The four award-winning golf courses in the Whistler area were designed by internationally renowned architects and players Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones Jr., Arnold Palmer and Robert Cupp.
These golf courses take full advantage of the rugged mountain surroundings, and make Whistler a destination renowned for both spectacular scenery and challenging play.
In fact, three of Whistler's four golf courses were listed among SCOREGolf magazine's Top 100 Golf Courses in Canada (2010) and Top 10 British Columbia's Best Public Golf Courses (2009) lists.
Vancouver (south of Whistler) and the surrounding Vancouver, Coast & Mountains region are also home to more great golf courses.
