Hmmmmm 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 4, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Beginner/intermediate course. Most baskets readily seen from the box. Beautiful area. Courteous locals. 27 holes. Short holes (if you like this).

Cons:

Short holes -- mids and occasionally a fairway driver is all that is needed. Bad signage to find course from parking lot. Tall shrubbery on powerline fairways (can lose sight of errant shots). Pars plentiful, birds not uncommon, ace runs doable (I had one on #22).

Other Thoughts:

Best course in the area, but not anything I'd drive 500 miles (or even 50) to visit. Quite disappointed in the difficulty level -- I play most "reasonable" 18-hole courses at 9-16 over, but I was getting birds regularly. I played holes 20-27 and 1-10 (bad signage got me lost and I finally found the course at #20), playing 2 discs (2 games at once)....I was at -5 and +3 with 11 birds and one ace over the total 36 holes thrown. Good for my ego but I know I am not that proficient! Drivers were not needed. Very fun and good for beginners, short game lovers, or those hoping to get a below par game!

Not the best in BC 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 15, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

As other folks have mentioned, Whistler is very scenic. On the way to the course, I came face to face with a black bear. Definitely increased my heart rate (I was alone).

There are 27 holes, which is a benefit. There are several types of shots, uphills and downhills, although most of them are short and technical. Given the dense woods, there's not really an opportunity to create big bomber holes.

Hole 16, perched on a rocky outcrop, is a killer little hole.

Cons:

It was not easy to find, but folks were very helpful.

The power lines detract from the scenery. It was also crowded when I went, but that's not always a bad thing. Folks helped me find the next hole etc. and it was indicative of disc golf's growth in the area.

The area was heavily abused by people--numerous signs of erosion and damage to vegetation.

On a couple of holes it was tough to figure out where to tee from--there are multiple tee pads and even some "local" tees.

Be sure to bring lots of bug spray if you're one of the people that is bitten by flying things...

Other Thoughts:

I've played several courses in BC and this is not even in the top 5. While Whistler is a killer vacation spot, this course has seen better days and is somewhat limited due to the forest.

Having played both Kamloops courses and Clearwater, I'd put them way in front of this one. But if you're in Whistler, this is a good way to get your disc golf fix in.
