Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club was carved from the sloping hillside of the Coast Mountain Range. Robert Trent Jones Jr. deftly designed the course across ravines, creeks, and waterfalls, which accumulates to over 400 feet in dramatic elevation changes. Jones closely followed the natural contours of the rugged terrain, creating a golf course that blends seamlessly into the landscape. It shares a home with an abundance of wildlife as well including deer, black bears, and a variety of indigenous birds. Douglas firs blanket the course along with outcroppings of exposed granite rock. The generous fairways are lined with trees and deep bunkers are strategically placed throughout. One of Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club's most notable holes is the par-3 eighth, which begins at an elevated tee situated 80 feet above the green with a large pond to the left and granite cliffs to the right.

Beautiful Course
Nice course, hilly with some carries to reach the greens. Big, undulating greens. Very scenic. Highly recommend playing when in Whistler
Gorgeous Course
The course was beautiful and challenging, as always. After the heavy rains, it was cart path only on most of the course so even more challenging, but still enjoyable.
Whistler Golf
Definitely not worth the money (over $500 for a twosome). Disappointed with the lack of friendliness from the staff.
The views in the area are fantastic but the course conditions were not what one would expect for the price tag.
Greens were slow and bumpy and fairway grass was fairly long.
Enjoyed it bit it was pokey
Will come back and play it again for sure, especially if I can get a GolfNow deal and have a chance to get around in 4 to 4 and a half hours. This is a very scenic and challenging course with good conditioning, but the problem is that it draws vacationers who want to hit driver on every hole then look for their balls which slows play to a crawl. Not much parking and the driving range is a ways away and it is not exactly cheap. Shoulder season? Will see.
If you are reading this before going out, move up one tee box and hit something to stay in play. You will enjoy it more and so will the groups behind you.
Nice mountain course
직원들이 정말로 친젛하고 교육이 잘 되어있어요. 일찍가서 연습장에서 시원한 무료음료를 마시면서 준비하세요. 럭셔리한 차량으로 셔틀써비스 해줍니다. 페어웨이는 적당히 딱딱하고, 그린은 약간 느린편입니다.
Staff could have been more helpful
It was raining when we arrived
We stood under the awning for about five minutes before staff attended to the clubs, when they finally arrived a large gush of water came off the awning and drenched my back.
In addition mine were the only clubs left out in the open at the back before placing on the cart.
When we asked for towels they said they had none, I couldn’t believe the lack of service at a higher end course.
The course was amazing even in the bad weather but felt the service was extremely poor!
Great venue, poor logistics
Beautiful facilities, but chaotic shuttle to driving range and course maintenence crews driving thru play multiple times on a Sunday didn't fit the quality of the typical Fairmont brand and pricing.
Gorgeous Golf
The first 9 was more challenging but the beautiful scenery was everywhere. Excellent food at the clubhouse.
The green
The condition of the green was good enough for this kind of price.
Best in Whistler
Simply stunning course. Country club quality without the pretentiousness.
Beautiful, challenging, very well kept.
Beautiful course
What a wonderful place. Course is in great shape. Friendly staff. I enjoyed every minute I was on the course. I will return.
Great layout
Great course. Most fairways had burnout or bare spots. Greens were good for the most part. Beautiful place to play. Great staff.
