The course to play!

This course is a true gem. Slightly hidden away in a beautiful interval this course is in excellent condition. Every hole offers a fair challenge with a few tough holes to challenge you down the stretch. There should be nothing about this course you won’t enjoy. First choice in the Qualicum area.

Not worth it.

This course comes with a big reputation. It does not deserve it. First of all, it has too many "target golf" holes. Target golf is an easy way to make a course look like the designer was so smart. In fact it does the opposite. A golf course should be challenging but fair. Some holes on this course are punitive. If those holes were redesigned the course would be much more attractive. There are some very nice holes, and the views are quite remarkable. But the course was in very poor shape. The fairways were awful. You had to use preferred lies. And the greens were poor, and very slow. While I understand it is early in the season, don't charge mid-season rates. Bottom line it isn't that fun to play, and the conditions made it un-enjoyable.

Well Worth the Drive to Pemberton

This course was in tremendous condition. The layout is challenging but fair, and makes you think all the way around. One hole has a creek that crosses it three times! The views on every hole are amazing. It is a joy to play. Of all the courses in the Whistler area, I would rate this second only to NIcklaus North. If you are out that way, definitely play this course.

Best Course In Whistler Area

This is a great course. it is a challenging but very fair course. It is in incredible condition, especially considering that it was early in the season for them. Every hole offers an interesting look and challenge, and the views of the mountains and nature are awesome.This is a course you could play everyday. In addition, there is a great clubhouse and restaurant. Plus you can walk it, which is a huge plus! If you can only play one course play this one!

Interesting course: too expensive for the conditions.

This course offers an interesting and challenging layout. In fact, the last 3 or 4 holes will really make it hard to finish low! The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the clubhouse has an excellent restaurant. However, the conditions when we played were poor. The fairways were average, but many of the greens were in bad shape. Normally I would have expected to see reduced prices offered with those conditions. Still a better price than the more expensive courses, but they need to fix the greens.

Try it out

I have played this course a few times. It was in much better shape on this trip. It has a very interesting layout and some really nice views. It is also cooler as it is in the up country, which is nice if you don't like it too hot. The pace of play was very poor, and we only saw a marshall once, and he did not seem to make any difference. As well, the amenities were poor. However, it is a bit cheaper than many other courses and worth a try. Some of the views are wonderful!

Great Course

This course is like many Maui courses: friendly fairways with great views. The great thing about this course is it combines very good conditions with more reasonable pricing than courses such as those in nearby Wailea. Well worth playing. May make it my sole choice on the next trip to Maui!

No fun to play

This course is a classic example of a great opportunity lost by a designer who tried too hard to make the course some kind of special challenge. While the staff are great and the conditions are very good (although the greens are hard) this course has been designed in a way that makes it, simply put, no fun to play. It is not just challenging, but punitive. Shots that are not near perfect can be penalized significantly. Most greens are very protected and misses by a few yards result in little chance to get up and down. Most fairways are narrow, and often sloped toward the rough. The rough is near impossible: lost balls are very common. This could have been so good. It needs many changes to get there.
