Chateau Whistler Golf Club plans $2 million practice facility

British Columbia -- The Chateau Whistler Golf Club has begun construction on a new Practice & Learning Centre. The $2 million project will officially open in spring of 2003.

The Chateau Whistler Golf Club Practice & Learning Centre will be located adjacent to the sixth fairway on the golf course, and include a 350-yard long practice fairway with covered hitting areas, green tees, target greens and a significant short game component.

Designed by renowned Canadian golf course designer Gary Browning, the Practice & Learning Centre will be a world-class golf venue located in the spectacular natural surroundings of Whistler.

"We are very excited about the opportunities that the new facility will offer," says Murray Blair, Corporate Director of Golf Operations for Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. "The new Practice & Learning Centre will elevate golf in Whistler to a higher level, and provide an excellent environment for top golf schools to operate and attract students from around the world."

The Chateau Whistler Golf Club Practice & Learning Centre will compliment the existing golf club facilities and complete the summer experience at The Fairmont Chateau Whistler.

Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the Chateau Whistler Golf Club winds its way through some of the most interesting terrain in British Columbia. Readers of Conde Nast Traveler Magazine consistently rank the Chateau Whistler Golf Club one of the top golf resorts in North America, Mexico and the Caribbean.
