Nicklaus North Golf Course in Whistler

Nicklaus North Golf Course

Designed by Jack Nicklaus in 1995

When Jack Nicklaus returned to his signature course for the 1997 Skins game, he remarked on its uniquely stunning setting. Ringed by glaciated mountains, nestled between the River of Golden Dreams and Green Lake, his par 71, 6,908 yard long-ball delight again hosted Nicklaus and a Skins tournament in 2005 - the first repeat for any course in the history of the event.

Nicklaus North offers five sets of tees to give every level of golfer an ideal sense of challenge and enjoyment. Designed with an awareness and sensitivity towards the area's natural habitat and nestled between Green Lake and the River of Golden Dreams, Nicklaus North features impressive glacial mountain views and would be a wonder to just wander and gaze around, let alone challenge your golfing skills. And challenge your skills it certainly does, with distinctive Nicklaus bunkering. Nicklaus North is only the second Canadian course designed by Jack Nicklaus and, of the 150 courses he's designed worldwide, this is the only course to which Jack has been compelled to add his name.

The full-length driving range features grass tees and six target greens, perfect for improving shots of any length. A full-size chipping and putting green as well as a practice bunker to cover every aspect of the short game are also available.
