About this course

Nestled at the base of Blackcomb Mountain, the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club offers a mountain golf experience as visually stunning as it is demanding. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., this par-72 course, carved into the rugged alpine terrain, presents a captivating blend of challenge and natural beauty. Opened in 1993, the course exemplifies a modern architectural approach, utilizing the dramatic elevation changes to create memorable, if occasionally exacting, shot values. Expect undulating fairways that reward strategic play and well-placed drives. The course isn’t overly long, but its narrow landing areas and strategically bunkered greens place a premium on controlled approaches. Locals will tell you that playing a fade here is playing it smart. While not a regular stop on major professional tours, the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club has hosted notable regional championships, showcasing its playability and scenic appeal to competitive golfers. The club is well-regarded within British Columbia as a premiere mountain golf experience. The 19th hole buzzes with the stories of rounds past, often accompanied by tales of near misses on the challenging par-3, 8th. Beyond the game, the club's social atmosphere is warm and inviting. The patio, overlooking the course, is always full of golfers reliving their birdies and bogeys in equal measure.
