NEW GREENS FOR 2012!
Friday, September 16th, 2011The Whistler Golf Club is pleased to announce that the club will be replacing its putting surfaces with a new strain of Bent grass for the 2012 season. General Manager Alan Kristmanson on this capital upgrade:
” We are thrilled to be making this improvement to our putting surfaces for the 2012 season. 007 Bent grass will be installed to replace the current poa annua grass that has overtaken our greens over the last 28 years. Bent grass has a much stronger resistance to snow and ice damage and should allow us to get into summer condition much quicker in the Spring. We have had some challenges the last three years coming our of winter so we feel this will help dramatically. Bent grass also provides a much smoother putting surface. Mr. Palmer’s green complexes will not be altered at all as our guests love the rolling slope here at the Whistler Golf Club”
The current green surfaces will be stripped in early April weather permitting with new sod being installed immediately. The club hopes to be ready for play by the May 18th long weekend. The club hired Bos Sod from Abbotsford who began growing the grass in April. “We visited the sod farm this week” said golf course superintendent Dave Gottselig. ”The new grass looks great! It is already being cut at a 1/4 inch and should be in great shape for harvesting in April. Three greens a day will be installed in April. The greens will then be covered in tarps to increase growth. Once the sod is rooted in we will begin a process of topdressing and cutting with green heights slowly being lowered as it approaches opening day”
The Whistler Golf Club is currently in fantastic condition and plans to stay open with no greens aeration until October 10th. For more information on the Whistler Golf Club visit www.whistlergolf.com

THE BEARS OF THE WHISTLER GOLF CLUB
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011Well bear season is in full swing here in Whistler. With the late Spring many of the regions bears are down in the valley feeding on fescue grasses, dandelions and skunk cabbage which has yet to materialize on the mountains. The video below is an overview of the guest experience at the Whistler Golf Club during bear season. We have worked very hard to keep their natural food sources available by growing up our naturalized areas and not cutting back berry bushes. Click here to see some photos of the 2011 bears on course this season. Jeannie and her cub were a real treat to see! How about the two bears wrestling in the lake!!

The Range opens April 22nd!!
Tuesday, April 12th, 2011Well mother nature has won the battle this year but our crew is hard at work getting the course ready for the 2011 season. Even though we are only 1.5 hour drive from Vancouver the 2200 feet of elevation creates a much diferent environment for preparing a golf course. Currently we have anywhere from 6 inches to 2 feet of snow on the course but the crew has cleared all the greens and tees.
Our greens were cut for the first time today and with a month to go before opening day we look forward to welcoming spring to Whistler. Click here to checkout our Facebook fan page with photos of our spring preparations to date.
We are excited to open The Range on April 22nd. Our 2011 clinic programs are selling out quick to sign up now so as not be be disappointed! Head Teaching Professional Duncan Savage along with CPGA professionals Ryan Pepper and Dan Axford return for another great season of golf at The Range.
