Play Where the Pros Stay: Golf at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club

Jack Nicklaus, Vijay Singh, John Daly and Stephen Ames called it home during the 2005 Telus Canadian Skins Game. The Fairmont Chateau Whistler offers guests the same thrill of world-renowned golfing, four-diamond dining, and luxurious accommodations. The Golf Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., is nestled at the foot of Blackcomb and Whistler Mountains with a spectacular mountain backdrop. The par 72, 18-hole course has accumulated its share of awards: four and a half stars from Golf Digest, rated the number one Golf Resort Hotel in Canada by readers of Conde Nast Traveler magazine, rated one in Golf Resort Canada, and Links Magazine calls the course "mountain golf at its finest." This dramatic course was carved from the slopes, overlooking rugged terrain of creeks, ponds, and pockets of Douglas fir, and with elevation changes of more than 400 feet. Notably, the on-site Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club is home to Canada's only David Leadbetter Golf Academy.

Stay midweek and the savings are considerable: starting at $149 CAD per person, per night, based on double occupancy for stays on Sunday through Thursday.
