Whistler and its surrounding area are home to 5 stunning golf courses, all very unique and extraordinary in their own light.
Nicklaus North
Nicklaus North is located just north of Whistler village. This par 71, 18 hole course was designed by none other than Jack Nicklaus himself. The Golden Bear has only completed three signature designs in Canada and this is one of them. The golf course itself winds along a gentle valley floor offering amazing views while still putting your golf skills to the test. Nicklaus North has a number of accolades under its belt since it opened its doors in 1996, and has been placed in the top #30 Best Public Courses in Canada.
Fairmont Chateau
Out of all of the courses located in Whistler this is mountain golf at its finest. Carved right into the mountain Fairmont Chateau has loads of elevated tees, wildlife, incredible vistas and a handful of nerve racking approach shots. This Robert Trent Jones design course traverses across creeks, ponds, stands of ancient Douglas fir and granite rock.

Whistler Golf Course
The Whistler Golf Course is located right in the centre of the village walking distance from the Crystal Lodge. This was Arnold Palmer’s first Canadian design and is home to a truly Whistler brand of golf. They pride themselves on a friendly, relaxed golf environment while still maintaining uncompromising course conditions coupled with a spectacular view of the surrounding snow capped mountains. They received the #5 Public/ Resort course in BC from the Vancouver Sun.

This Robert Cupp design is a links style course that sits beneath 8,000 foot Mount Currie.
