a short walk from the village center, this superb “shot makers”
course— with its risk-reward holes, challenging greens and
wonderful use of natural assets—has the King of Golf’s
signature all over it. The Whistler Golf Club has been rated a “Four
Star Facility” by Golf Digest magazine and is on the annual
list of “America’s 100 Best Golf Shops.” The course
was most recently named in the “Top 100” courses in
Canada by Score magazine and was also voted as one of the “Top
100” golf shops by Golf World Business Magazine.

In a place where superlatives to describe the scenery must be
doled out carefully lest they get used up too quickly, Chateau Whistler
easily earns the term “breathtaking.” This stunning
course, designed by world-famous golf architect Robert Trent Jones,
Jr., was selected as Best New Canadian Course of 1993 by Golf Digest
magazine, and awarded the Gold Medal in 1997 by Golf Magazine. Despite
the scenic ruggedness of the terrain, the artful course design makes
Chateau Whistler eminently playable.

With Mt. Currie towering over the rolling valley, Green River
and wandering creeks of Big Sky, award-winning golf architect Robert
Cupp has designed a course worthy of such a naturally beautiful
setting. Just a 25-minute drive from Whistler Village, Big Sky was
Golf Digest magazine’s runner-up choice for best new Canadian
golf course of 1994.With its 360-degree views, Big Sky more than
lives up to its name.

Legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus says modestly of Nicklaus North,
“The idea was to build a course that people could enjoy.”
From the first hole on, it is clear that’s an understatement.
The conditioning at Nicklaus North reflects the standards set by
Jack Nicklaus himself, so much so he gave the course his name. Voted
“Best New Canadian Course” in 1996 by Golf Digest magazine,
and host of two major televised events, 1997 Canadian Skins Game
and 1998 Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf, gives Nicklaus North
a unique signature of quality.
