Nicklaus North Golf Course

A Jack Nicklaus Signature masterpiece in the Canadian Rockies where glacier-fed lakes, mountain peaks, and championship golf converge in perfect harmony.

About the Course

Just minutes from vibrant Whistler Village, Nicklaus North winds along a gentle valley floor in one of Canada's most stunning mountain settings. Designed by the Golden Bear himself in 1996, this par 71 championship course combines the prestige of bearing Jack Nicklaus' name with accessibility for all skill levels through five sets of tees. The course is impeccably maintained with nearly perfect bent grass greens, fair routing, and strategic bunkering that rewards precision without punishing adventure. Green Lake borders the iconic 16th and 17th holes, where majestic fir trees frame glacier-fed waters and snow-capped peaks frame every view. The course's flat valley layout makes it refreshingly walkable despite the mountain terrain, and it's hosted legendary tournaments including the Skins Game and Shell's Wonderful World of Golf, welcoming golf's greatest names to its fairways.
