We might be known for our ski slopes and bike trails, but the greens of Whistler should not be overlooked.
Whistler has four championship golf courses from four of the world’s top designers, and three of them are within putting distance of each other. Pair that with stunning mountain views, comfortable temperatures and the proximity to other activity choices and epic dining and après, and you can understand why it’s been voted the #1 place to golf in Canada.
Whistler Golf Club, designed by Arnold Palmer, is a par 71, 6,722-yard course. Nicklaus North Golf Course, as the name suggests, was designed by Jack Nicklaus and is a par 71, 6,961-yard course. Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and is a par 72, 6,636-yard course and the farthest afield option is Big Sky Golf Course, located in Pemberton, a twenty-minute drive north from Whistler Village. It was designed by Robert Cupp and is a par 72, 7,001-yard course. Each course has its own allure and unique challenges, and it’s worth considering a round at each to really get a feel for Whistler golfing.
As we all learn to adventure differently, Whistler’s golf courses have adjusted their protocols to keep us swinging safely. Here’s what you need to know when you book your tee time.
Whistler Golf Etiquette 2.0
Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club
Each one of Whistler’s golf courses has its own specific regulations and guidelines and you can find the details on their individual websites. The team at Whistler.com also know these new protocols and can talk them through with you if you’re looking to tee off in the mountains.
