Thumbs up Whistler, Canada

Whistler has some of Canada's top courses within 45min drive. All the courses feature spectacular views of the mountains.

Here are some of the courses in the area worth checking out

Nicklaus North Golf Club
The Whistler Golf Club
The Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club
Big Sky Country Golf Club
Furry Creek Golf Club

I've heard Big Sky wasnt anything special and definately wasnt worth the money, and have heard nothing but amazing things about Furry Creek (drive by it everytime i went to whistler, i want to play there so bad, hopefully this summer), Nicklaus North and Chateau Whistler.

Have never even heard of WGC, is that private?

Welcome to ST franzman, Im from in the lower mainland area, whereabouts you from?


(for the record, skiing wise, whistler is the most overrated place in the world)

Yup, only time i go there is when it's free.

I have a couple friend who go to "nice schools" and their families have places up there, so once in awhile with them, and then with my family, my sister being a FIS racer she gets an "All Access" pass, which gets her free lift tickets in almost all of Canada, and becuz my dad's work with bc alpine he gets free passes most places too (helps from bringing her to races and such).

Hell like im paying to ski at Whistler, if you want great skiing in BC, go into the interior and ski at Big White, Silverstar and go up to Red Mountain and Kicking Horse.

Haha, diverted from the start of the thread much?

King Par is an unknown quantity at this point
I loved Jasper's course, as far as courses near mountains are concerned. If anything could top that couse, I'd REALLY like to know which one.
