What to Expect:  The best mountain views of all the courses in the Whistler area, Big Sky is located 35 minutes from the city center and offers a remote setting that will deliver plenty of eye candy. The Bob Cupp design lays on terrain that is mostly flat but utilizes the marshy land to create hole designs with engaging features and requires some quality shots to navigate. While plenty of bunkers are in play, it is the water that is found on 16 of the holes that will stand out as the most challenging feature to navigate. Anyone that visits Big Sky will walk away with one strong impression; the views of Mount Currie truly are spectacular. The mountain backdrops at the course are a constant reminder of being located in Canada’s beautiful country. Generally less busy and more scenic than the immediate Whistler courses, you’ll enjoy the pace of play at Big Sky but you’d be wise to bring bug repellent with you as they love the marshy areas during certain times each season. While you might expect to be located at a high elevation, the course sits at less than 700 feet and plays more like sea level compared to what you’d find in Banff. While most patrons will choose to take a cart, Big Sky is very walkable which can enhance the experience.
