It sits in a valley where the bases of Blackcomb and Whistler Mountains converge. — While the sights and sounds of summertime Whistler and Blackcomb naturally lend themselves to mountain biking and hiking, the surrounding area also features three world-class golf courses. The Arnold Palmer-designed Whistler Golf Club was chosen as one of the best golf courses in the world by Golf Magazine. 2 Unlike winter, the summer gives visitors an oppor- tunity to explore the area surrounding Whistler Village.
