Furry Creek Golf & Country Club, Squamish, British Columbia

There are mountain courses, some more impressive than others with huge elevation changes and snow-capped peaks. Then there are ocean courses, with jaw-dropping par-3s along the coast to greens perched right on the rocks and crashing waves. But there only one mountain/ocean course that we know of on Earth. Furry Creek, on the scenic highway connecting Whistler with Vancouver. Located on Howe Sound, an inlet of the salty Atlantic and a haven for divers, it is also pure mountain golf with the snowy, rocky peaks towering on every side. It makes for an incomparable setting, with some of the more unusual mountain holes you will ever play. Then there’s the 14th green along the shore, one for the cameras and a par-3 you will remember forever. Furry Creek is recognized as the most scenic course in a region full of some of the most scenic golf courses in Canada and the world. Perhaps not pure championship golf, but perfect for those that want to experience the best scenery Western Canada has to offer!
