Located at the foot of Mt. Currie, just 25 minutes north of the world-class
resort community of Whistler Village, Big Sky delivers a truly thrilling golf
experience.
The course is a classic links design built on
gentle rolling terrain that integrates seven lakes connected by a serpentine
creek.
Big Sky also offers the finest in golf resort amenities with a
fully licensed restaurant capable of hosting weddings and
corporate functions plus a complete pro shop.
The golf season in this mini-banana belt runs from mid-April
through mid October, downright lengthy by British Columbia
interior standards.
With four sets of tees ranging from 7,001 to 5,208 yards, Big Sky presents a
risk-reward challenge at every hole for every skill level. In fact, the layout
doesn't impose strategy; it presents options for players to develop their own.
Course designer Bob Cupp, who bulldozed 350,000 cubic yards of dirt to add
movement to a site known previously for its seed potatoes, built a dike around
the course to facilitate irrigation. Tree planting was kept to a minimum so as
not to impede panoramic views of the Coast Mountains, notably 8,450-foot Mt.
Currie which stands sentinel over the south end of the links.
The trick is to create a versatile course everyone
can enjoy." With its generous bail-out areas and spectacular backdrop, Big Sky
fits the bill.
Big Sky is also known for its extensive practice facilities featuring a
350-yard, double-ended driving range, two practice bunkers, and three practice
putting greens. Big Sky Golf Academy, one of western Canada's top teaching
facilities, offers a variety of two and three-day programs ideal for beginners
through scratch golfers. There are even women-only sessions that are extremely
popular.
