There are places for tourists and places
for the locals. In beautiful resort
destinations, you’ll be pampered with all the relaxation perks tourism culture
wonderfully provides. And then there’s
the local life. Where you’re part of the
community and you feel like you’re home.
It’s those local places that are the best kept secrets. And that’s the golf course I want to share
with you: Squamish Valley Golf & Country
Club. You won’t feel like a stranger; they’ll make
sure of that.
The town of Squamish is the halfway point
between Vancouver and Whistler - a 45 minute drive either way; famous for its
massive slab of rock called The Chief. (When I say massive, I mean remarkably
gargantuan where climbers look like ants.)
Dan Trevisan is the Head Pro at Squamish Valley Golf & Country
Club and he instructs all levels of golf. As a player, Dan also knows what it’s like to
win championships. Ya, Dan! I’ve been fortunate to play the course with
him and his wife, Dianne. Fun
rounds! If you need any golf tips or
tweaking, definitely go see Dan The Man (But,
don’t call him that. I just made that
nickname up while writing this blog post.
Or…try it out when you see him and tell him you read it in an article on
IVHE. Let me know if he likes it.) Speaking of like, everyone likes Dan! You’ll see what I mean when you meet
him.
Squamish Valley has
some of the best customer service, by far, in Northwest BC Golf. I have played there many times. It’s one of my favourite go-to courses on any
given day. (I may or may not have regularly skipped out of work to play
Squamish…I’ll never tell.)
The course is well
maintained and groomed with great care and BC pride. Plenty of evergreens and splendid mountain
peaks surrounding the 18 holes. Green fees are very reasonable.
Psst, keep that a secret! We don’t want them upping their prices.
Stay and have
dinner. You’ll enjoy the delicious selections
on their menu and the spacious patio that overlooks the 9th and 10th
holes with its mountain range backdrop.
