Squamish GolfSquamish has two great golf courses, and the Sea to Sky Hotel is located halfway between them, and within a kilometer of each. Golf in the Squamish Valley is characterized by great views of snow capped mountains and forests –the golfing and the views are just as good as, if not better than the views in Whistler, and all this usually comes at a better price. One km south of the Sea to Sky Hotel: Squamish Valley Golf & Country Club
Open year round, the Squamish Valley course has 18 holes, par 72, and 4 sets of tees. The course features two lakes, a double green, and a full sized, 275 yard practice facility, including practice sand traps. Along with giant trees, the course incorporates the massive stumps from the first growth timber into the design . The golf course is mostly flat and an easy walk with food & beverage service at the 10th tee turn, snack cart service on the back nine. And of course, there is the Clubhouse's award winning menu.
