WHAT A TRIP LOOKS LIKE
Fly In & Sea-to-Sky Drive
Vancouver arrival, Sea-to-Sky Highway to Whistler, a group dinner at Araxi or Rimrock Cafe in the Village. If you can time the drive for late afternoon, the Squamish Chief rock face and Howe Sound are at their best.
Chateau Whistler Golf Club
RTJ Jr.'s forested course at Chateau Whistler opens with tight fairways and mountain views — a premium resort design with attention to conditioning that justifies the green fee. Afternoon: mountain bike or gondola ride.
Nicklaus North Golf Course
Nicklaus North's lakeside setting and open parkland routing is a complete tonal contrast to Chateau Whistler's forest character — the Green Lake backdrop and impeccable conditioning make it the group's most photographed round of the trip.
Drive to Kelowna — Wine Country
The 4-hour Connector drive from Whistler to Kelowna through the Okanagan is a transition day — stop at a Summerland or Peachland winery on the way in, check into your accommodation, and have a tasting-menu dinner on the Mission strip.
Predator Ridge Golf Resort
Predator Ridge's two Les Furber courses (Predator and Osprey) offer the most comprehensive golf-resort experience in the Okanagan — panoramic lake and valley views, excellent conditioning, and a resort infrastructure that handles groups cleanly.
Gallagher's Canyon
Gallagher's Canyon is Bill Robinson and Les Furber's dramatic canyon design — the rock wall corridors on the back nine create a visual and strategic contrast to anything else in the Okanagan golf market. Okanagan winery circuit in the afternoon before the flight.
Fly Home
Kelowna International has direct Toronto flights on most days — the airport is 20 minutes from the Mission district. Most groups add one more winery stop before departure.
GROUPS 12+ — Split the group's stays between a Whistler Village condo rental (3 nights) and a Kelowna Mission district vacation home (3 nights) rather than two resort hotels — the condo and house options give you group kitchen and living space that hotel rooms don't, and Kelowna's accommodation costs are significantly lower than Whistler.
