Nearby Squamish and almost halfway to Whistler http://www.cheapvapormaxshoesoutlet.com/ , Furry Creek Golf Course (in British Columbia, Canada) is built into the side of a mountain, allowing for holes with huge elevation changes. With spectacular scenery, sweeping views of the ocean nike vapormax cheap outlet , islands and mountains, this par 72 course designed by Robert Muir Graves and built in 1993 surely satisfied our craving for a unique & challenging golf experience.
Starting the round off with the first hole (aptly named “The Drop Zone”), members of What’s Hot Media stood in awe overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Mountains while we teed off to a fairway 165 ft below. With a large pond on the left and Furry Creek on the right, we had to be sure to hit a straight shot!
A few holes later we arrived at one of the most difficult par 5s of the course. The 459 yard hole 3 plays uphill with fairways sloped right to left. Just when we thought it was nike vapormax 2019 outlet , we had to make a lofted approach shot to reach the undulating green surrounded by bunkers and hills.
Continuing through the forested mountains we reached another difficult par 5. The winding hole 11 forced us to take 3 shots to make it to the green. Our second shot needed to be placed at the edge of the fairway, before the expansive ravine that protects the highly elevated two tiered green. We had to make sure we used an extra club or two with an accurate shot to make it over the ravine and up onto the green.
Soon after, we arrived at the most recognized hole in BC – The Tee by the Sea. Dubbed “BC’s Signature Golf Hole”, Hole 14 is a 184 yard par 3 bordered by the BC coast on the left and an open fairway on the right. To make it to the green in one nike vapormax china outlet , club selection and a perfect shot were key. The green is well protected by water all around (except the right side) and a well placed bunker in front. The conservative strategy for this hole was to lay up on the right side and follow with a chip and a putt for par.
Thankfully golf carts were included in the green fees, because we weren’t looking for an active hike during our golf game. The carts helped to easily overcome the long distances through the forest from the greens to the next set of tees. The added bonus of GPS built into the golf carts provided us with precise yardage when we drove up to our ball.
We had to make sure we brought plenty of spare golf balls as many of the holes are narrow and fairways tend to drop off the side of the mountain, making stray shots impossible to retrieve.
After our round of golf, we made sure to grab some refreshments at the Sea to Sky Grill in the award-winning 33 nike vapormax mens outlet ,000 square foot clubhouse. Serving up fresh West Coast cuisine, while providing beautiful views of Howe Sound from the patio, it was the perfect finish to a day spent golfing on a coastal mountain. We highly recommend Furry Creek Golf Course for a breathtaking, challenging experience like no other.
