Furry Creek Golf and Country Club offers a golfing experience like no other. With rugged mountains and panoramic views of the Squamish Inlet, it’s sometimes hard to concentrate on the golf; but Robert Muir Graves has put together a masterpiece that should not be missed. This 6,184 yard course takes you over mountain streams, across ravines and along ocean points to bring you what has been called "the best golf challenge in the Pacific Northwest."

The par four #1 and par three #14 stand out as perfect examples of Furry Creek golf. Number one tantalizes you with a 165 foot drop from the tee to the green. In spite of the water to the left and the trees to the right, big hitters can rarely resist the temptation to let one fly. With a favourable combination of wind and elevation it is not unheard of to reach the green 326 yards away!

The par three fourteen brings you a golfing experience unlike any other. Hugging the unspoiled shoreline of the Squamish inlet this awe-inspiring par-three may be the prettiest golf hole in all of Canada!

Ranging from 211 yards from the championship tees to 141 yards from the forward tees, a solid long or mid-iron is required to reach the green that has bunkers short and long and is surrounded on three sides by water. Add capricious winds to the mix and you will quickly see that this hole is as challenging as it is beautiful. And my lord is it beautiful!

Known among trivia buffs and the course that Bob Barker and Adam Sandler had it out on, in the movie "Happy Gilmore" Furry Creek is a golfing experience unlike any other on the continent. It won’t be the course you shoot your career round on, but it will be one of the courses you will remember for the rest of your life. Be sure to include it in any Vancouver or Whistler golf vacation!
