Looking at the 1st tee-box of the Whistler Golf Club and you’ll understand why Arnold Palmer chose it as the location for his first Canadian design. Snow-capped peaks surround the course in all directions, ancient cedars and majestic fir trees line the fairways, winding streams, nine lakes and white sand bunkers punctuate perfectly manicured greens and an occasional black bear sauntering across a fairway is not an uncommon site.
The Whistler Golf Club is a par 71, 18-hole, golf course that easily exceeds the expectations of the most discriminating golfer. In 2000 the Whistler Golf Club received an extensive $2.2 million renovation to ensure this 6722-yard course continues its legacy of excellence.
The golf course is just a short par 4 from the hotel I stayed in Whistler, a resort city about 115 km from Vancouver, Canada. I was there for a business function and the organizer arranged a golf tournaments for all the delegates with a participants fee of CAD 170 (RM515) and equipment rental of CAD56(RM170) including lunch. Normal green fees would depend on the tee-time, morning will be CAD129, after 3.00 pm about CAD89 and after 5.00 pm about CAD15 for 5 holes.
So I went to the pro-shop to buy some T-shirts and took some photos of the club and the course,
