Chateau Whistler Golf Club, Whistler, British Columbia
If you play each and every one of the courses we feature in Western Canada, your choice for favorite one might surprise you once you return home. Though many are more well-known, Chateau Whistler Golf Club may just be the one that you want most to play again on a return trip! This is mountain golf at its absolute finest. Chateau Whistler features all of the exhilarating elevation changes that you hope to encounter—uphill on 3 to a green perched high above a rushing glacial stream with ice-cold waters. Downhill on 10, a flick wedge with the ball hanging forever above distant green lake. There are many similar shots both in between and after and the great thing is not once are you playing “billy goat” golf. Rather, Chateau Whistler is Championship golf in caliber every step of the way. Chateau Whistler is also the region’s only course that actually plays in the mountains, with dramatic views of the Whistler Valley. Bear and deer roam the course and the peaks of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains set a stunning backdrop. If you are going to play a course twice on your visit, this is the one!
