Nicklaus North Golf Course, Whistler, British Columbia
Semi-private Nicklaus North was opened by the great man in 1996 and is the most well-known of the superb Whistler golfing venues. Set in Whistler Valley alongside ice-cold Green Lake, the towering, snow-capped rocky mountains surround the course on every side yet the course is not a difficult walk. It is top-level, championship golf and a multiple host of the popular Canadian Skins Game. The highlight is undoubtedly the 17th—signature hole at Nicklaus North with the green jutting out into Green Lake. You won’t want to play barefoot out of these icy glacial waters should your ball come to rest on the edge! Just minutes from the course is the wonderful Whistler Village with its cobblestone streets, many pubs and cafes, wonderful dining, and one-of-a-kind atmosphere and spirit. Once you visit Whistler, there is no doubt you will not want to leave!
