DUNCAN, BC - Rated by Golf Digest as one of the "Top 20 Greatest Golf Destinations in the World," Whistler’s four championship courses provide a truly unique mountain golf experience.
 
Each facility here has its own distinct flavour, from the laid-back vibe of the Arnie Palmer-designed Whistler club to the pure 'test of golf' character of Big Sky located only a few minutes north in Pemberton.
While in most cases an Arnold Palmer design would be the flagship among any group of courses, here Palmer has some serious competition. Jack Nicklaus has a signature design course at Nicklaus North, Robert Trent Jones Jr. has defined mountain design at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club and Robert Cupp has fashioned a strategic masterpiece at the base of majestic Mount Currie.
 
The clubs here are very proactive about packaging their courses as a group under the ‘Golf Whistler’ banner, and the big winner is the golfer.It starts with their great value passport aimed at the regional golfer (anyone residing in British Columbia or Washington State). 
 
In a British Columbia Golf newsletter on April 23, Golf Whistler offered some great deals for members.  Click here for a getaway package and here for Sea to Sky Golf Trail package.
