Course Description

This is the setting that inspired the great Jack Nicklaus to create a course as unique as himself. This par 71, 18-hole course winds along a gentle valley floor offering you a spectacular setting as your golfing skills are tested to the fullest. Winner of numerous awards since its opening in 1996, Nicklaus North has played host to events such as the Skins Game and the Shell's Wonderful World of Golf, welcoming some of golf's biggest names such as Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, Ernie Els, Greg Norman, Fred Couples, John Daly, Vijay Singh and Stephen Ames to name a few. Just minutes from the resort village of Whistler, British Columbia, Nicklaus North stands out as one of the great courses in North America. It's no wonder this is only one of a few rare golf courses in the world bearing Jack Nicklaus'​ name. The joys of Nicklaus North don't end on the golf course. The charming and beautifully appointed Clubhouse at Nicklaus North is a modern-day mountain lodge equipped with all the amenities for your golf getaway, special event or wedding reception. Just minutes from Whistler and a scenic highway drive from downtown Vancouver, the Clubhouse is a perfect complement to a golf course bearing the Nicklaus name. Browse the Golf Shop, savour fine dining at the Table Nineteen Restaurant, or soak in the breathtaking alpine setting with a cocktail on the patio overlooking glacier fed Green Lake.
