Nicklaus North was designed by Jack Nicklaus — the only course bearing his name in Canada — along the shores of Green Lake, north of Whistler Village. The fairway-adjacent homes and golf estates here sit on some of the largest lots in Whistler, with the added amenity of year-round Green Lake waterfront access. In winter, the course converts to a cross-country ski trail, making Nicklaus North a genuine 4-season address.

Golf corridor homes on the Pemberton Avenue approach — well-positioned for both course access and the Valley Trail's cycling and recreation network.
Rainbow Neighbourhood

Nicklaus North Golf Estates — Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Nicklaus North a distinctive golf course?
Nicklaus North is the only golf course in Canada that bears the Nicklaus name — it was designed by Jack Nicklaus himself and runs along the shores of Green Lake north of Whistler Village. The course is celebrated for its mountain scenery, with Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains as a continuous backdrop, and for routing several holes along Green Lake's shore. It is consistently ranked among BC's finest resort courses and holds an enviable playing season in the Whistler context.
What price range should I expect for Nicklaus North golf estates?
Properties in the Nicklaus North corridor range from approximately $4,000,000 for homes on secondary streets with golf views but no direct frontage, to $10,000,000 and above for premier Green Lake waterfront properties with both lake frontage and golf course adjacency. The dual-amenity combination of lake and fairway is rare and commands a significant premium over single-amenity alternatives.
Is Green Lake suitable for swimming and boating?
Green Lake is Whistler's northernmost and largest lake, and its turquoise glacial colour makes it one of the most visually striking in the Sea-to-Sky corridor. The lake is suitable for kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming in summer — water temperatures are cool but accessible on warm days. Motorized boating is restricted to maintain the lake's recreational and ecological character. Green Lake also receives the most sun of Whistler's chain of lakes due to its more open valley position.
Does the Nicklaus North course operate year-round?
Nicklaus North typically operates from late April through early November, weather permitting — one of the longest seasons of any mountain resort course in BC. In winter, a portion of the course converts to a groomed cross-country ski trail, providing residents with year-round trail-based recreational access directly from their properties. This 4-season utility is one of the key distinguishing features of the Nicklaus North address.
How far is Nicklaus North from Whistler Village?
The Nicklaus North area is approximately 5 to 8 minutes north of Whistler Village by car, or a pleasant 20-minute cycle on the Valley Trail that connects the entire resort corridor. The slightly north-of-Village location gives Nicklaus North properties a quieter residential character than closer-in neighbourhoods, while keeping all Village amenities — restaurants, ski lift access, spa facilities — easily accessible.
