About this course

Garibaldi Springs sits in Squamish, British Columbia, roughly midway between Vancouver and Whistler along the Sea-to-Sky corridor. Designed by Canadian architect Les Furber and opened in the late 1990s, the course occupies a dramatic setting beneath the coastal mountains, with views toward the Stawamus Chief granite monolith and the surrounding peaks that define this part of the province. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and the forested, rocky terrain characteristic of the region, incorporating stands of cedar and fir alongside creeks and wetland areas that thread through the property. Furber's design emphasizes strategic variety over length, with holes that move through varied topography and require thoughtful club selection and course management. The layout features several holes where water comes into play, and the mountain backdrop provides a distinctive visual character throughout the round. Conditioning and playability reflect the temperate coastal climate, with the course typically open year-round when weather permits. Garibaldi Springs serves both local members and visitors traveling the corridor between the Lower Mainland and Whistler. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that takes advantage of the mountain views. The course represents one of the few full-length golf options in the Squamish area, offering a mountain golf experience that contrasts with the flatter, parkland layouts closer to Vancouver.

Getting there

The journey to Garibaldi Springs Golf Club begins at Vancouver International Airport (YVR), roughly an hour's drive north through the Lower Mainland before the landscape transforms dramatically as you enter the Sea-to-Sky corridor - a winding highway that climbs away from the coastal plain toward the peaks of the Coast Mountains. The final thirty minutes trace a route through increasingly rugged terrain, where dense temperate rainforest and granite cliffs frame your approach to Squamish, a mountain town that serves as the gateway to this alpine sanctuary. Private aviation options at Squamish Airport (YSQ) offer a more discreet arrival for those seeking to bypass Vancouver entirely, landing mere minutes from the club's entrance. The last stretch delivers you through forested foothills to Garibaldi Springs, where the dramatic backdrop of the surrounding peaks announces your arrival at one of British Columbia's most geographically commanding golf destinations.
