  • Signature Holes At Whistler’s Golf Courses

    Just Take A Look At The Big Sky Golf Club To See What We Mean About Stunning Locales - PHOTO CHAD CHOMLACK

    Written by Whistler.com’s golf specialist, Jason McClean.

    Although no hole is an island, sometimes one stands out. Maybe because of its jaw-dropping scenery, the need for a strategy before you swing and something memorable about it that stays with you well after you’ve left the green.

    In Whistler, the task of picking a signature hole must have been quite hard for the golf courses given the dramatic mountain scenery, pristine glacier-fed lakes and the odd bear wandering majestically across their lawns. That’s why we asked them to tell us about their signature holes and personal favourites.

    British Columbia golf resorts that rely heavily on tourist traffic are hoping the provincial government will soon give the all-clear for non-essential travel.

    “The golf course is in great shape, the bears are running around like crazy,” says Alan Kristmanson, the longtime general manager and director of golf at Whistler Golf Club. “Everybody who is playing here is having a great time. We’re ready, for sure.”

  • Furry Creek Redux - Michael Geller's Blog

    A Drawing Prepared In 1990 To Illustrate How The Completed Community At Furry Creek Might Appear One Day

    By Michael Geller (Reprinted with permission)

    "How would you like to design Carmel North?" This was the question posed by a real estate agent at Colliers International late one Friday afternoon in 1990.

    The next day, he introduced me to representatives of Tanabe Corporation of Japan, who retained my planning and real estate consulting firm to carry out a Due Diligence study for approximately 1,000 acres of land along the Sea-to-Sky Corridor at Furry Creek.

    We were given just two weeks to assess the feasibility of accommodating a new golf course, 1000 housing units, a marina and a resort. At the time, all I could think of was Terry Jacks and the Save the Howe Sound Society; and having just come off a dramatic highly publicized failure trying to rezone the 753 acre Spetifore Lands, I did not want to be associated with another high profile failure.

  • Spectacular Golf Along the Sea to Sky

    Whistler Golf Courses

    The mountain-surrounded Olympic host village of Whistler, two hours north of Vancouver, is not only North America’s most renowned ski resort, it is also a well-known marvel within the golfing community. The golf courses in this region are quite simply spectacular and a Whistler golf vacation is the dream of many a golfer.

    Whistler actually hosts more visitors in summer than winter - a fact which in no small part is due to a number of award-winning golf courses designed by internationally-renowned architects and players, including Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones Jr., Arnold Palmer and Robert Cupp.

    When a golf course, such as Big Sky Golf & CC in Pemberton, B.C., receives the accolades it has in the recent past, it’s easy to sit back and live on one’s charm.

    That, though, isn’t the way the operation runs at this scenic track in the Pemberton Valley.
