Whistler’s reputation as one of the world’s great winter destinations continues to grow, especially with the IOC’s announcement that the city will play host to the Olympic Games in 2010. The two faces of this world-class ski destination, Whistler and Blackcomb, have long drawn tourists from across the globe to the serene beauty and luxury of this archetype mountain playground. But when the snow melted each spring, it seemed to take the tourists along with it, so much of the last 15 years has been spent establishing the town as a world-class four-season village. The golf accolades are now rolling in, and the tourist dollars are following on its heels. Inspired by the Arnold Palmer-designed Whistler Golf Club, three new courses have sprung up in the region, each of which has found a place in Score magazine’s biannual rankings of the Top 100 courses in the country. Recent inclusions in Conde Nast Traveler and Golf Digest’s top 50 world golf destinations is evidence enough that the spring thaw is no longer the end to the season; it’s the beginning of a new one.

A golf vacation in Whistler will take you to three premier courses in the area; the Bob Cupp-designed Big Sky Golf Club, the Golden Bear’s Nicklaus North Golf Course, and the Robert Trent Jones Jr. mountain masterpiece, the Chateau Whistler Golf Club. All within minutes of the bustling Whistler village center, the luxury of having the designs of Nicklaus, Cupp, and Trent Jones Jr. is such a confined and visually stunning space is a recipe for a wonderful golf vacation. Whistler village can best be described as eclectic and lively. With 93 bars and restaurants to go along with 207 shops, the post-golf experience is tremendously varied. The cobblestone downtown streets are constantly alive with street entertainment, from comedians to cultural groups and musicians from June through September.
