WhistlerPar 72May to October

Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.

Carved into the base of Blackcomb Mountain, this is one of Canada's most celebrated mountain golf experiences.

The views of Whistler and Blackcomb are extraordinary from the upper fairways.

  • โœ“Dramatic mountain and glacier views on every hole
  • โœ“Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.
  • โœ“Challenging elevation changes and natural creek crossings

The course plays through coulees, over ridges, and along cliff edges, with the turquoise waters of Kamloops Lake visible from nearly every hole. Consistently ranked among Golf Digest's top courses in Canada.

Before You Tee Off

Best season

July and August are peak season across BC. Coastal courses (Victoria, Vancouver) are playable year-round. Mountain and interior courses run May to October.

Weather varies by region

The Okanagan is hot and dry in summer โ€” ideal golf weather. Whistler and the coast can see rain. Always check the forecast and pack a light waterproof layer.

Stay nearby

Many BC golf destinations have great independent motels nearby. Staying local means early tee times, no long drives, and more time on the course.

Watch for wildlife

BC golf courses are genuine wilderness settings. Deer, elk, bears, and eagles are common. Keep your distance and enjoy the encounter โ€” it's part of the experience.
