SUMMARY

If you are looking for a Canadian Golf adventure look no further than Whistler and the stunning Nicklaus North golf course which opened in 1996 to instant critical acclaim.  Jack Nicklaus-designed and inspired this masterpiece that will provide golfers with the quintessential Canadian golf experience.   Expect to see lots of Mountains, amazing elevation changes, Augusta-Esque Golf course conditions, Awe-inspiring Scenery, and even some authentic Canadian bears. Nicklaus has now been the course architect to over 150 courses throughout the world but Nicklaus North is one of only 5 courses allowed to use the Golden Bear’s Prestigous name.

Whistler is already blessed with some incredible golf with the highly-rated Big Sky and Fairmont Chateau courses right on your doorstep.  However, Nicklaus North takes your golf experience to a  whole new level with its superb conditions, stunning panoramic views of majestic snow-capped mountains, Huge fir trees, and glistening lakes.

As you truly experience the very best of Canuck nature.  Your senses are likely to be overwhelmed by the serenity of Whistler. Expect refreshing mountain air, stunning views, and an eerie silence which all combine to make this the perfect golf getaway.  Also, don’t forget about the abundance of Canadian wildlife, did I mention real bears? in this beautiful part of the world.

The Nicklaus North Golf and Country Club course is situated in Whistler Valley, just five minutes from the Whistler Resort in British Columbia. It is located in a spectacular setting only a two-hour drive north of Vancouver. Driving away from the city to Whistler is a wonderful experience in itself as the route takes you through the huge Mountain ranges and incredible scenery to your stunning destination.

The Nicklaus North course is fun to play with risk and reward possibilities on almost every tee. In traditional Nicklaus fashion, the course has generous landing areas on the fairway. Short hitters who keep it on the short stuff will find themself’s with long approaches into well-protected large greens. The green sizes are generous and putts roll fast and true.   Bigger Hitters will have the option to take the Vegas or Bust route over the water and or fairway bunkers to leave a short club into the green.  Typical of Nicklaus golf courses you will have a lot of fun but you will need to hit the correct shot in order to score.

Nicklaus North is walkable thanks to seamless routing and superb conditions.  The course lies at the bottom of the Mountain as is surprisingly flat.  Remember your camera for the scenic views and bird sanctuary that borders the course.
