Where to Golf at Canada Ski Resorts

While skiers and snowboarders live for the winter months in the Great White North, Canada’s premier mountain resorts don’t shut down when the snow melts. After the lifts close down, the fairways open up and some of the most dramatic golf courses in North America come alive in the shadows of the Canadian Rockies, Coast Range, and the Laurentian Mountains. Let us show you some of Canada’s best ski resort golf courses.

The Best Ski Resort Golf Courses in Canada

Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club, Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia

Whistler Blackcomb is legendary as North America’s largest ski resort, but summer, and particularly its golf courses, are just as impressive. The Audubon-certified Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Club, on the flank of Blackcomb Mountain, was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and offers a true mountain golf experience. You’ll experience more than 400 feet of elevation change and stunning views on every hole. Bonus: Fairmont guest privileges include a Junior Golfer Play Free program, in which players between the ages of 10-16 can play free of charge when accompanied by one full paying adult after 1 p.m.

Whistler is home to several other incredible golf courses, including the Arnold Palmer-designed Whistler Golf Club and the Jack Nicklaus-designed Nicklaus North Golf Course—all within a five-minute drive of the village.

Greywolf Golf Course, Panorama Mountain Resort, British Columbia

Dramatically nestled against the backdrop of the Purcell Mountains, Greywolf, designed by Canadian architect Doug Carrick, is a world-renowned course that’s ranked as one of the best public courses in Canada. Hole after hole features stunning views that you’ll remember long after your round is over. A dynamite collection of par-3s is capped by the spectacular “Cliffhanger” hole, unquestionably one of the best in North America, if not the entire world. With beautifully sculpted bentgrass fairways and hair-raising elevation changes, your round at Greywolf will be one for the bucket list. Afterward, enjoy an upscale casual dinner at the Cliffhanger Restaurant, featuring beautiful views of the golf course and surrounding mountains.

Sun Peaks Golf Course, Sun Peaks, British Columbia

At 1,200 meters (over 3,900 feet) above sea level, Sun Peaks Golf Course is British Columbia’s highest course. Centered along the valley floor between Tod, Sundance, and Morrisey mountains, the Graham Cooke-designed course provides many high-risk, high-reward opportunities. The signature 16th hole sits at an elevation of 1,333 meters (4,353 feet), the highest tee box in BC, where those who have the chops may be able to drive the green on this short par 4. Other highlights include hole 13, featuring head-on views of Mt. Tod, and hole 7, known as one of the best sunset spots in Sun Peaks, where the water wraps around the green.

Trickle Creek Golf Resort, Kimberley Alpine Resort, British Columbia

Located on the slopes of Kimberley Alpine Resort’s North Star Mountain, Trickle Creek is a mountain masterpiece that highlights the rugged beauty of the Kootenay Rockies. Designed by renowned architect Les Furber, the course was recently awarded a bronze medal by readers of SCOREGolf Magazine as one of the top resort golf courses in Canada. Trickle Creek is all about the wow factor—white silica sand bunkers, dramatic elevation drops, and water hazards that come into play on nearly half the holes. Rounding out the experience is the golf-in/golf-out Trickle Creek Lodge, which makes for a seamless transition from the 18th green to the outdoor pool and hot tubs.

Monterra Golf, Blue Mountain Resort, Ontario

Monterra Golf offers a sophisticated challenge at the base of the Niagara Escarpment. Since opening in 1989, it has become a staple for golfers seeking a mix of traditional and modern mountain design. Monterra features rolling bentgrass fairways, 86 strategically placed bunkers, and a unique layout that incorporates natural ravines, creeks, and lakes. While it’s an easy day trip to Blue Mountain Resort from Toronto, which is just two hours away, consider making a weekend of it and enjoying all that Ontario’s only year-round mountain resort and spa has to offer.

Le Diable and Le Géant, Mont Tremblant, Quebec

Mont Tremblant is consistently ranked as one of the top ski resorts in North America, and its summer golf is equally elite. The resort features two distinct 18-hole championship courses. Le Diable (The Devil) is a par-71 course known for its imposing red-sand bunkers and long, narrow fairways that test your precision. If you’re looking for something slightly more forgiving but equally scenic, Le Géant (The Giant) is a par-72 course featuring plateaus sculpted directly into the mountainside, offering heart-stopping views of the Laurentians and the surrounding valley.

Le Grand Vallon, Mont-Sainte-Anne, Quebec

Just 30 minutes from Quebec City, Le Grand Vallon is an 18-hole par-72 course situated at the foot of the beautiful Mont-Sainte-Anne ski area. At 6,618 yards, it’s a reasonable test for golfers, featuring a sophisticated mix of hilly terrain and wide open plains, 40 white silica sand traps, and four lakes that keep you honest throughout. When your round is done, the resort’s terrace overlooking the 18th green is the perfect spot to raise a toast and recount the day.
