Few golf destinations in British Columbia combine genuine mountain grandeur with a layout this accessible. Big Sky Golf Club sits in the Pemberton Valley, a broad agricultural plain ringed by some of the most dramatic peaks in the Coast Mountains — including Mount Currie, which rises abruptly from the valley floor to dominate virtually every sightline on the property. The name is not marketing; the sky here actually is bigger, the air cleaner, the scale of everything around you more humbling than almost anywhere else you can tee it up in the province.
Pemberton sits about 30 kilometres north of Whistler, well past the resort corridor and closer in spirit to a working ranching and farming community than a tourist destination. That separation gives Big Sky a character distinct from the polished resort courses nearby — it draws a loyal local following alongside visitors who make the easy drive up Highway 99.
The valley's wide, open terrain shapes how the course plays and feels: exposed to mountain breezes, generous in its vistas, and unhurried in its pace.
