Really fun course with friendly locals drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 19, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Lots of really unique holes in terms of how the terrain is used. Hole 3 and 15 were both particularly fun uses of large rock faces.

-Good course for beginners to cut their teeth on if they're looking to get into the sport. Trees present a good challenge to have them perfect form, but no crazy distances.

-Easy to access from bike paths.

-Decent signage in between holes indicating where to proceed.

-Locals were very friendly and willing to go above and beyond to help out in the event of any questions.

-The views around Holes 17-18 are absolutely f****n' unreal.

-In general I'd say it plays very fast. Despite being a 27 hole course, you can probably play in 2.5 hours, 2 if you're going at a decent clip.

Cons:

-Weird tee pad problem mentioned in other reviews has yet to be fixed.

-I personally don't mind this, but there really aren't any holes where you can just air it out.

-Not very many trash cans throughout course.

Other Thoughts:

-A couple of the baskets are adjacent to a mountain biking trail. They don't directly interfere with the hole, but be aware.

-Personally, I love walking, so maybe I'm biased...but it's really not a bad walk from the main Whistler village to the course! It's only about 2.5km, mostly on a rec/bike path. You cross a gorgeous river and I even got to see a beautiful black bear from a distance!

Overall Splendid, Fun Course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 25, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

In my opinion, this is an overall stellar course. Some of the highlights are as follows:

-Elevation variation. This course plays in and out of the woods on the side of a mountain. This makes for some great shots and some added difficulty therein as well.
-Scoring chances. While birdies are out on the course, the trees and elevation really make you work for some of them. If you short game is not accurate, you will struggle on many of these holes!
-27 holes: who doesn't love an extra 9 to keep you on the course for longer!

This is truly a wildly fun course that I highly recommend for folks in the area!

Cons:

To be quite honest, the only factor keeping this course from a 5 rating for me is the lack of signage. Some tees are labelled with the hole number, but many are missing this feature, and with multiple tees for each hole, this can get quite confusing. For the most part, however, paths between holes are well-worn and navigation is rather straight-forward.

Other Thoughts:

While many may argue that the tee pads are inadequate, I found that the short length of all these holes didn't necessitate a long or flat tee box, and that the character there really fit the course vibe!

Overall, Whistler offers an extremely fun, scenic disc golf course here at Spruce Grove Park. A variety of elevation, tree density, and hole length made for a fun challenge, even if birdie chances abound. A great course in a fun town, and worth the drive up for a day of fun!

Unreal! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 18, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is an amazing course. Definitely the best course I have played at. 27 amazing, unreal, fantastic, chose a word. It's going to be memorable course for sure.
They don't get much better than this. It has everything! Try to play this course because it is great!

Cons:

Only Con's I can think of is that it was kind of hard for us to find the course initially. We asked the people at the spa where the course was. First time we played we were kind of freaked out because it was raining and the powerlines were buzzing.

Spectacular Surroundings 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 5, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Amazing Views, Great changes in elevation, fairly well maintained, not too difficult to navigate. 27 Holes, (18 of which would get a 5 rating). I'm not too sure what else to say, except this is easily the nicest course in BC (that I've played). There is simply nothing else like it around, combine the stunning views with the innovation in holes and, well it makes for a very fun day of golf.

Cons:

One of the 9 hole layouts isn't great. There are a few tonals, which sucks in my opinion. Its REALLY hard to find the 1st hole. Power lines above for a few holes. Its probably completely unplayable in winter time.

Other Thoughts:

I like the wilderness hike type courses, and as far as that goes, this one cannot be beat. Bring water, and a snack (your car will be left behind for the duration of your round).

Amazing course!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 30, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is so well planned out. At first when I was walking up to it I thought that the overhead powerlines ruined what was otherwise a lovely alpine disc golf course. However, as I began to play, it didn't take long to notice how well the holes are laid out in the open, shots around the power poles, and through the woods. The powerlines are actually used as another effective tool to challenge the golfer. This course is fairly well signed, as I never was lost. It has very nice forest scenery, playing over large boulders and through forests of Firs and Cedars. There are dual tee pads which enchance the replay-ability factor.

Cons:

This isn't much of a con, but most of the holes are quite short, it might be nice to have a couple extra longer holes where one could really unload the driver. Another weak con is that the harsh terrain chews up one's disc relatively quickly compared to mostly grass or brush covered courses. Finally, because this course is located at the base of a ski mountain resort town, it's covered in snow 5-6 months of the year.

Other Thoughts:

I wonder how often bears are sighted at this course, lots of bears around Whistler. Also, these picture do not at all do the course justice, head up to Whistler to see it for yourself, I doubt you'll be disappointed.
